DNA analysis showed who Rurik really was
The leading representative of the DNA genealogy, Doctor of Chemistry, Professor of Moscow State University and Harvard University Anatoly Klyosov in an exclusive interview with KM.RU spoke about how the latest genealogy achievements help to debunk the myths that blacken history Russia.
A large number of Scandinavians in Russia was not
- The Norman theory is divided into several stages of development. Its founders were German scientists Gerhard Miller and Augustus Schlozer. They wrote that the Slavs were not able to create their own state, and there were a lot of Scandinavians in Russia. It is noteworthy that the new supporters of this theory constantly increased the number of Varyags. Doctor of Historical Sciences Lev Samuil Klein wrote about 13% of the Scandinavians from the entire population of Russia, that professional historian Vyacheslav Fomin, having calculated that this should amount to half a million people, he laughed. And he was absolutely right. According to some scientists, the Scandinavians "crushed" the Slavs. And this gives individual subjects a reason to rant on the theme of "our primordial backwardness and lack of organization" ...
When I finally got the dogmas of the Norman theory, I decided to study it more closely, and it became clear to me that she had no clear reasons. In this theory, there is a huge number of contradictions, and all objections frankly "whistle." I drew attention to the haplotypes and haplogroups Scandinavians. They are marked with marks on a special map. So, these tags are going to the west - to the north of France and the British Isles.
I took the whole set of known haplotypes and found out that there is not a single descendant of Scandinavians from a thousand people in Ukraine and in Belarus. In Russia, I found two: one lives in Penza, the other - in Saratov. After all, there is no such thing that descendants could not stay even hundreds of years later! I concluded that there was no significant number of Scandinavians in Russia. In any case, they are not detected by DNA genealogy. At least in this moment the Norman theory is untenable.
Two thirds of Rurikovich are Southern Baltic Slavs
Further the genealogy of Rurikovich was investigated. They made DNA and it turned out that two thirds of Rurikovich are South Baltic Slavs (haplogroup N). The rest had a chromosomal haplogroup R1a, which is common in the population of Central and Eastern Europe. Rurikovich had a common ancestor. We did not find a trace of Scandinavians in the highest nobility and among the broad masses of the population.
One thing is obvious: Rurik is a Slav. Maybe he is a Polab Slav, maybe a Baltic, but he is a Slav. However, the question arises: why did we find two haplogroups at Rurikovich? We believe that during the reign of Vladimir Monomakh, someone "ran across the road." Most likely, Monomakh's wife cheated on her husband. Who would have thought that such circumstances could come to light in almost a thousand years! Despite the fact that we know that Rurik was a Slav, his social status and occupation are unknown to us.
In general, DNA analysis allows you to accurately determine paternity, although, I think that sometimes it is better not to know about such things. Recently, I came to my small homeland. There I met a very decent man. He is a farmer, he has two handsome sons. I suggested doing a DNA analysis. As a result, it turned out that he and his children have absolutely the same DNA, which means that he is definitely their father. Such analyzes are now one-touch solve the problem of adultery, and you decide yourself, are you ready to accept the truth if it turns out to be bitter ...
