More Information
0:27 I am showing the Huns, FinnoUgric Tribes, Avars and Bulgars, even though there where many more tribes that where in the area at one point or another.
2:12 The Volga Bulgars and Magyars where also vassals of the Khazars at this point.
2:53 The map of different Slavic tribes may well be inaccurate because we have only the Novgorod writings to work with and therefor we can't really pinpoint an exact map of all the different Slavic ethnic groups and where they lived. We just know they existed.
3:53 You may also find some writings where confused authors would use the word Rus' and Varangians interchangeably.
4:04 I actually meant to say crucible steel not Damascus steel as the ulfberht swords never actually where true crucible steel. They where sometimes considered as pattern welded "false Damascus" steel which is a form of crucible steel but isn't actually true Damascus steel.
8:34 It also may have been that Rurik was just a descended of one of the many Varangian chieftains that existed in the area, who than manage to conquer all the other smaller chieftains.
9:00 However he most likely conquered most of the Rus' northern lands before his death.
9:15 I show the Khazars having full control of the area between the years 882 to 912 but this wasn't completely true as the nomadic tribe that would replace them later the Pechenegs already had established a hold on the Khazar Northern lands.
9:19 Oleg also set off on few raiding expeditions and also allegedly besieged Constantinople.
9:41 There are many more interpretations of when Oleg lived, died and what happened during that time but this one seemed to most likely to me.
9:52 And also in to the Khazar lands.
10:12 Laws regarding to collecting tributes, most likely connected to the fact that her husband died while doing that.
10:34 The Pechenegs allied with the Rus' and helped them conquer the Khazars and that is why they where able to establish them self in the lower Ukraine region after the Khazar destruction.
12:25 Vladimir actually conquered Kiev from which Yaropolk ran away. It was while on this run Vladimir killed his brother.
13:09 As told to us through the primary chronicle so whether he actually said it or not we may never no.
