In the concluding chapter, the author formulates a number of conclusions and observations arising from his analysis of the historical material. The author notes that Justinian pursued a clear and consistent policy towards the anti-Chalcedo-nians, the program of which had been developed at the beginning of his reign. Emperor's policy was closely connected with the problems and challenges, which
Church had witnessed during the previous epoch in the 5th century. The author emphasizes that the policy of Justinian had not only ecclesiastical and theological dimension: with his measures Justinian was constructing a uniform and compulsive ideological framework for the existence of a reunified Roman Empire, in which the religion and the Church represented very important social factors. At the same time, the renunciation of violence and repression, which had been characteristic for previous reigns, was an important feature of his policy. One of the unintended, but the important results of Justinian's policy proved to be the survival of the anti-Chalcedonian movement and its later transformation into a number of nowadays' Eastern Churches.
