The state religion of the Uighur kingdom of Turkestan in Central Asia remained Manichaeism and this territory itself became part of the [[Islamic]] world when Turkestan was conquered. Around the year 1000, Islamic writers such as Ebn al-Nadim were writing about Manichaeism <ref>See Ebn al-Nadim, al-FEHREST iii. The Representation of Manicheism in the Fehrest.</ref>. The Bogomils were the connecting link between the so-called heretical sects of the East and those of the West. They were, moreover, the most active agents in disseminating such teachings in Kievan Rus' and among all the nations of Europe.

The ''Legend of Saint Gerard'' discloses that followers of Bulgarian Bogomilism were present during the early 11th century in Ahtum's realm, which comprised present day Banat, bounded by Transylvania and Walachia in the east, by the Tisza River in the west, by the Mures River in the north, and by the Danube River in the south.<ref>"Ahtum's realm"—Achtum, Ahtum or Ajtony was an early-11th-century ruler in the territory now known as Banat in present [[Romania]] and [[Serbia]].

In 1004, scarcely 25 years after the introduction of Christianity into Kievan Rus (Ukraine), we hear of a priest Adrian teaching the same doctrines as the Bogomils. He was imprisoned by Leontius, Bishop of Kiev.

Although Bogomils regarded themselves as "Trinitarian", [[anathema]]s against Bogomils (circa 1027) charge Bogomils with rejection of the [[Trinity]] as being a pagan apostasy.

The growth of Bogomilism in Constantinople resulted, about 1100, in the trial and imprisonment of prominent Bogomils in the city and in the public burning of their leader, Basil.
Much may also be learned from the doctrines of the numerous ''variations'' of Bogomilism which spread in Medieval Kievan Rus' after the 11th century. Bogomil and Cathar heretics developed a number of myths that circulated in both eastern and western Europe.

In 1125, the Church in the south of Rus had to combat another heresiarch named Dmitri. The Church in Bulgaria also tried to extirpate Bogomilism. Several thousand went in the army of Alexios I Komnenos against the Norman, [[Robert Guiscard]]. Efforts were again put forth for their conversion; and for the converts the new city of Alexiopolis was built, opposite Philippopolis.
