Hesychasm has been one of the most important spiritual tendencies in Byzantine monasticism. It turned out to deeply influence spiritual and philosophic development of medieval Rus'.

Hesychastic tradition had existed in Russia since XIV century and is integral part of development of Russian philosophy.
