    The Muslim diplomat and traveller, Ahmad ibn Fadlan, who visited Volga Bulgaria in 922, described the Rus (Rusiyyah) in the terms strongly suggestive of the Norsemen:

    "I have never seen more perfect physical specimens, tall as date palms, blond and ruddy; they wear neither tunics nor caftans, but the men wear a garment which covers one side of the body and leaves a hand free."

  • 3 people are finnish.

  • @NordenHonor Hehe I dont think so :)

  • There are some angry little boys commmenting on this....am I the only one getting enough  pussy round here ?

  • Två frågor: Är det Wulfstan du använder som källa när du säger att Östra Gotland tillhörde Roden? Och vad heter musiken?

  • @Khomradeigor Ja och gruppen heter Wardruna :)

  • @BirkaViking Hur kan de vara Vikingar om de utvandrade österut? Är de inte Väringar isåfall?

  • @TheClarenceter Väringar var vikingar=Nordbor som tjänst gjorde som de Byzantianska kjesarnas livgarde och elite soldater.

    Dessa vikingar som framför allt kom ifrån dagens Sverige grundade också det första Ryssland.

  • @BirkaViking Hur kan Väringar vara vikingar om de for österut, grundade Rus och tjänstgjorde i Byzantiska riket?

  • @BirkaViking De härstammade ju alltså från Gotland, Öland, Bornholm och Åland.

  • @TheClarenceter Det finns faktist tom Runstenar som berättar om vikingar som deltagit i både österled och västerled.

    De som for öster ut kom framför allt ifrån Gotland, Uppland och i viss mån Södermanland.

    Men också en del Norrmän för öster ut också.

  • @TheClarenceter Alltså kortfattat. I västerled kallades dessa män för vikingar men i österled kallades de för Väringar alias Varangians.

  • @BirkaViking Det var det jag sade.

  • @TheClarenceter Nja inte rikigt va?

    Eller läste jag fel?

  • @TheClarenceter Ok då missade jag det?

  • Get over yourselves. Your country has 9.3 million people living in it, that's not even Tokyo. I'm 1/8th Swedish and am proud of my heritage but seriously, you still have a MONARCH and wasted taxpayer money on a stupid royal wedding. Jag vil leva Jag vill doe i Amerika! And so did my Swedish ancestors, the Hultmans. Don't even start with that "well it's a CONSTITUTIONAL monarchy" crap. It is still a place where a KING is BORN with rights supeior to others. That is bullshit. GOD KILL THE KING.

  • @horriehomepage ? What have your words with this video to do?

  • @horriehomepage Man fuck you Chinky Dink mother fucker - go sell some cabbage faggot !!!

  • @horriehomepage Yeah we were smart enough not to out breed the amount of available land, so UNLIKE JAPAN, we don't have to live in cubicles 50 floors straight up. Take your shit ideas and shove them up your ass. We have as much RIGHT to embrace our heritage as a fucking JAP does !!! Burn in hell shitrag !!!

  • @horriehomepage we want to keep our monarch as long as ever. its our very ancient form goverment and the only one we've had.

  • There was no such a term as slavs in the days past (it's quite later term and idea). The major part of Eurasia was dominated by one race - Rus-Aryans (including so-called slavs, vikings, varangians etc. whose y-dna are r1a and I) They shared common language, culture, religion, wich have become more different with time, but still are very similar.

  • @skystranger73 "common language, culture, religion"

    So accourding to you the slavs spoke a germanic language, worshiped Germanic gods e.t.c?

  • @joonte1010

    No, there was no "germanic lagnuage" or "germanic gods". All these terms are also of quite late origin, when the division of once-united race had already occurred.

  • @skystranger73 Vikings/Varangians spoke Old Norse, Worshiped Asatro, Or do you mean the ancient Germanic tribes?

  • @joonte1010 Both Varangians and the earlier Germanic tribes worshiped Asatro before they become Christans.

    Cheers

  • @BirkaViking Yes your right, I just dont understand what skystranger73 meant with hes comment.

  • @joonte1010 Yeah I dont understand either???

  • @BirkaViking The idea that Sweden is ancient homeland of Rus people is very debatable. I would suggest you to look and videos of RealSarmatian here on youtube. He combining data from anthropological and genetic researches about origins of Indo-Europeans.

  • @Gjalpinulva Also a Rus chieftains viking ship burial was very well described by the Arab traveler Ahmad ibn Fadlan who visited Kievan Rus in the 10th century.

    Then also the Rus Vikings trades with the Arabs. So now days Sweden has more Arabic coins from the viking age then the Arabs has found them self.

    Whats I mean with the silver is that the Rus vikings took home the treasure to now a days Sweden in tonnes during the viking age.

  • @Gjalpinulva So its very easy to track the Varangian Rus to now days Sweden. Its only follow the traces after them.

    Cheers

  • @BirkaViking

    All that you say is described very good in school books. But what is not described there is the fact, that rus tribes came to Scandinavia from the continent (modern Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Poland etc.) when the last ice period had come to an end, not vice versa. So the homelands of modern swedes are located in the lands i mentioned above.

  • @skystranger73 Sure all Europeans came from the east from the beginning. Thats why Europeans languages are Indo-Euroepan languages. The first Rus came actually to Ladoga area already in the early 700ad. The findings match with the arceheologic findings in the middle of now days Sweden.

    The first culture thats has been found in Sweden is the Bromme culture around 10 000bc.

  • @skystranger73 The Bromme culture is named after a settlement at Bromme on western Zealand, and it is known from several settlements in Denmark and Schleswig-Holstein. In Sweden, it is known from the country's earliest known settlement at Segebro, near Malmö.

  • @BirkaViking

    Taking it into account it's not seem odd that people of continent rus and rus tribes of scandinavia had very similar names, customs, culture etc. And it accounts for why they had such close relations that one could invite another to rule or something.

  • @skystranger73 The Romans first mentioned the the Germanic tribes and all the Germanic tribes worshiped Asatro.

    All Germanic languages are thought to be descended from a hypothetical Proto-Germanic, united by subjection to the sound shifts of Grimm's law and Verner's law.

    The biggest Germanic languages are English and German.

    Cheers

  • @skystranger73 Your statement is debatable. The word SLAV is derived from the word SLOVITI, which means "to understand each other". What this means is that during Roman times and in the period immediately after the fall of Rome, ALL Slavs could understand each other, as they spoke the same language. The Slavic word for Germanic tribes was NIYEMTSI, which means "those that cannot be understood" (the word is derived from the word NEMI, ie. "those that cannot speak the Slavic language".).

  • @MrLeo751 I know about it. But "during Roman times and in the period immediately after the fall of Rome" means that it was like ~ 2000 years ago = not so long ago in the scale of history. So, when i say "quite later term" i mean approximately this period. To make it more clear - at certain historical period there were no "niyemtsi" (except people of other races), there were only "slavs", because all rus-aryans could understand each other.

  • Thank you BirkaViking for video ... Thrue!!!

  • @lashagiorgi85 No its no lies and its Viking archaeology. Why do you comment on subjects you have no clue about??

  • @BirkaViking About lashagiorgi85. He is young brainwashed retard from Georgia who hate everything Russian. Just ignore him.

  • @Gjalpinulva The Varangian Rus drained the east at Silver that silver can be found at now days Sweden in tonnes and nowhere else. So its very easy to track them to now days Sweden.

    Then the Rus varangians also all had Scandinavian names.

    They mixed with the Slavic and Baltic and Finnish tribes after only 2-4 generations as you can see in the Rus rulers names that become more and more slavic after that.

    Cheers

  • @BirkaViking Not sure I understand what you trying to say about silver.

    For the names its true that some Rus provinces invited Varangians to rule them. But it doesn't mean Rus descended from Varangians. Its only means that Rus considered Varangians as very close relatives and trusted them.

  • @Gjalpinulva Well the Rus Varangians was vikings from now days Sweden. The only tribe ever called Rus inform of Rhos was the Svear tribe (Swedes).

    One of the earliest written sources mentioning the people called Rus in the form of Rhos dates back to year 839 AD in a Royal Frankish chronicle Annales Bertiniani, identified as a Germanic tribe called Swedes by the Frankish authorities. The same year those viking Rhos served in the Byzantines army according the Byzantines sources.

  • True!

  • For a ripping Norse/Saxon story, try Sigurd's Saga on YouTube.

  • Intressant video.

    /historiker, sthlm universitet

  • @TinyArts Man tackar :)

  • Swedish wikings go to east in russia, the wikings from denmark and norway go to west to iceland/ england and sooner south

  • @olovsweden Well the Swedish tribes went west also, You can look at my England runestones video there almost all runestones that tell about travels to England are located in now days Sweden.

  • @BirkaViking Oh, i didnt know that, we was never learn that here, intressting,

    Well, we got a little westcoust too so i can understand that. I should look at your videos, thanks

  • Many russians who was warprisoners here in sweden stayed and get married with swedish woman when they got released, the swedish prisoners in russia did the same ive heard.

    Swedes and russian are relatives in most part because of that! Thats good!

  • Many Rus still live in the Presov area of the Republic of Slovakia. They've been there over a thousand years.

  • One of the earliest written sources mentioning the people called Rus in the form of Rhos dates back to year 839 AD in a Royal Frankish chronicle Annales Bertiniani, identified as a Germanic tribe called Swedes by the Frankish authorities. According to the Kievan Rus' Primary Chronicle compiled in about 1113 AD, the Rus were a group of Varangians, Norsemen, who had relocated from Scandinavia, first to Northeastern Europe, then to the south where they created the medieval Kievan state.

  • yes but culturally the 'Rus' are russia... they became the noble, ruling classes... rus just generic name for swedish viking tribes which during the age of viking expansion all over europe(beginning with lindesfarne late 700's), dominated reaching causacus, arabia and even eygpt - they smashed the khazarian empire on route, these people responsible for cultural russia, capitol was petragrad(st.petersberg) not moscow - the slavs and the moscovans were the irrelevent ruled peoples - that the truth

  • See historcal facts, Old Rus' is not modern Russia! Name of territory Rus' is synonimus for modern Ukraine. Modern Russia was known as Muscovy until 18th century ...

  • @TheCossackmate Russia has its name after the Rus kingdom, but as you said Ukraine and Belarus was also in the Rus kingdom.

    The Rus Varangians came first to the Ladoga area already in the 700ad there they have found Nordic settlements from that time.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • @BirkaViking In the middle of Slovakia are people they call Rus. My grandfather came from there.

  • @norb1937 Well the Rus Varangians from now a days Sweden settled the whole eastern route. I will soon make runestone video about these men.

    Cheers

  • @TheCossackmate

    See the historical nebulosis and idiotisms from Ukraine ! In Ukraine today, they teach people soome very strange history !

    First Rus Viking settlement were stationed in Novgorod, Ladoga, Staraja Russsija...etc. The Vikings came to Kiev years latter, after they found routes to Byzantium.

    And kingdom of Novgorod was the most important town of Rus Vikings !

  • Ucraine is virtual country its dosnt exist

  • Oleg, Igor, Lena, Anna, Olga etc.. very ubiquitous names in Russia

  • Wow I can't believe I never actually visited Gotland - everywhere I read about it , it seems that most of the viking memories found today are there. I should definately write Gotland into my travel plan book ;) Very nice video, I liked the soundtrack.

  • @hsmissviking Thanks that you liked the video and the music.

    The highest concentration of runestones in the world you have in Uppland over 1300 runestones then second Södermanland around 400 runestones here in Sweden.

  • @hsmissviking  Gotland is a very nice place to visit and specially in the summer:)

  • Yes, I agree about these names Oleg / Helgi & Igor / Ingvar you mentioned. But in 2-3 generation after Rurik we can see other names like Vladimir, Yaroslav, Yaropolk, Svyatopolk...etc...etc This shows Vikings were quickly assimilated by Slavs. Btw, legend of vocation Varangians shows how princes tried to prove that they are not conquerors, but legitimate rulers in Kievan Rus.

  • @AtollRu Yes they quickly changed their mother tongue and also became orthodox Christians pretty fast even thought some of them continued to practice Slavic and Germanic paganism for some time. In general this was the case pretty much everywhere the vikings settled.

  • Analysis male Y chromosome Russians and Swedes are not very close only on 40-45%, but the female line mtDNA Russians and Swedes almost 100% similar, even more Russians in female line more closer to the Swedes than Norwegians nearest neighbors Swedes  is very surprising

  • @TheGeorgianmongoloid For us who now very little about Haplogroups and such what does this mean exactly?

  • @TheGeorgianmongoloid the russian make R1a is very close to those of Norwegians

  • BirkaViking yes but most of the Russian lists can nest between the Vikings and the Slavs, although there is a purely Russian Scandinavian Slavic appearance and clean but most evenly Combining

  • birkaVikind Varangian Guard who served in the Byzantine Empire was in the majority of the Rus Sweden at that time was already a separate power

  • zxzxzxz72: Well of course the the Rus had their own princes and kings but they had really good connections with their ancient homelands (now a days Sweden). This can you see in the enormous treasures from the east that has been found in Sweden.

    Cheers

  • @BirkaViking According to Ynglinga saga "ancient homelands" of now a days Sweden are located in Russia (lands to the north of the Black Sea were called the Great Sweden and to the east - Asia, the capital of Aesirs was Asgard) and from there ancestors of modern scandinavians leaded by Odin came to Scandinavia.

  • BirkavikingYes but the story begins not only with religion but also signs of the emergence of powers Russia's history starts with the 862 years as you said that the history of Sweden is not known if that approximately 900-1000 years

  • zxzxzxz72: As I have said earlier noone knows for sure when Sweden was founded, and there are not so good sources of this becouse the area of now adays Sweden was not Christan at that time and it was the monks who wrote down everything. And if Russia is older then Sweden well then its older then Sweden but it was the Varangian Rus from Sweden who founded the Rus kingdom in the east.

  • zxzxzxz72: You must also understand that Scandinavia was very over populated already before and during the viking age because of a much warmer climate. So people migrated both to the east, west and south to find new lands.

    Cheers

  • BirkaViking I have not watched your video but then I look, I know that Russia had the Vikings from Sweden I'm just saying that Tacitus is mentioned on svear as the tribes they had no civilization and who th the Vikings during their stay here in 10 century is already perceived as chuhie addition Varangian way 75% of the goods remained in Russia leash 25% were in Scandinavia

  • zxzxzxz72 :Tacitus wrote in AD 98 in Germania 44, 45 that the Suiones were a powerful tribe (distinguished not merely for their arms and men, but for their powerful fleets) with ships that had a prow in both ends (longships).

  • zxzxzxz72 : Then I dont understand what you mean with Varangian way 75% of the goods remained in Russia leash 25% were in Scandinavia ?

    Sweden was the last country in Scandinavia who become Christian. The old religion was around here at 1100-1200 ad and at some places even in the 1300ad .

    Cheers

  • BirkaVikingWell if so then the history of Russia and six thousand years or five because of territory to Russia about the outward signs of Tripolye folk though it is possible to talk about the Scythians, the Scythians the same mentioned by Roman historians

  • zxzxzxz72 : I dont get what you mean? Just becouse it lived people there before has nothing to do with the foundation of Russia. Russia has its name after the Rus vikings.

    And have you watch the videos?

  • Yes svear were only tribes but the story begins with the emergence of the first real Swedish king was erik6 when in fact he was the first as well as karl12 actually was 6 History of Sweden starts with a mid-10 century

  • zxzxzxz72 : Erik6?

    As I said earlier no one can say for sure when Sweden was founded, beocuse as I said earlier the Svear tribe was already mentioned in Tacitus's Germania and they had kings for sure.

    Watch the videos I sent you.

    You can see in the names of the Rus rulers that they mixed with the slavic tribes after 2-4 generations.

    Cheers

  • translator helps Russia appeared a hundred years before Sweden and the history of rus-byzantin war belongs to the history of Russia and not to Sweden

  • zxzxzxz72: Well first you must know that Sweden has its name after the Svear tribe and for the second nobody knows for sure how old Sweden are. The svear tribe are mention already in Tacitus's Germania. Then the Rus vikings migrated to the east already before the viking age to the area around lake Ladoga.

    And there are easy to see the Scandinavian names in the founders of the first Russia.

    I can send you some videos about this subject.

    Cheers

  • .they have there own republics,language.if u search pro russian language u will find that we use ruhnes.even pro slavik gods was the nords gods.i apologise for my english but i hope u will understand me

  • .....absolutely true ur video,we Russians become from Swedish tribes. congrats for ur video....))))))

  • nordpolarius: Hi there yeah the Rus vikings orginated from now a days Sweden.

    Cheers

  • @BirkaViking Im sure many danes also ventured there. they seemed to raid all over the place.

  • seamuspowers: Yes it could have been some Danes who went east also. If you look at how many vikings from now a days Sweden who went to west to England with the Danes maby you become surprised. Almost all runestones who tell about journeys to England are in now a days Sweden. You can look at my England runestones video to see that.

    Cheers

  • let's be clear, the rus vikings did come from sweden, but you're making it sound like the russian people come sweden. the swedish vikings that came merely established a government in modern-day russia and united the savic and finno-urgic tribes that already lived there and made up most of the population. that's why russia's name comes from the rus vikings (since they established the government), but the russian culture is slavic/finno-urgic (since thats the majority of the population).

  • @rvoro,varyags established the first russian state.that was the born date of russia and russian ethnicity.of course they were balto slavs and all together become nowdays russia.but how u connect us with finns urgics?they have nothing common with us?i suppose u mean finland estonia hungary and other nationalities in urals.but they are not russians and even now they are different nation even in russian federation

  • @nordpolarius, well russia is a state, a state does not consist of a single race of people. to be russian means you were born in the borders of russia, but that says nothing about your race/heritage. russia is made of many nationalities (as are most countries), not just slavs. like it or not, no person is 100% slavic or 100% finno-urgic or 100% german, people have always mixed. in the case of russia, it is mostly slavic culturally, but there are also some finnic elements to our culture.

  • @rvoro The Rus Varangians was Swedish who mixed with the Slavic people after 3-4 generations as you can see in Rus rulers names that become more and more slavic after that.

    Then there are actually no one that knows how many Rus Varangians that settled in their Rus kingdom but it should be very many because Scandinavia was very over populated already before and during the viking age.

  • Comment removed

  • @rvoro u are wrong.its another to be russian citizen and another russian nationality.as u already said in russian as well in any country lives many different people and they may have the citizenship of the country they live.but as u already should know our heritage and roots are from varyags and if u search in our past u will find it out.i suggest u to visit novgorod,pskov ,(staraja rus) and other cities around there.they are all old russians cities

  • @rvoro u are wrong.its another to be russian citizen and another russian nationality.as u already said in russian as well in any country lives many different people and they may have the citizenship of the country they live.but as u already should know our heritage and roots are from varyags and if u search in our past u will find it out.i suggest u to visit novgorod,pskov ,(staraja rus) and other cities around there.they are all old russians cities

  • rvoro : It was a very big migration before and during the viking age from Scandinavia both to the east, west and south becouse of much warmer climate. So its very naive of you to think that the Rus was only a few.

  • Thats some interesting stuff, though I would be carefull of calling Gotland the most richest place on earth ;)

  • There was no Mitochondrial DNA(mtdna) name "swedes" Actually,most European women share similar mtdna,not only just swedes and russian.

    Even basque mtdna are similar to scandinavian too.

    if you look at Y-DNA(male chromosome) there r different between swedes(most I1a) and east european(most R1a) and don't forget that viking is a group of men.

  • zdgdxgfbcv: Well it was not only men who settled down in the west and east from Scandinavia. It was a big over population in Scandinavia already earlier then the vikings age.

  • What? What means "There was no Mitochondrial DNA(mtdna)"? At Russian similarity on 9 from 11 haplogroups. And ANY MORE At ONE EUROPEAN PEOPLE of SUCH SIMILARITY is NOT PRESENT. You, what the German? The German it - bullshit, the false Aryan. Elite of white race - the Scandinavian people.

  • The Varagians and the swedish vikings came all the way down to Syria.

  • The Varangians where also Swedes, Well mostly Swedes, But also some Norwegians and Icelanders from times to time.

  • yes i know.

  • @turbofritz2 The Varangians WHERE Swedish vikings! They where the high guard of emperor Constantine of Byzantium! Known for thier brutal warfare and feared warriors!

  • Comment removed

  • @VendPrekmurec I dont know who the Vardi you talk about were, but the Rus Varangians from Sweden mixed with the slavic tribes in the east after 3-4 generations. This can you see in the Rus rulers names that become more slavic after that.

    Cheers

  • @BirkaViking VAR is pure Vendic / Slavic / Venetic / (V)antic / Sabic/ Savic /Shivait word and it means "heavenly" (SVAR, SVARGA, SVARA. ...and it means "heaven, the old "pagan" temples were Svarge... the verb "VARITI ", Svarit, Varit, Var, Svar means "to boil" - and Svasti means to "shine" (Mandala)

    RUS means 1. Ris (lynx )

    2. Rasa (race), - verb "RASTI" (to grow up)

    when in sweden does not mean anything

  • @BirkaViking the tribes of old Vends in Skandinavia, Germany, Britain, France were simply wiped out (above 20 million) - slaughtered - by Goths (later Germans) with Byzantine (Sahendrin) armies.. .so was created Christian western hisTORy

  • @BirkaViking again i hope you will understand - history if full of mistakes, nationalistic nonsenses, Jesuit sources - you do not realize that old Slavs had their own faith which was based on Slavic VEDA (they did not knew any Anti Brahmanic / Abrahamic, Afro-Semitic - "Patriarchy" society, but were women equal to men! - Karantanian / Venetic Democratic law called "Institutio Sclavenica" ) when A'Brahamic religion was based on OPPOSITE Torah/ Bible.

    Yahwists were our very very OLD enemies

  • @BirkaViking religion was / is still very strong player of the history ...

  • @VendPrekmurec There are Arabic, Frankish and Byzantine sources about this subject, then we have our runestones here in Sweden that tell about the journeys to now a days Russia, Ukraine, Greece = now days Turkey and also to the Arabic world.

    Then on top of that we have the enormous treasures from the east here from the viking age that the Rus Varangians took home to now a days Sweden. Now days Sweden was among the richest places on earth during the viking age.

  • @turbofritz2 It is mentioned in the video!

  • Birkaviking, dina videos är lovvärda, och du verkar relativt kunnig. Men din engelska lämnar lite övrigt att önska, och det är ibland svårt att följa vad du vill få fram med vissa videos, då texten är ganska "spretig" (förklarar gärna hur jag menar). Jag är arkeolog specialicerad på yngre järnålder förresten, så känn dig fri att kontakta mig om du vill ha hjälp med något eller undrar något.

  • strifelord: Man tackar, jo jag har märkt att jag bommade lite engelska här och där.

    Försökte att göra den här videon så lätt som möjlig att hänga med i, och försöka synka den till musiken.

    Ja dig har jag gärna kontakt med framöver.

  • Great vid=) i recomend to read the sagas about Harald Hardråde there it stands much about the wars the varangians had under his leadership, were they took castles and land for the empire.

  • land and Castles the Varangians took from the very first beginning aswell. There should have been a text about the varangians made by greeces instead, which covered them throughout their whole time. And not only for a small period.

  • It is difficult as the only real source about them were theyre actions are described in detail is the sagas about harald hardraada and his period in the guard. But i agree that it shuld be put into the documentaries of the vikings. The problem is that there is so much sagas about the vikings that they can`t take everything.

  • Well, Snorre was hired by the Norwegians. And wrote allmost mainly about them.

  • Bra video Birka,
