Sure. So you can ofc show me where that ruskiye tribe lived then?hruza said:Yes they were. "Ruskiye" in the Primary Chronicle.
Yeah but we were talking about influence in early Rus statehruza said:Slavs always lived neighboring Iranian and Turkic people. Khazars, Sarmathians, Scithians, Allans and others.
And they were assimilated in new unique culture under Rus rule and influencehruza said:Drevlyans or Polyans were Slavic tribes
He already had word konung, from which derived title knyaz later on. So there is no need in usage of word kagan.hruza said:Of course he did. And his ethnic origin have no influence over it. Kagan is a political title, it have no ethnicity. It's name is however Turkic and Russian princes adopted it from Khazars.
Mhm. And that was already done by Angles in British Isles as i've stated beforehruza said:Yes, they can migrate using ships. Because there was no land connection between Russia and Sweden back then. Each of which could take 30 men on average.
What do you mean by that? Rus are originally from Scandinavia. Place called Roslagenhruza said:Rus did not start to colonize anything. Scandinavians did.
Yeah more than century prior to Rurik's arrival. They founded and settled town of Ladoga, which was made first capital of Rus state by Rurik later on.hruza said:And the oldest Scandinavian archaeological finds in Russia date to around 750 AD. They also show no presence of massive migration. Most of them were trading posts.
Reading devblog, I made a conclusion that Sturgia is based on pre christian Rus state of 9 - 10 centuries, in which finno ugorian tribes were still playing important role. If you were imaging some later period and now are upset, so that's your problemhruza said:Nope, it's not. From Devblog:
"The Sturgians are based on the federation of city-states known as Kievan Rus, located in today's Russia, Belarus and Ukraine."
It's based on the Russian state at it's largest extend.
So what? 2 different cultures. Anglo-Saxons were assimilated in Englishmen same way slavic tribes were assimilated in new unique culture under Rus rule.hruza said:English is modern word derived from word "Angle". Anglo-Saxons could not assimilate in to Angles, they already were Angles. Hence Anglo-Saxons.
@Jurgen
Can't imagine what you didn't understand. Retinue of varangian warlords should be varangian based. Simple as that.
And Helgi is obviously Norse name that was localised in Oleg. Not other way around
