Prince Vladimir of Russia sent representatives (ambassadors) to the Hagia Sophia. When they returned they reported, "We only know that God dwells there among men." what happened as a result of their visit?

Prince Vladimir converts to the Eastern Orthodox religion and consequently Christianity spreads east to Russia.

Explanation:

Prince Vladimir was the Prince of Novgorod and ruled over Kievan Rus from 980 - 1015. The passage is about his interest in knowing more about the various religions in his neighboring kingdom.

The beginning of Christianity in the kingdom of Kievan Rus began with Prince Vladimir's attempts of learning more about the various religions surrounding the nation. He had sent ambassadors to the different religious groups, Muslims, Jews and even others. But the representatives always return with one fault or another. But when the men who were sent to the Eastern Orthodox Christianity came back, they had nothing bad to say about it. The account of the envoys impressed him so much that he converted to the religion and thus, begins the spreading of Christianity in Russia.
