Where did Russia go from?

100
Since the time of the notorious “perestroika”, historical science has turned into a field of political battles, which are often conducted not only by professional historians, but also by numerous “folk historians” who do not even have elementary knowledge. The purpose of information wars is to deform the consciousness of the nation, wreak havoc “in the fragile minds” of young Russians, overthrow national heroes and impose “new historical knowledge”.

Where did Russia go from?


It is no coincidence that several years ago, the outstanding Ukrainian historian academician Petr Tolochko absolutely rightly noted that “at the present time, when history has become largely the lot of amateurs, not burdened either by historical knowledge, or by the method of scientific criticism of sources, or by responsibility for said, overthrow of scientific authorities and textbook positions in historical science has become their most favorite occupation. "

Moreover, as Boris Mironov, a well-known contemporary historian, absolutely rightly noted, recently, on the basis of the modernist methodology, which replaced the “notorious” history, the scale reflection on the “special tragedy” and “bloody drama” of the Russian historical process has already grown, its “cycles”, endless “inversion turns”, etc.



At the same time, along with the well-known Western Russophobes of the type of Alexander Janov and Richard Pipes, homegrown russophobes, obviously suffering from the complex of the famous “noncommissioned officer widow”, hit this pseudoscientific game.

Suffice it to say that fluent Komsomol journalist Mr. A. Yanov, suddenly turning over the cordon to an authoritative professor of Russian history, in a number of primitive fakes - “Russia: at the root of the 1480 – 1584 tragedy” (2001), “Russia vs. Russia: 1825 – 1921 ”(2003),“ Russia and Europe ”(2007), abounding in a huge amount of factual errors, put forward an anti-scientific theory of the cyclical nature of Russian history.

The essence of this theoretical “masterpiece” that the backstage architect of “Gorbachev perestroika” and court academician Alexander Yakovlev so admired, is that the history of Russia is the history of the alternation of liberal and pro-Western reforms with reactionary and conservative nationalist counter-reforms. And these "historical cycles" over the past 500 years, this newly-born theorist counted as many 14 pieces.

In my book for teachers, which was published this fall, I was forced to repeatedly refer to numerous examples of this kind of “controversy”, which are quite consciously thrown into the scientific and especially near-scientific environment with one single purpose - to deform the consciousness of a nation, to sow chaos. in the fragile minds of the young Russians, overthrow the national heroes and impose, including at the school desk and in the university audience, “new historical knowledge”, which they succeeded in realizing on the territory of a dying Ukraine.

In order not to be unfounded, let us give some of the most vivid and characteristic examples of this kind of discussion, which have long gone beyond pure science and turned into an element of a broad social consciousness and ideological struggle on the historical front.

It is well known that since the end of the 1980s, in the face of the collapse of the communist system and the state of Marxist ideology, the alleged Soviet anti-Normanists left the trenches and began a desperate campaign to introduce their views into a wide public consciousness.

At the same time, according to the Normanists themselves, the "Ultranormanism of the Schlozer type" was adopted, which Professor Lev Klein and his ideological followers, irreconcilable fighters against "great-power chauvinism" and "Russian nationalism" began to implant.

Moreover, the pillars of modern Normanism chose a rigorous scientific controversy with their opponents to obscenely unleashed a tone that is replete with all sorts of, even obscene, insults and pasting labels of the most low-grade poshiba.

Moreover, it was modern Normanists who, not finding any new arguments, put forward the Jesuit thesis that the Norman problem does not exist at all, since it is precisely proved that the "Varangians" are Normans, and therefore a long time has come to this discussion. In other words, with their inherent modesty, they themselves hoisted the laurels of the victors and a priori reject any other opinion.

This cohort of the most active preachers of "European liberalism" was opposed and opposed by the school of Professor Apollo Kuzmin, his students, who with facts in their hands convincingly refuted many mossy "arguments" of their scientific and ideological opponents.

For nearly three hundred years, Normanists and anti-Normanists have argued among themselves on a whole range of problems, among which the most significant are:

1) the question of the ethnic nature of the Varangians and the origin of the princely dynasty and
2) the problem of the origin of the term "Rus".

In ancient Russian and foreign written sources there are completely different ideas about the origin and ethnicity of the Vikings. As established by Kuzmin, the largest specialist in the history of ancient Russian chronicling, in the Tale of Bygone Years alone there are three different and different versions of the origin of the Varangians.

So, Kiev chroniclers called “Varangians” all the inhabitants of the Volga-Baltic trade route. Novgorod chroniclers called the "Varangians" and a certain tribe, and all the Baltic tribes, highlighting especially the "Varangians-Rus". At the same time, both those and other chroniclers were understood by the name of the "Varangians" simply Pomorian, that is, the tribes that lived on the southeastern coast of the Baltic (Varyazhsky) Sea.

Nevertheless, for all Normanists, the Vikings are, without a doubt, the Norman-Vikings, that is, the inhabitants of ancient Scandinavia. And for the anti-Normanists, the Varangians are one of the Slavic, Baltic or Celtic, but long ago Slavicized tribes that lived on the southeast coast of the Baltic (Varangian) Sea. At the same time, there is an original hypothesis of Professor Lev Gumilev, that “Varangians” is only a term that means professional, and not ethnicity of its carriers to the military craft, but this version of the very popular now “Eurasian” is not taken into account by serious specialists. Although a number of modern Normanists (for example, Vladimir Petrukhin) also tried to present the Varangians as “mercenaries who swore an oath of allegiance,” but it is not clear who.

As proof of their correctness, modern anti-Normanists cite a number of rather weighty arguments of an archaeological, historical, and religious nature:

ARCHAEOLOGICAL ARGUMENTS


1) Among the burial grounds of druzhny kurgans in Kiev, Ladoga, Gnezdovo and other graveyards and cities to which L. Klein and Co. constantly refer, Scandinavian burials proper make up less than 1% of the total number of burials found.

Even a number of decent Normanists (Anatoly Kirpichnikov) had to admit that the famous chamber burial grounds, which, “with a light hand” by the famous Swedish archaeologist T. Arne, were declared Norman, turned out to be a very common form of burial throughout continental Europe, and not just Swedish Tags opened to them in the 1930's.

2) All Scandinavian burial grounds found are dated not earlier than the second floor. X century, that is, when the princes of the Rurik dynasty ruled the Old Russian state for at least several decades.

3) According to the data of the largest Soviet anthropologist, academician Tatyana Alekseeva, who studied in detail the craniological series of the Kiev and Gnezdovsky burial grounds, all the burials here are very different from the German anthropological type.

4) Among all the Scandinavian burial grounds no significant tombstones were found, which convincingly shows that the warriors buried in them could in no way constitute the ruling elite of ancient Russian society.

5) From the rather meager Scandinavian artifacts found on the territory of our country, it is rather difficult to determine how they turned out to be among the Eastern Slavs, either as a result of a trade exchange, or as military booty, or together with their owners, etc.

By the way, many foreign experts, in particular, the largest English archaeologist Peter Sawyer and the Norwegian researcher Anne Stalsberg, speak about this.

HISTORICAL ARGUMENTS


1) All the authors of the Byzantine chronicles have always distinguished the Vikings and the Normans as different ethnic groups.

2) Judging by written sources, the Varangians appeared in Russia and in Byzantium only at the beginning - middle of the ninth century, and the Normans recognized Russia and its southern neighbor not earlier than the second floor. X century, since the Scandinavian sagas do not know the earlier rulers of Byzantium and Ancient Russia than the Byzantine emperor John Tzimiskes (969 – 976) and the great Kiev Prince Vladimir the Holy (978 – 1015).

3) The Scandinavian sagas are well aware of the founder of the Norman dynasty Duke Rollon (860 – 932), who conquered Normandy and became a vassal of the French king Charles III the Simple (898 – 922).

However, they stubbornly remain silent about the “Norman” king Rurik (820 – 879), which causes legitimate surprise, because, according to our homegrown science fiction writers, he was the founder of a huge state in the lands of the Eastern Slavs.

4) Varygs, who came to the lands of the Eastern Slavs, were already (or always) Slavonic, as the cities of Novgorod, Ladoga, Izborsk, and others founded by them had Slavic etymology.

RELIGIOUS ARGUMENTS


1) Thanks to the work of many Soviet scientists (Boris Rybakov, Apollon Kuzmin, Vladimir Toporov, Oleg Trubachev, Alexander Ishutin) it is well known that all Russ, Slavs and Finns, who became the core of the ancient Russian people, had their own pantheons of the pagan gods of the Indo-European, Hittite, Iranian or actually Slavic and Finnish origin, which included Perun, Khoros, Veles, Svarog, Stribog, Dazhdbog, Mokosh and other deities.

However, none of the thirteen Scandinavian deities, including the supreme god Odin and his sons Thor, Vidar or Balder, in Slavic, Russian or Finnish theonymism has never existed and could not be by definition.

2) In numerous written sources of various origins, the term "Rus" is used in a highly contradictory and ambiguous manner. In some sources we will find direct indications that the Rus are the Varangians, in others their direct connection with the Slavs will be asserted, and in the third they are called the original ethnic community.

According to a fair opinion of all the same Professor Kuzmin, in the Tale of Bygone Years alone there are two different concepts of the beginning of Russia: Polyansko-Slavic, which was directly connected with Norik-Rugiland, and Varangian, oriented towards Baltic Russia. This circumstance was one of the main reasons for the split among past and present historians, archaeologists and linguists.

Some authors (Serafim Yushkov, Vladimir Petrukhin, Elena Melnikova, Ruslan Skrynnikov, Igor Danilevsky) believe that the term "Rus" was originally of a social nature and, apparently, was used to designate a specific social layer of the Ancient Russian state, most likely for the princely squad. .

At the same time, all orthodox Normanists, with the exception of Professor S. Yushkov, insist on the Scandinavian origin of this term, putting an equal sign between the concepts of "Rus" and "Norman squad", which they call "rowers" or "navigators". Moreover, a completely absurd hypothesis was advanced that this social term was later transformed into an ethnonym, which has never happened in all of human history.

Other historians, of which the absolute majority, believe that the term "Rus" bore a purely ethnic nature and under this name hid some kind of ethnos, tribe or tribal union. Supporters of this approach, in turn, are divided into several currents.


The funeral of a noble Rus. Hood Heinrich Semiradsky

Most foreign and Russian Normanists (T. Arne, Richard Pipes, Lev Klein, Alexander Kan, Gleb Lebedev) believe that the term "Rus" had a purely Scandinavian etymology and was derived from the Finnish word ruotsi, which means Sweden.

However, as the largest Russian linguist Academician Andrei Zaliznyak correctly noted, modern Normanists in their linguistic constructions are guided by the techniques of “amateur linguistics”, which builds its conclusions “on the random similarity of words”, do not take into account the fact that “the external similarity of two words (or two roots) in itself is not yet evidence of some historical connection between them. "

Moreover, the well-known German philologist Normanist Gottfried Schramm in his latest work Altrusslands Anfang (“Beginning of Ancient Russia”, 2002) called this interpretation of the term ruotsi “Achilles' heel of Normanism” and proposed throwing off this ballast, from which Norman theory would only benefit.

A number of major Russian scientists (Oleg Trubachev, Alexander Nazarenko) took a similar position, who, while remaining convinced Normanists, still put the interests of science above the clan interests of Lev Klein and Co.

Aware of all the flaws in their previous interpretation of the origin of the term "Rus", some researchers have hit the other extreme, trying to find the origins of this term in the territory of Sweden itself in the coastal province of Ruden (Roden) or Ruslagen (Roslagen).

However, as a number of Russian and Swedish scientists convincingly proved (Lidia Grotto, Karin Kalissendorf), modern Ruslagen appeared on a geographical map of the Swedish kingdom only in the XIII century, and until then this coastal area was still under water, since the level of the Baltic Sea in the area was then on 5 – 7 m above modern.

A number of major modern scholars, including among the Normanists themselves (Oleg Trubachev, Valentin Sedov), are searching for the origins of the term "Rus" either in Iranian, whose speakers were Scythians or Sarmatians, or even sees a common Indo-Aryan basis in it.

The largest Soviet-style anti-Normans (Boris Rybakov, Mikhail Tikhomirov, Arseny Nasonov, Henrik Lovmyansky) believed that the term "Rus" was local, of Slavic origin and under this name was hidden one of the East Slavic tribes that lived in the middle reaches of the Dnieper, on the banks of a small river Ros , as mentioned in the "Tale of Bygone Years" itself.


Academician Boris Rybakov

Later, this name became associated with the whole Polyansky tribal union, which stood at the origins of the ancient Russian statehood on the southern tip of the East Slavic lands. Other Soviet “anti-Normanists” (Peter Tretyakov) also tended toward the southern ancestral homeland of the Rus, but they were not related to Eastern Slavs, but to Chernyakhovtsy or their descendants. At the same time, these historians did not exclude the fact that these particular Ruses were somehow connected with the Germanic or Western Slavic tribes.

Finally, modern and true anti-Normanists (Apollon Kuzmin, Vyacheslav Fomin, Elena Galkina) believe that the origins of the term "Rus" should be sought among various ethnic "Rus" living at least on the territory of the Baltic, Dnieper, Podon, Danube and Black Sea Rus.
At the same time, at the time of the emergence of the Old Russian state, these Rus were already Slavicized long ago, although initially:

1) Glade-Rus - descendants of northern Illyrians who lived on the middle Danube, on the territory of Norik-Rugiland;

2) Vikings-Rus were one of the Celtic tribes that lived on the southern coast of the Baltic (Varyazhsky) Sea and the nearby islands (Rugen);
3) Alans-Rus were descendants of Iranian-speaking Roksolans, who acted as the bearers of the famous Saltovo-Mayatsky archaeological culture. By the end of the 9th century, the representatives of these three branches of the Rus formed the so-called Russian clan, who then composed the ruling elite of the Old Russian state.

Thus, the question of the origin of the term "Rus" is associated not so much with the "Norman" or "Varangian" problems, as with the so-called Khazar problem, where there are even more speculations and speculations than the Normanists.

At the end of the 19th century, the famous Kiev jurist Herman Barats in several of his articles made a sensational statement that The Tale of Bygone Years was a remake of the Khazar-Judean writing, and the first Russian princes were the Khazar Jews.

Then this topic faded into the background for a long time, but from the end of 1950 the active study of the archaeological monuments of the famous Saltovo-Mayatsky culture, which a number of then archaeologists, primarily Mikhail Artamonov and Svetlana Pletneva, began, was not quite appropriately attributed to the entire Khazar kaganate, artificially expanded the very territory of this state is enormous.

Although even then, within the framework of this archaeological culture, two local variants were clearly delineated: the forest-steppe, anthropologically represented by the dolichocephalic population, and the steppe with the brachycephalic population, which, in turn, also consisted of several territorial variants.

Even then, a number of prominent Soviet archaeologists, in particular, Ivan Lyapushkin and Dmitry Berezovets, put under serious doubt many of the conclusions of their Moscow colleagues and said that the forest-steppe version of the Saltovo-Mayak archeological culture belonged to the Alanian population of Don region, which had never been a part of the Khazar kaganate.

Soon these quite reasonable conclusions were supported by major Soviet historians (Boris Rybakov, Apollon Kuzmin), and at present this promising hypothesis has been further developed in the works of Doctor of Historical Sciences Elena Galkina, which identifies the Don Alanian version of the Saltov Mayan culture with the central part of the Russian Kaganate mentioned in Byzantine, Western, and Muslim written sources of the 8th – 9th centuries.
At the same time, the mock hypothesis about the prevailing influence of the huge Khazar Kaganate throughout Eastern Europe is currently being actively developed by homegrown Normanists, Israeli Zionists (N. Gotlib), and Ukrainian nationalists (Omelyan Pritsak), and even “Eurasian patriots” (Leo) Gumilev, Vadim Kozhinov), who really want to find among the founders of the Old Russian state not only Swedes, but also the Jewish Khazars.

In recent years, this issue has acquired not just a sharp, but extremely painful and relevant character for various political forces.

In particular, the “frostbitten” Zionists began to make claims to possessing the “original historical ancestral home” of the Jewish people, and our “Eurasian patriots”, not appreciating the very essence of these “scientific” discoveries, hit the other extreme and began to talk about a special period “ Khazar-Jewish yoke "in the history of ancient Russia.

      so, good article, good because it clearly shows what the Traditional History of TI is. TI and especially Russian history is a pseudoscience in which the evidence base is extremely weak and insufficient to prove the fundamental provisions of history, such as the "Norman theory".
      "Norman theory" is a false historical position, an ideological-informational weapon created by the Germans of Catherine Milerombaerschlozer in the era of the mythologization of Russian history, when Russian historical thought was simply suppressed by foreign domination. This was the time of the formation of the modern historical paradigm, and this article tells what modern history is. There are various historical schools, obvious Russophobes, even non-Russian names and all sorts of others with a "verified" scientific and political course that looks more like a marketan boat.
      "Scientific" substantiation of the problems of representatives of these historical schools is simply ridiculous, take the same Zaliznyak, in addition to the fact that he is a Russophobe - "the Russian people with a history is an extremist", so his "scientific" approaches resemble more arbitrariness and ad-libbing, which was analysis of his article on "professional and amateur linguistics". "Professional" linguistics from Zaliznyak is an ill-founded set of words based on as much logic as a shamanic spell from an African cannibal tribe, which did not prevent such "researchers" from receiving RAS awards ...

          Arctic fox "heard the ringing ..." how does TI "not consider Rurik an alien"? and who then considers Rurik a foreigner can Fomenko and Nosovsky? The academic science that creates history textbooks just considers Rurik to be a foreign Varangian from Scandinavia, and the fact that "some" like the opposition think that the concept of RUSSIA is not "ethnic" but "social", then such "confrontations" of opinions in TI they say once again that such "science" can never discover the truth, but only drive from empty to empty.
          And if you somehow noticed criticism of non-academic history, can you show where this article is located?
          The real researchers of history, Fomenko and Nosovsky, have long ago disassembled the falsity of the "Norman theory" according to the most important historical document of the Radziwill Chronicle and have established that the most basic sheets, i.e. the sheets where they talk about the Norman vocation and the sheet where they talk about the linking of the chronicle to the Scaligerian chronology ARE FORGED. That's the whole answer to the "Norman theory", which the author of the article did not notice, of course, but he is ready to procrastinate his "arguments" for as long as you like ...

To put it very briefly (and in details it will be difficult for me) "four-dimensional space" is a mathematical method necessary for simplicity of calculations and proofs of various theories dedicated to the universe, because in "three-dimensional calculus" they are not computable due to the impossibility on the scale of "three-dimensional algebra" to operate with infinite quantities is abstract and understandable if.

            but in general, it amazes me in historians that they insist inevitably insist on the order of occurrence of some names from others and not the other way around, it is an etymology, and in archeology a similar order is applied, as if something first appeared there (though that there wasn’t even a trace), and then they brought him here! and these archaeologists are not confused by history, “we found more from the Vikings on the Don territory than they find“ there ”!”

          The author criticizes the "newborn" historians a lot, but he himself writes little specifics, and his arguments look unusual, to put it mildly. Take at least this one:
          "4) The Varangians who came to the lands of the Eastern Slavs were already (or always) Slavonic, since the cities of Novgorod, Ladoga, Izborsk and others founded by them had a Slavic etymology."
          Those. The author believes that the Novgorodians founded the Vikings? Is it not Rurik personally?
          In general, the author’s desire to lead all historians into one line is not understandable, naturally assuming that his own line is the only true one. We went through something similar when all historical theories that diverged from school textbooks were considered heresy. That is why, after the opening of the iron curtain of history, there were many diverse, including pseudo-historical theories put forward by amateurs.
          But it must be understood that history is not an exact science. There are only theories, to one degree or another, reliable and supported by various, often mutually inconsistent, facts. For example, the author did not indicate which of the theories of the emergence of Russia, he considers reliable.

Drawing our attention to the unresolved issue and the use of this unresolved by various crooks - from professional lawyers of the Jewish-Khazars to famous mathematicians who imagine themselves as historians, cartographers, linguists, archaeologists, racologists and so on and so forth ... It is not known where Fomenko has such fertility with the company. It is necessary to give out so many volumes of "Chronology" in your age. Although it has long been noticed, the more compact a written work is, the higher the probability of its authenticity of authorship and scientific value. Walk through the works of scientists from Fibonacci to Einstein - make sure. Fomenko reminds me of Petrik, the great "scientist". True, with the difference that Fomenko is really a scientist, but with Petrik's claims to comprehensiveness. Those who disagree with me, I advise you to read the "Bible Code" by Michael Drosnin.

      No. This education in history is politics. In society, it is customary to confuse history as an academic science that is constantly developing, including revolutionary with the advent of new related sciences. While education, on the contrary, is more inertial and changes when the ideological background changes. In terms of knowledge itself, school education presents history as a science from the time of Klyuchevsky, new knowledge acquired by analyzing sources (starting with Tikhomirov) and genetic material, and even archaeological finds are practically not included in the course. At the same time, the view of development in general in education and the causes of events are of course marked as a weather vane for ideological reasons.
      There is a radio program "Homeland of Elephants", in which the topics that have been developed in academic science in recent years are considered, the study of such materials in the general education curriculum would knock out the ground for most falsifiers, but it is practically impossible under the conditions of the exam and almost impossible under the past tradition, for the need to simultaneously retrain all teachers when changing the program.

        The Vikings, later called "Normans" in France, i.e. "northerners" - not a people, not a culture. This is a phenomenon. Wandering gangs of Scandinavians who have not received an inheritance at home and are looking for good luck in a foreign land. They had no settlements (of their own). Their more successful relatives lived in the settlements, who were not very happy about their "prodigal brothers and did not consider themselves" Vikings ". That is," they could not pull up reinforcements either. When kings and a state appeared there, the Vikings were gone. The Viking's chance is to either return rich or settle in a foreign land. The Duke of Rollon was lucky. In Sicily, too, lucky. Could (theoretically!) Ride in Novgorod. And there was no influence on religion, language and way of the population! Too few of those (theoretically!) Aliens. And there could be no archaeological finds. About the tramp is best said in the pestne:
        "I'm in English boots,
        And in a Chinese shirt.
        In the Russian hat is big -
        And with an Indian soul.
        The Vikings were not artisans. And they dressed in what God sent. And armed - if not in the trophy, then made by the local master. If not only from home, but also from home, they raided lightly, without tzatsek-pecek.

        Here, the magazine Military History printed the Varangian from Constantinople.

        But that's all - little things and scales!
        No alien "Varangians" from either the West or the East can "plant" a state if society is not ready for it.
        And the whole debate is about the origin of the founder of the ancient dynasty. He has minimal interest (at the level: how many women did Tsar Peter have? And how many of them gave birth to?), But he swells up to a universal scale!

        Ah, the Vikings! They brought order to the cyto-snarls! Look, did the Britons bring order to Africa?

        Next.
        From here the conclusion suggests itself - the origin of Russia came from the continent, presumably from the mixing and interpenetration of the Scythians and the Baltic nationalities. IMHO


        Is Russia the people? or state? About the people - you must not forget the Finno-Ugric peoples, such as the Mordovians, and the steppe neighbors, but all this is based on the Slavs. With constant cultural mutual enrichment.

              Many words in human languages ​​are ambiguous. And not all of them are terms. The terms are characteristic of scientific and technical literature. For everyday speech, to which our correspondence should be referred, are characterized for the most part with the word, which in human languages ​​is ambiguous.

              The word "civilization" is usually used as an antonym to words denoting savagery and primitiveness.

              So do not cling, especially systemically. And pronounce incorrectly (index not mentioned). In Russian there is no such sound, but not a kid’s tongue.

              There was no way from the Vikings to the Greeks! It was just a line of transfer of Russian troops from one border to another. The lousy semi-cannibalistic Scandinavians had nothing to offer the Greeks (and even pay for transit at customs), and the latter were too busy at first with the homosexual and then the Oedipus complex to think and be able to try to expand (including trade) somewhere further than the latitude of Sochi. The mosquitoes immediately ate them behind the Danube in the first forest.

    At the same time, there is an original hypothesis of Professor Lev Gumilyov that “Varangians” is just a term... He has a version that Russia and the Slavs are two different people .. He bases his statement on Arab and Byzantine sources .. of that time .. Emperor Konstantin Bagryanorodny writes in his book “On State Administration” .. Having arrived at the fifth threshold , called in Russian Varouforos, and in Slavic, Vulniprag, because it forms a large backwater, and again crossing the odnoderevki along the bends of the river, as on the first and second threshold, they reach the sixth threshold, in Russian called Leanti, and -Slavic Veruti, which means "water boiling", and pass it in the same way. From it they sail to the seventh threshold, called Strukun in Russian, and Slavic Naprezi, which means “small threshold”, and they come to the so-called Krari crossing, where the Khersonites cross on the way from Russia, and the Pechenegs go to Kherson. This crossing is approximately equal in width to the hippodrome, and the height from its bottom ... This version is not being developed ... And not being checked ... there is one reason ... there is no archaeological evidence of the existence of such a people ... But the version deserves attention ...

      In this sense, I am amazed at how far-sighted E. Klassen was when he called our people Slavic-Russ, here what is called "ours and yours." Any scientific conference traditionally begins with the definition of terms. In this sense, the so-called "science of history" has not crawled out of children's pants, if it has not yet decided on the terms themselves. I myself adhere to the theory that the term "Slavs" of Latin origin comes from the word falcon, the image of which is accompanied by the image of the sun god Ra, Yara-Ra or Yaril according to the scheme: falconry - skloveni - Slavs, that is, the term solar in Latin, or according to our sun worshipers. The term Rus or Rus too clearly indicates the religious affiliation of our people as a people of sun worshipers. So it is more likely that these two words rus and glorious mean the same solar concept, just in slightly different languages.

    A very interesting and "topical" topic, I would like to start the answer to it with the recently mentioned quote by A. Toynbee.
    "In any backward society that needs to confront a militarily and economically stronger adversary, there are two trends:" Herodianism "- advocating copying foreign public institutions, and" Zealotism "- calling for isolation in order to preserve the traditional way of life. another trend cannot lead society to success, because both of them are devoid of creativity "
    And this is also precisely why the topic of “normanization” of Rus is one of the regularly emerging topics in difficult, critical times for us - it comes up when other institutions of our national pride and self-identification are questioned.
    But let's look at the topic more impartially - even if the "Normanists" are right (which I personally more than doubt) then "well, what's wrong with that" ?! request
    The history of all countries, from the Great (let's recall, for example, China) to "not so" (yes, the same Africa) knows the periods when both individual representatives and whole foreign dynasties were in power - and for some reason this does not bother anyone and does not hit the national Pride - this is a regular occurrence in human history!
    It first.
    Secondly: the presence of a foreign Dynasty is generally not sufficient evidence of any inferiority or backwardness of the autochthonous population - there may be 100500 reasons for this, from the crisis of the local Dynasty to the "short-term adoption of progressive experience" - THE MAIN THING IS ONE - any "alien" dynasty does not mean classical occupation and from the very first years begins assimilation - for example, our "Germans" and "Georgians" - Loyal patriots of Russia, who feel and identify themselves as Russians!
    Therefore, Lord Patriots, let us respect ourselves and our history and our ancestors more!
    Even if they chose Rurik and even if he was a "Swede" (I will remind you again - I doubt it very much), then he really was the best (let's fantasize for a minute that they invited Einstein to their place) and they are a wise and correct choice did - "thought rationally and not stereotyped" fellow
    Not a third and last thing: Russia as a State in its modern conception and the Russian people in its modern conception came nevertheless later - on the scale of our history, Rurik cannot be considered the first and most important representative of it, there were much more ambitious times and figures in our country. stories.

Due to the fact that on the shores of the Venetian Gulf, now the Baltic Sea, the Venets lived all the time, then on its rocky shores lived simply rocky Venets, otherwise s-vens.

          If you are positioning yourself as a patriot, have the courage and mind to love our dear Fatherland as it is given to us. With its wealth and poverty, genius and simplicity, which is worse than theft. With its great and controversial history. And do not nap, and do not invent all sorts of Hyperboreas! No need to tint the story! No need to improve it. History is not an award list with a list of exploits, although there are exploits. She is a storehouse of experience. The list of those rakes on which there is no trace to step on again ...

          And about the exploits. Eternal glory to the heroes. But their deeds are often the result of someone’s cowardice, laziness, theft, and even simply carelessness. And raising children on heroic examples, every effort should be made so that they do not have to perform feats. Even if they are ready for them!

And where is the humiliation in them? For example, I did not find, and you will not find. There is his book about the Battle of the Ice. Everything is very balanced, everything is based on annals. There are four of my books co-authored with him, about the Battle of Kalka, the Russian armies before Peter the Great, and the wars with Kazan and the Bulgars. That is, this is what is written for them, and printed by them. And there, believe me, there is also nothing to humiliate us! There are books by other Russian authors - the Ukrainian historian Chernenko about the Scythians, about the Seven Years' War, about the Civil War - there is nothing to humiliate us. And the British (and not only them, these books are translated into French, German, Spanish) read them, they get acquainted with our history. My 90 magazine publications in the magazines Military Histories, Military Wogamer, Battle Place, Military Modeling and others also did not contain statements that Russian savages drink vodka directly from the samovar!

        Is it bad? I think that the West is just a slave, occupied! Look: the term "Europe" itself is foreign, of Phoenician origin, that is, African. Everywhere, the Latin alphabet is used, specially created by the Etruscans for their Latin occupiers from Africa, while the Etruscans themselves previously used more developed alphabets, one of which is very close to our modern one, hence such a "cuttlefish" as the English writing based on the Latin alphabet, which linguists have long thrown out of the group of alphabetic-phonetic writing and thrown into the group of hierographic forms of writing. And what the Latin alphabet imposed on the Polish or Czech language gave is disgusting to read, one sound requires up to four Latin letters - and all this is the result of precisely the occupation and slavish submission to the "master" - the slave owner, more often of African origin. And I gave only two examples, but it all started with the gradual capture of Erutreya, Galia (Porusya according to ours) and further down the list, try to take a closer look at all this, the horror of what happened and is still happening now.

          Most of these "distortions" will dissipate over the years. So you really need to know the name of rower # 5 to starboard on the flagship of Agamemnon? And to know who exactly killed the Trojans the most? And how many mistresses did Prince Svyatoslav have? And what exactly was he killed?

          These little things are forgotten. They are not needed to understand History.

              and the pn transition acts as Losev discovered it.


              3.01.1922/10.05.1903/1947. OV Losev, an employee of the Nizhny Novgorod radio laboratory (1956/XNUMX/XNUMX) discovered the amplifying properties of a crystalline zincite detector. Based on this discovery, he designed a device consisting of a semiconductor crystal and two electrodes, which allows amplifying weak electrical signals, and named it "cristadin". By its properties and design, Losev's kristadin does not differ from a three-electrode semiconductor device, now called a transistor. For the re-invention in XNUMX of the transistor, the Nobel Prize was awarded in XNUMX to the American of Russian origin Ivan Bardin (John Bardin), who personally recognized Losev's priority in his Nobel speech. Today, transistors are produced in the world in quantities of trillions of copies, forming the basis of all modern electronics and form the basis of telephones, microwave ovens, radios, televisions, players, computers, cameras, irons, watches, printers, copiers, scanners, calculators, air conditioners, photocells, systems video surveillance, etc. to infinity.

              Laughing should not be over physics - it’s for her on the drum. The events of the last 200-300 years are not quite history. It is rather politics. Biographies of still living people, with their ambition, shame and envy. Because there are so many versions. And so many copies are broken.

              When I say "History", "over time," I mean centuries and millennia. Then all ambitions and envy will dry up and dry up. It is with that remainder that the historian can work. Like the War of the Roses in Aglia.

              But schoolchildren have to learn a lot, but the main thing is how to formulate the question yourself and where to find the answer to it. And then let yourself.

    History should not be pleasing to one state system, but not another. A simple example: singing the reign of Catherine the second, really great ruler of Russia, who has done a lot for our state, if not more - made strategic acquisitions for the country, we are descendants, we call the city by name we put monuments to him, or rather the state criminal of those years, I mean Emelyan Pugachev - it turns out that, logically, a monument to Basayev should be put up, only because he fought with the Yeltsin regime, which many of us curse for a lot.
    The country cannot be divided into before and after. Russia until the age of 17 is also a story, Nicholas II is also a story - maybe it is bad for many now, but what are the bad people who lived in his time, who fought and died for faith, the king and the fatherland, and why are these soldiers less patriotic than the Soviet ones who died with the words: for the Homeland For Stalin.
    For me personally, all Russian and Soviet historical figures, the historical situation of those years are interesting, but I am against extinction in the history books of portraits of government figures when they did not please the next ruler.

    and even “Eurasian patriots” (Lev Gumilyov, Vadim Kozhinov), who really want to find among the founders of the Old Russian state not only Swedes, but also Khazar Jews. Author Evgeny SPITSYN

    For this phrase, I minus an article by this author. The Judeo-Khazars were also paying tribute to the glades with swords, otherwise why would Svyatoslav burn Itil, occupy Sarkel (White Vezha), take Semender. Nowhere and never have the Eurasian patriots Lev Nikolayevich Gimilev and Vadim Valerianovich Kozhinov searched for the founders of Russian statehood among the Jews, among the Khazars and among the Judeo-Khazars. The author's taking in quotation marks of the definition of the Eurasian patriots regarding Gumilyov and Kozhinov is regarded as blasphemy over their memory.

      It was this author's pearl that pissed me off too. Where did the author discover this from Gumilyov? On the contrary, Gumilyov focuses on the uncompromising confrontation between the "Russian Kaganate" and the "Khazar Kaganate," in the terminology of Arabic sources.
      So it's not clear whether it is worth considering the article as "honey" with such a spoonful of "drma". However, it is clear who usually fires the "Eurasian patriots". Christianizers are leavened. They start with black hundreds against the "Judeo-Khazars", and end with "brothers in Christ", handing over to the Khazars with giblets.

    1) Glade-Rus - descendants of northern Illyrians who lived on the middle Danube, on the territory of Norik-Rugiland;

    2) Vikings-Rus were one of the Celtic tribes that lived on the southern coast of the Baltic (Varyazhsky) Sea and the nearby islands (Rugen);
    3) Alans-Rus were descendants of Iranian-speaking Roksolans, who acted as the bearers of the famous Saltovo-Mayatsky archaeological culture. By the end of the 9th century, the representatives of these three branches of the Rus formed the so-called Russian clan, who then composed the ruling elite of the Old Russian state.

    Thus, the question of the origin of the term "Rus" is associated not so much with the "Norman" or "Varangian" problems, as with the so-called Khazar problem, where there are even more speculations and speculations than the Normanists.


    ... who were the bearers of the famous Saltovo-Mayak archaeological culture

    Honestly, I have the greatest confidence in archaeological evidence - it is hardest to hide and harder to manipulate for the sake of political interests.

    Who was the bearer of the Saltovo-Mayak culture (traces of which extend over a vast territory)? Alans and Bulgarians. Scientists (Russian) distinguish them by the peculiarities of burials and the anthropological differences of the remains of the buried. Anyone who is interested in this topic knows about the famous treasure of the Bulgarian Kubrat (part of the treasure is in the Hermitage), and about the state of Ancient Great Bulgaria even before the Khazar state, and that the Bulgarians (about 60% of the population) and Alans entered the Khazar state , and the Khazars, and other nations. Judaism was accepted only by the ruling elite. There were Christians, Muslims, and Gentiles. Kubrat, by the way, was a Christian. Pottery and ancient settlements are very similar to those found on the territory of Bulgaria (Danube). Apparently, it may well be that the founders of the Old Russian state were precisely the representatives of the above peoples, because they had real states even before Kievan Rus, and archaeologists find numerous traces of their life near the places where Kievan Rus was subsequently formed. And some Russian scientists believe that the Bulgarians founded Kiev (at first as the Sambation fortress for defense against the Khazars when they fought with them). Google and look on this topic in YouTube - you can find out interesting things.

Russia went from Hyperborea - a large continent in the north, most of which has now been flooded for the last 12 thousand years, and only Greenland and the islands of the Arctic Ocean, which are the mountain peaks of this continent, are still available for observation and studying. Rus is a generalized name for the peoples who lived along the river beds and traded in trade and transport services "from the Varangians to the Greeks." The peoples were engaged in fishing, hunting, manufacturing weapons, breeding bees, weaving, and they were easy on their feet, because were not tied to arable land in connection with the zone of risky farming, except for meadows ...

    The fact that the Norman theory does not stand up to criticism is clear already by the fact that the "great and terrible" conqueror of Normandy, Duke Rollo, for some reason did not begin to conquer the lands near his side - a wealthy commercial Novgorod, to take control of the path promising great benefits from the Varangians to the Greeks (where it was possible to get rich for the protection of merchants) but the devil knows where, in the land, where then there was no smell of civilization. And all because the Slavs in Russia (which did not yet exist as a whole) were sufficiently organized and combat-ready to break into uninvited guests. And without looking at the fact that these are formidable Vikings, before whom Europe and England tremble. Moreover, there is historically reliable information about several punitive campaigns by Novgorodians and Slavs who lived on the Baltic coast to the very lair of Vikinkinism laughing and the ruin of their settlements in Sweden.
    And about the origin of the word "rus" ... Russia has always been a melting pot of peoples. She absorbed many peoples without a trace, dissolving almost without a trace. And in a non-violent way. And what's the difference, after all, where this name came from, from what language. The main thing is that "Russia" sounds proudly.

    Gentlemen, I have not bothered with this question for a long time - where did the Russian land come from. I read a bunch of literature and realized that for me it is violet, I am Russian because I am Russian. Even if it turns out genetically that I am a Turukhansk Australopithecus, I will consider myself a Russian, since I consider myself a bearer of the Russian idea, spirit, way of life. My ancestors left me a legacy of a strong, fully efficient state and my task is to do the same for posterity. But here a problem has already arisen and now it would be worth discussing. So, in order to direct the development of the state in the right direction, I can hardly skate through the Norman tribesmen, castes, groups, classes, individual individuals without a moment's hesitation and without bothering with unnecessary remorse. In order to exist, and even more so to break up in the modern world, from all Russian nations it is necessary to create a shock fist, a broom, where everything is together, and not on a twig. Where everyone is equal, successful, in demand .... All public institutions of the state must work for this idea, then the future is ours. It is time for homegrown "capitalism" to set conditions, or it becomes a "statist" and a Pitriot and puts forward and implements the idea of ​​the further development of the state. Or it’s enough to bang on your ears hanging noodles about your great role as an engine of progress - to demolish it along with the roof as unnecessary. And not figuratively, but naturally, so that there was no one to run around the Hague courts.

    Historical science is a very useful science. It can be very easily controlled and indicated where the truth is and where is not. This is not physics or mathematics for you. Historical science is not based on experiments or observations, but on historical materials (chronicles, memoirs, photographs, etc.), which makes it even more useful. Each such material can be viewed from a variety of points of view and draw completely different conclusions. And they will all look correct and logical. In addition, incorrect historical evidence that does not fit into the general line can be completely ignored. But historical science, meanwhile, is a very necessary and demanded science. If not for her, how would we have known that the Tatar-Mongol rule in Russia was a real "yoke", that is, "an enslaving force"? But when historians looked more closely at this period, it turned out that there was no yoke. And in general ... I don't even want to discuss the topic of this article, because history is a science.

    The Varangians (Vagirs) are one of the tribes of the Western Slavs, as well as many other Slavic tribes squeezed out of central Europe by German feudal lords under the leadership of papal Rome. They did not follow the example of the Western glades (Poles), Croats, Slovaks, Slovenes who converted to Catholicism, and found refuge in Russia. These refugees became the backbone of the new state of Russia. Although before them in Russia there were also state entities (Slavia, Artania, Kuyavia).
