He never was on the territory of Russia. Even close. His voyage to the East passed below Black Sea.
First, Greeks are not Romans. Second, accepting some religion does not mean "creating state". Vladimir chose religion from many options. He invited priests of all known to him religions - Muslim, Judaic, Catholic, Orthodox, Zoroastry, Buddhism and few others and finally chose Orthodox Christianity.
Is it so hard to believe that somebody could exist on its own and not be someone else vassal or creature? Russian civilisation is separate and independent phenomena. Just like American Natives or India. Deal with it.
Alexander the Great traversed the known World. Kazakhstan has him? The horselords spanned turkic script. Mongolia to Morocco. That trade route dates back a very very long time. How did we get chickens and sheep?
However he had influence on the next tribes that followed, Huns and Mongols. But the Scythians. Scythians Ukraine, Russia, peoples of the Steppes.

The Greeks were in the Black Sea for a long time.
Vladimir set up Christianity in Moscow. It started as a monastery.
