24. Achievements of the Christian culture of Russia

By the time of the adoption of Christianity, Russia was already a country with a distinctive culture. Crafts and wood construction techniques reached a high level.

Not later than the end of the XNUMXth - beginning of the XNUMXth centuries. Slavic alphabets - Cyrillic and Glagolitic - are spreading in Russia. Created in the second half of the XNUMXth century by the brothers Cyril (Konstantin) and Methodius and having an initial distribution in the West Slavic state - Great Moravia, they soon penetrate into Bulgaria and Russia.

The first Russian monument of Slavic writing is the Russian-Byzantine treaty of 911.

The appearance in Russia after the adoption of Christianity of literature in the Slavic language, on the one hand, and the complication of public life with the development of feudal relations, the formation of a state structure, on the other, contributed to the widespread spread of literacy. A clear evidence of this is birch bark letters - letters on birch bark of various (mainly business) content. They were discovered during excavations already in nine ancient Russian cities (the bulk of the finds come from Novgorod).

In the XI - early XII centuries. a large number of translated works (mainly from Greek) of both religious and secular content are distributed in Russia. The latter include, in particular, historical works, among which one can single out the translation of the Byzantine Chronicle of George Amartol.

The earliest of the works of ancient Russian literature that have come down to us is Illarion's "Sermon on Law and Grace". It was written in the middle of the XNUMXth century. Metropolitan Hilarion, the first (and only in the period from the adoption of Christianity to the middle of the XNUMXth century) Russian by origin head of the Russian Church. The main idea of ​​the "Sermon on Law and Grace" is the entry of Russia after the adoption of Christianity into the family of Christian peoples, in which the author sees the merit of Prince Vladimir and his son Yaroslav, who continued the work of spreading the new faith. At the same time, the pre-Christian past of Russia in the eyes of Illarion does not look like "dark ages", on the contrary, he emphasizes that Vladimir, his father Svyatoslav and grandfather Igor "dominated not in a thin and unknown land, but in Russian, which is known and heard in all four corners earth".

In the second half of the XI - the beginning of the XII century. a number of original works arose in Russia, among which stands out a cycle of legends about the first Russian saints - princes Boris and Gleb and the "Life" of the abbot of the Kiev-Pechersk monastery Theodosius, written by the monk of this monastery Nestor.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>
