Special thanks to Vera but I still liked the answers of Sergey and Nikita too. I know where Nikita is comming from (I understand Nikita) with regard to "modern" vs "logical" and "logical" might be a better word but it's hard to tell. Other people giving confirmations, however, didn't seem to have a problem with it.

Thanks again to all of you!

The only problem with this phrase is the word \"modern\" which sounds tricky in Russian in this context. I would suggest to translate \"modern continuation\" here as \"логическое продолжение\" (logicheskoe prodolzhenie - logical continuation).

Arnold Toynbee schital, chto Rossiya byla logicheskim prodolzheniem Vizantii.

Thanks for your explanation
