Fiamo Scarlette Ukraine (frontier) at that time was in the north-east, Kiev was the capital of the Russian land. Why did the Eastern Slavs start calling themselves Russians? Because this is the result of the work of the Orthodox Church in which Russian and Orthodox are synonymous. For the same reason, the Transcarpathian Croats were called Rusyns, because they are Orthodox. Although the Rurik people did not get to them.

@Artur_M. In fact, Rus (Ros) was called by foreigners. Rus as the name of the state appeared with the title "Tsar of All Rus" after copying from "Patriarch of All Rus." by the way, the modern name Russia is also a Latinized name from the Romans.

The fact is that Kievan Rus is a historical term of the 19th century. The country was called Ruska land. And rus is the prince's warrior.

The Turks, on the contrary, are older than the Slavs. They existed even under the Indo-Europeans. The fact is that the Turks began to migrate later than the Indo-Europeans and therefore they almost retained their phenotype, culture and language.

@Timesobserver_Xenia Русские в древнее время это были дружинники, боевой люд. Скорее всего они были в большинстве случаев скандинавами, само слово рус или рос это гребец (что было почетно у варягов). Русский и славянин это были разными вещами, это можно убедиться по той же Русской правде.

I think Helgi was Rurik's personal sorcerer. He was called "prophetic" and nowhere is there an explanation why.

@explosivereactionstv7414 Sure. We don't even know very well what happened in the 20th century.

@abrvalg321 I believe more that he was killed by the Muslims in Persia - Khazaria. In general, the snake is a symbol in Christianity not only of Satan, but also of Jesus (Nehushtan). His death was rewritten to prove that supernatural forces can not save a person from the Christian god.
