From primitive Slavs, he was divided into Yugoslavia, West Slavs and East Slavs. Together with the Germans and Celts, they were called the three barbarians in Europe by the Romans during the Roman Empire, and they are also one of the representative nationalities in Europe today.

Now many countries like southern Europe and eastern Europe believe in the Orthodox Church. Greece, for example, is a pure Orthodox country. Therefore, from the perspective of religious belief, Russians also belong to the scope of the mainstream western religion Christianity, which is also a kind of integration with the whole European countries.
