The Rus were the first community in the Norse-Slavic dynasties to convert to Christianity, in its Eastern Orthodox form, and so they are at the heart of the concept of 'Holy Russia'. The author explores the important but often misunderstood and manipulated role played by the Vikings in the origins of Russian power, the deadly consequences of which we are still living with today
