The study of the first Russian historian of Byzantium, one of the founders of the Imperial Orthodox Palestinian Society, Professor V.G. Vasilievsky (1838–1899), represents a serious attempt to shed light on the questions of the origin of the term "Varangians".... Considering this relevant and contemporary subject, the scholar refers to numerous testimonies from Byzantine chronicles, Slavic annals, and Scandinavian sagas. It was Vasilievsky's work that sparked a heated debate and drew public attention to the important topic of Russian-Byzantine relations.
