Why didn't the Russians convert to Judaism?

[Smeagol]

''The Primary Chronicle reports that in the year 987, after consultation with his boyars, Vladimir the Great sent envoys to study the religions of the various neighboring nations whose representatives had been urging him to embrace their respective faiths. The result is described by the chronicler Nestor. Of the Muslim Bulgarians of the Volga the envoys reported there is no gladness among them, only sorrow and a great stench. He also reported that Islam was undesirable due to its taboo against alcoholic beverages and pork. Vladimir remarked on the occasion: "Drinking is the joy of all Rus'. We cannot exist without that pleasure." Ukrainian and Russian sources also describe Vladimir consulting with Jewish envoys (who may or may not have been Khazars), and questioning them about their religion but ultimately rejecting it as well, saying that their loss of Jerusalem was evidence that they had been abandoned by God. His emissaries also visited Roman Catholic and Orthodox missionaries. Ultimately Vladimir settled on Orthodox Christianity.''

What if Vladimir has chosen Judaism? What would a Jewish Russia be like?

if vladimir and russians would have embraced roman catholicism instead of orthodoxy... all would have been the same more or less, or not?

and btw, judaism forbids alcohol and pork like islam, so if vladimir can't drink vodka, no judaism either.

wasn't vladimir the best theologician of all times?,

oh yeah, he was.

Oh, I guess that explains it.

[YeshAtid]

Judaism doesn't forbid alcohol at all. On Purim Jews are encouraged to drink to excess

[B01AB20]

Oh, I guess that explains it.

are you being sarcastic to me?,

judaism forbids pork, I'm sure of that, but not so sure about alcohol; it was a wishful thinking.
