The Primary Chronicle states that when Vladimir had decided to accept a new faith instead of the traditional idol-worship (paganism) of the Slavs, he sent out some of his most valued advisors and warriors as emissaries to different parts of Europe.
A Crónica indica que cando Vladimir decidiu aceptar a nova fe cristiá en lugar do paganismo idólatra eslavo, mandou a algúns dos seus conselleiros e guerreiros máis cercanos a distintos países de Europa.
