The alphabet.

Saints Cyril and Methodius (and their disciples) adapted Greek letters to create the Cyrillic/Glagolitic scripts and Church Slavonic liturgy. That gave the Slavs a written language, spread Christianity and Byzantine culture, and had the most lasting impact on Russian literacy and identity.
