But this explanation can hardly be considered satisfactory, since the period of time between both campaigns is very long.
The Khazars never recovered from this destruction. True, Noah still had significant possessions along the shores of the Black and Azov Seas, but she was gradually losing them too: Under Vladimir St. in Tiutorakani (Phanagori) a Russian princedom is formed, where Vladishr will place his son Mstislav. In 1016, conquered by the Byzantine emperor Vasime, who sent the Greek fleet to the Sea of Azov, defeated the Khazarekato Kagapa Geormya Tzulu and in the first battle took him to Ilfn 2). The Khazars ceased to exist politically, but the memory of it remained for a long time: the Cayesh Sea was called Khazarekim, and part of the Crimea was called Gazars. In XU this name was still heard near Kafa, and then everything froze 3). Only the Lezgins and other peoples of the Caucasus still call Jews by the name “Khazar” *).
We have briefly reviewed the historical and everyday life of two peoples, who in the ancient period of our history had very good and mostly friendly relations with Russia. One of these sovereigns, Bulgaria, begins to develop precisely during the reign of St. Vladishra, and we see how he tries, among the general concerns for his states, to establish friendly commercial and industrial ties between the Russian and Bulgarian peoples, a connection that could bring Rus' a lot of benefit in cultural terms. In general, we see St. Vladimir’s words after Irinya’s Christian message. no eating aimless bogatyretva & only striving to arrange your own m) Harkavi, pp. 219-220.

Another state, Khazarla, in the era of St. Vlalimtra. falls. The Khazars' rule over the Russian-Elavian tribes lasted for about two centuries. The dependence of our ancestors on the Khazars was expressed mainly in the payment of tribute in moss, perhaps also in money and industrial and cake products'). It can also be assumed that in some places our Khazars had garrisons, as indicated by the preservation of their ancient settlements, called Khazareks, but these could also have been Khazarean trading factories, where eastern merchants lived under the protection of the Khazarean detachments. The Khazars undoubtedly lived in Kyiv% °). Given the facts of the remarkable religious and national tolerance of the Khazar rulers, we cannot assume that the rule of the Khazars was difficult for our ancestors. We do not have any indication of hostile relations between the Ruban Slavs and the Khazars. On the contrary, the very legend about sending ambassadors from the Khazars to convert Vladimr to Judaism is an echo of the formerly dark, friendly relations between Russia and the Khazars. The cultural background of the Khazars at first had to be very strong. Rus' to its PRINCES Give the title that was worn by the Khazars and contemporaries of St. Vladimir. call it a katana 3). Doesn't this, perhaps quite by accident, express the idea of transferring Rus' to Misya and Khazali - to be a stronghold of Europe against Asia? In addition to the civilizing influence on the Russian-Slavic tribes, in addition to the protection of eastern trade, which was of great importance for the whole of Europe, the Khazars, in the era of the highest development of their power, provided a huge service, being a stronghold of Europe in the east against the countless nomadic masses of Asia, and in the south against the aggressive aspirations of the Arabs. To the west, the Franks were removed from the Pyrenees by the Arab border, the Khazars to the east put them in front of the Caucasians. The fall of the Khazars opened a wide road to Europe for the nomadic inhabitants of the central walls, transferred the entire burden of the struggle against Azma to the Russian people, which resulted in a slowdown in the cultural development of Rus' in all relations.
