For centuries, the peoples of Kyivan Rus and Byzantium were in constant, close contact with one another. It comes as no surprise, then, that numerous articles on this relationship have been published in Dumbarton Oaks Papers, a leading journal in the field of Byzantine Studies. Here is a selection of some such articles published by luminaries of the field. Each title is a link to the article in JSTOR.
