 Official diplomatic manuscript of The Byzantine Empire to The Great Duke of Russia.the wisest and Great Duke Vladimir von Novgorod Our Orthodox faith is facing great chalenge in face of Muslim and Pagans,and even the Catholics,we propose to sign a mutual defence treaty between our two God loved countries. We know about your situation with the Tatar and Mongol invaders and even the Poles and the Baltic states and you great Duke know about situation against the Turks so it would be the best thing to do to protect Christendom against common enemies who would like to plunder our citties and slaughter our people. As an act of our friendship to our Orthodox brothers the Constantinoples Patriarch has given status of Arhiepiscopy to Novgorod church. We will also send you 10000 golden drachmas to help your economy. Our armies will be able to assist you at any time,but we will not go to war against some other country if you dont ask it from us and vice-versa. Also in Constantinople a Byzantine foreign battalion is being assembled to travel to your country and put itself under Great Duke's personal command. The Great Emperor has proclaimed that the Great Duchy of Russia is a brother state to Byzantine Empire and every citizen of Byzantium must defend Great Duchy as if it was his own homeland.
