Rus' Invasion: The Day the Viking Defenses Crumbled

[@russianindustrymediagroup6370]

why in this movie Rus of 9th century looked like mongols of 13th century. In real life military elite of Rus were scandinavian and looks like other vikings. Moreover, Rus is scandinavian word means oarsman. Oarsman on drakkar who became warriors in slavic tribes

[@starsajlonjim9598]

There was Hun invasion few cent before. Varjags mixed with Huns ,and SarMatians .Rurikards united all of them . They had inherited weapons armors and shields from SarMatians and Huns that's why they look like that.

[@russianindustrymediagroup6370]

@@starsajlonjim9598 Varjags lived 400 years after the Hun invasion. They did not mixed. At the time of Hun invasion to Europe, Slavs lived in Belorussian forests and Hun invasion did not affected them directly.

[@starsajlonjim9598]

@russianindustrymediagroup6370 Nope Varjags established Kiev and Many others on their eastern route .SarMatians were there too they had a kingdom.Huns fought and mixed with all.No artefacts of slavs are ever found, word slav is not mentioned anywhere.They use that term nowdays since end of 19 th and beginning of the 20 th cent for all people in present Russia and former eastern block. Russian colonials simply renamed everyone to slavs including Varjags Tevtons Huns Sar Matians of that time.

[@russianindustrymediagroup6370]

@@starsajlonjim9598 First of all Varyags did not established Kiev, They conquered capitol of Polyans. But if we accept you opinion - when Varyags did that and when Huns have passed through this territory and we will see this difference of 400 years that you unfortunately do not notice. No artefacts of Slavs been found? Use Google. Prague culture of 4th century and Polesye ceramic artefacts of 2nd century

[@JohnDoe-sw1rs]

Slavs aren’t Vikings of Nordic. Kievan Rus only had Swedish kings and nobility, Slavs made up their slaves and peasants. Rus only referred to the Swedish Vikings who used oar boats to row and conquer Eastern Europe easily.

you mean kings didn't wear crowns into wild melee combat with no attendants around? And medieval warriors didn't survive SPEARS THRU THE CHEST? That shit is deadly today. it could happen in the best trauma facility on Earth and their chance of survival would be small. you rarely survive have spears poke thru your heart and or lungs. ironsides or not

[@stefangustavsson8380]

This has never happen. Read history. The vikings is a very good movie serie. but not always historical. Björn järnsida (son of Ragnar Lodbrok) was a Swedish king and graverade there. Ivar and Ubbe was invaded Mercia 867-869. And then Ivar disappear from the history. probably stayed in Dublin where he own mark.Sigurd Ormiöga was the king of Norway and Denmark,and brother to Björn, Ivar, Ubbe,Halvdan, Vitsärk.

Sometimes they think about politics first. If the West helps Ukraine against Russia why should not we add Rus invasion in Viking series? In fact vikings or Normans were enslaving Slavs to have something to trade with Arab merchants in Black Sea. Later, they decided to collect taxes from local population providing ptotection in exchange. This was the foundation of Kiev Rus.

There were Slavic ' viking style' raids on Scandinavia, but those raids came from Western Slavs who inhabited southern shores of Baltic Sea. The most famous of these raids is the sack and destruction of Kuneghala by Pomeranians and Rugians. Edit: In the 1120s Pomeranian ships from Stettin (present-day Szczecin, Poland), from the southern coast of the Baltic Sea attacked the Danish coast. On 10 August 1135 Duke Ratibor assaulted the Norwegian towns. Konghelle, was captured and burnt to the ground by the forces of prince Ratibor, assisted by a fleet of 550 ships with cavalry on board (each carrying forty-four men and two horses). They laid the town to ruins, killed a large part of the population, and abducted most of the survivors as thralls to Szczecin. Snorri Sturluson, writing a century later, said that Konghelle never completely recovered

Bjorn Ironside was an Absolute Badass Viking. 1 vs1 with Bjorn was a Death Wish.

[@martinwiren3085]

The Rus' received their name from Ruotsi, the Finnish designa- tion for the Swedes in the mid-ninth century, which was derived from the name of the Swedish maritime district in Uppland, Roslagen, and its inhabitants, called Rosakarlar (< roar-a rowing or pulling). Important was that these Vikings were taken Kiev. Kiev was the Capital of " Russia" . Moskva got power 300 years later on, so technically the name of Russia and Russians heritage from a district north of Stockholm, named Roslagen..It is a beautiful area.

Author mixing "russish" and "ruthenian". Ruthenian was a Rus Kijovan. Moscow trying to take this name with a little other language... they make a Russia, we know them to this day.

[@starsajlonjim9598]

Rurikards are Varjags mixed with Asians and SarMatians. Rurik is First Varjag to unite the SarMatians . In English Varjags are called Vikings .Varjag comes from the word Var - to Boil ,they were boiling water and making Salt for trading .Tevtons were closely related relatives with Varjags ,Tevtons were also called GerManians Meaning Uper Motherlanders, similar to Sar Matians ,NorthMotherlanders.They were all related.Later they went different way.SarMatians became Bizanth RouMailian Kingsmen,While GerManians became Holy RouMaion Latin Kingsmen .Varjags joined GerManians Kingsmen much later through Vrankish ( French Varjags and GerManians) and Saxon Danelough ( todays England) . By Kingsmen they mean Christen and Crowned .The languages later evolved in different literature forms. Geneticly By DNA they are all similar.

I laughed heartily. Especially "Rurikards"! Did you come up with it yourself? Tell me honestly? If you learn history from movies, divisions may begin. Be kind.

[@Andriy-kb5dx]

This episode has never happened in history! It’s a fantasy of movie author. On 8-9 th centuries Kyiv Rus was just began its development and ruses had good relations with Scandinavia people and vikings. Russian is absolutely wrong name of Kyiv Rus people, their name was rusins. Kyiv Rus state captured colonies on the east between rivers Oka and Volga where lived Baltic tribes and Bulgarian and Turk tribes and central Kyiv rulers’ sons established towns and cities on the lands and ruled there, getting Kyiv throne by seniority or struggling for that. From 14-17 centuries on those lands arosed the nations of Ukrainians and Belorussians but Russians is an artificial name which Moscow ruler Peter 1 started. Anyway The most direct descendants of rusins now are Ukrainians. They still live on the land which changed names and now is Ukraine. Russians from Moscovia always and now wanted to get origin from Kyiv Rus but actually Moscovia as a state started from Golden Horde times. This small land got privilege from mongols to collect taxes from other former Kyiv Rus colonies and this made Moscow a central city on the territories, then after Golden Horde crush they started occupation the other lands around, getting more power, Only at the beginning of 18 century Peter 1 started his state name as Russia.

Didn't know russia even tried to occupy Norway, I guess beast was always hungry for new lands.

[@stolennimbus]

From Wiki: The Rus', also known as Russes, were a people in early medieval Eastern Europe. The scholarly consensus holds that they were originally Norsemen, mainly originating from present-day Sweden, who settled and ruled along the river-routes between the Baltic and the Black Seas from around the 8th to 11th centuries AD. I guess the Russ are the forefathers of Russians?

[@WillnichtRein]

The Rus are not the Russians. Rus means a mix of Slavic and Germanic people in what is today Ukraine and Belarus. The upper classes were more or less Germanic (norse) but got slavicized soon. Main town was Kyiv, yes that Kyiv from the news. The 'Russians' were a tiny part of this large group, their original name is Muscovites, referring to their main settlement. Later when the Mongols arrived and destroyed the Rus, the Muscovites betrayed the Rus and changed sides to the Mongols. This way they got stronger, and in the 17th century they even took over the name 'Rus'. That's why we mix up these two things today. The real Rus are the Ukrainians, the Belarusians and the long gone principality of Novgorod. (There are much more details to this but not enough place.)

[@sergsrg8026]

@@WillnichtRein An absolutely politically based lie. If you want to operate with mid-ages terms, there were no "Muscovia", as so called "historians" tells nowadays. This appears only in few polish maps during 15-17 centuries, also due to political reasons of that time. If you want to operate with 7-10 ages names, there we no Rus at all, only different tribes. On territorry of "so called Muscovia", lived 2 tribes: Vyatichi and Golyad, wich are 100% slavic tribes. Secondly Rus, as nation, was never meant as mix of Slavic and German people, if you look on maps in wiki for ex, you'll never find any German orgins in these tribes Kyiv was one of the most ancient towns of so-called territories, wich later was divided and united many times under name of Rus. With many other ancient towns and centres of slavic culture, Novgorod, Smolensk, Suzdal, Vladimir ect, each of whose was part of big territory united later under one state. The Russians were never a tiny part of large group, it was the main ethnic group on these territories. And finally don't mix nationality and citizenship. There are about 140 nations live in Russia, and only 1 of them are Russian. This is propably the only truth in your statement, that russians nowadays are minority in russia, and yes, ukrainians and byelorussians, are more common to what is called russian (in ethnic meaning)

[@WillnichtRein]

@@sergsrg8026 You are confusing german and germanic as a term. These are completely different things. That alone says enough about all your other assumptions.

@@WillnichtRein and in fact there is nothing to answer ? No real arguments with historical approvements (no fantasy books about Moscovites please)))?
