Russian peasant folklore, being modal and often monodic, was generally compatible with the Byzantine chant established by the Church.
Russian music of the 16th and early 17th centuries was exceedingly modal, and its polyphony lacked harmonic definition (in folk as well as church music), while Ukrainian music preserved these East Slavic traits only in its southeastern and north-central regions close to Kiev.

 Russian Znamenny Chant, Znammeny Chant, Znameny Chant
Russian Church music--the Znamenny Chant--was in the long past derived from Byzantium, but was no sooner on Russian soil that it encountered an entirely new medium--the musical perception of the Russian people, its whole culture and custom, and thus began its second Russian life.
Znamenny chant scholarship is generally divided into three periods: the pre-Mongol period (from 988 to the mid-thirteenth century), the Mongol period (from the mid-thirteenth to the mid-fifteenth centuries), and the period of late chant (from the mid-fifteenth to the late seventeenth centuries).
However, the Russians that used znamenny notation as opposed to Kondakarion notation were a bit more helpful than the Byzantines in that they actually took the time to compile somewhat of a glossary of their symbols.
