Varangians: the overseas guests
According to "The Tale of Bygone Years," the first Russian historical document, Slavonic tribes invited Varangians (which is the old name of the residents of Scandinavia) to govern their land. "Our country is big and rich, but there is no order. Come here and govern us as our Kings" (a quote from "The Tale of Bygone Years").Three brothers came to rule the land of Slavs. The older brother, Rurik, became the sole ruler of the Novgorod. The prince Sineus reigned over Belo Ozero ( Today the city is called Belozersk). And the younger brother, Truvor; governed Izborsk. These Varangians' lands were called Rus'. Hence, this is the origin of Russia and the etymology of the country's name.
