Abstract
The article discusses some aspects of the influence of RomanByzantine law on the legal system of Kievan Rus. Such legal transplants were conducted through the religious sphere of society, namely, through representatives of the clergy and institutions of the Christian church.
 The author comes to the conclusion that the legal doctrine of Russia had been Christian-centric since the time of the Kievan Rus. The ancient Slavs were not only ready for the adoption of such a legal paradigm, but even demanded it. In particular, this is indicated by the granting to the church court of several greater powers than in Byzantium.
 According to the author, Christian-centricity is a fundamental element of the legal paradigm of modern Russia, which is proven by the peculiarities of constitutional reform in the country.
