Rurik was a Scandinavian. Oleg is a voivode, not a prince. Igor is the first real historical character. Rurik is a legend. Igor's son's name is Svyatoslav (Slavic name). The chronicle says that Oleg and his Varangians worshipped Perun and Veles. Not "Odin and Thor"... this is Perun and Veles. I can quote an ancient chronicle! It's not like Viking domination, is it? In the sequel. Modern archaeology considers Vikings in Russia as modest merchants who paid bribes to local Slavic and Finnish tribes for passage along the Volga. Links to near-scientific articles are a complete mess. The Finnish Swede should quote from the Swedish sagas how they ruled in Russia. She won't find such quotes. She'll find second-rate shit on the Internet.
