Description
Historically, in the 16th century the Roman Empire of Constantinople was long gone and its revival viewed as impossible. The Orthodox Faith never had a head figure like the Pope of the Catholic Faith. It however was mostly guided from Constantinople by the Patriarch there. As the Sunni Muslim Ottomans used the Patriarchs hostage-like situation for there own political gains many Orthodox countries felt appalled and started to loosen the chains of tradition. There had not existed a country as mighty as the Byzantines until...Russia was formed. Russia was created from the notion of full control of all those orthodox people that once had been Christianized from Kiev. This together with the fact that there was only one Orthodox country powerful enough to take up the mantle of the fallen Byzantines made the solution perfect and, thus the Greatest of Princedoms changed into the Empire of Russia.Actions

Triggered by
Action A of 210004 - Preparations of Vytautas for LithuaniaDescription
In 1425 Wassilij I, ruler of Muscovy, fostered his young son Vassilij II with his father-in-law Vytautas, and soon afterwards died. Vytautas was still determined to win a crown, but needed a visible success which could be proof of his strong position in eastern Europe and thus strengthen his claims. His first objective was Pskov. In 1426 he invaded the republic and forced it to pay tribute. In 1427 he made the borderland between Lithuania and Muscovy, known as the Wierchovian princedoms, subordinate to himself. It was composed of many small regions, which maintained their independence by maintaining tensions between Lithuania and Muscovy.Actions
