Slavic peoples began settling into Russia during the days of the Roman Empire. They intermixed and intermarried with natives, but created a distinct culture. Trade began to flourish in the 6th century as a trade route was established with Scandinavia. These Scandinavians began establishing governments along the trade routes particularly in the city of Kiev. As Kiev grew more populated a monarchy emerged which, though composed of loose alliances with landed aristocracy, lasted until the 12th century. Contact with the Byzantine Empire introduced Christianity to the region, mass conversions were made and a separate Russian Orthodox Church soon began to take shape. A formal law code was developed, and state run courts were created. Much of the culture was based upon the Byzantine example with traditional practices giving way to new ideas. Using the Cyrillic alphabet, the Russian language and literature began to develop.
