Aryan Roots of Rus. Ancestors of the Russians in the Ancient World.

This book will turn all your perceptions of the past upside down. It is a radical reassessment of the place and role of the Russian nation in the historical process. This is the true prehistory of Rus. The author traces... the ethnonym "Rus" "Ros" back to the name of the performers of religious hymns in the Aryan tradition, following the origins of the Russian people from the moment the Aryans separated from the Indo-European tribes in the 5th–4th millennia B.C. and fitting the ancient Russian history into the context of global development, starting from the era of Sumer and Ancient Egypt. The book examines in detail the genealogies of the Russian gods Baba Yaga, Yarila, Kolyada, Ivan, Marya, and others, as well as the mythological parallels that marked the routes of Aryan migration, along with many controversial issues concerning the formation of the Russian state, the prehistory of Kievan and Azov Rus, the Khazar problem, and the infamous "Norman theory." 5th edition
