The Kremlin is a fortress and symbol of power. C. Orthodox Christianity became the official religion. D. Russian peasants had more freedom than most European peasants. E.

Answer 1

Well, my origin and parents are from Russia, so you could trust me PRETTY WELL! =P <-----------(Emoji)
Your ACTUAL ACCURATE answers would be A. and E.
The other answers are QUITE RIDICULOUS, and ISLAM is the majority of the religion in Russia. The PEASANTS in Russia had to suffer from poor treatment and dictatorship while OTHER COUNTRIES let their peasants eat sausage and STILL get treated more fair than Russian peasants. The KREMLIN is ACTUALLY a cathedral, and has NOTHING TO DO with being a symbol of power.
Well, these all just leave A. and E. as the ONLY ACCURATE AND CORRECT answers.
THESE ARE ALL BY MY OWN WORDS, AND I KNOW THESE FOR A FACT DUE TO MY RUSSIAN HERITAGE.
I hope I helped! =D

Answer 2

B. The Kremlin is a fortress and symbol of power, C. Orthodox Christianity became the official religion.

Explanation:

Ivan the Terrible consolidated the Grand Duchy of Moscow, which gained total independence from Mongols. The Kremlin is a military and seat of the Tsar and the Russian Ortodox Christianity, which became the official religion of Russia until 1917.

The Russian peasants had less freedom than most European peasants, since rural economy was predominant and feudal institutions remained until Modern Age.

Ivan III accepted the Byzantine influence during his reign.
