The invisible presence of Athos in the inner life of Rus', of the Third Rome manifests itself in waves (floods and ebbs), in the combs of the waves, generally contemporizes with an enlargement of the Greek-Slavonic-Russian relationship and had a great impact on the Southern Slavic culture through the books of the Athon. This is right for the early period of Russian history as well as for more later times. Comb, flood, contacts with the Athon are usually a time of spiritual ascent of the Russian nation.
