However, most “certificated” specialists never saw the original historical docu-
ments and got their “certificates” repeating someone's “learned opinion” which no
one has proved to anyone and has not even considered it necessary to do so. But their
favourite “classics” – Bayer, Müller and C° – were just “highly educated profession-
als” for whom knowledge of the Russian language was optional. All certificated his-
torians based their works on the history created by these “professionals”, as if on the
Holy Scripture; any deviation from which is regarded as revolt. The most striking
thing here is that those who assert this are absolutely right. The reconstruction of the
truth about the past of Russia–Russea will bring to light the great Vedic past of our
1
Motherland, which they tried to destroy during the Last Night of Svarog . Well, they
were not even able to make a decent fake, without serious contradictions and blanks.

According to the “official” version, the Slavonic-Russian state Kievan Russia
(or Rus) appeared in the 9 to 10 centuries at once, in a ready form, with its statute-
th
th
book, a pretty sophisticated state hierarchy and a system of beliefs and myths.
“Official” history explains this very simply. “Wild” Slavs-Ruses invited the
2
prince Rurik the Varangian, allegedly a Swede, to rule. However, the historians
completely forgot that in Sweden there was no organized state then, but there were
only Jarls’ brigades who were engaged in the armed robbery of their neighbours and
were more reminiscent of gangs which acknowledged only one law – the law of
force.

Besides, Rurik had nothing to do with the Swedes (who, by the way, were called
the Vikings, not Varangians), but was a prince of the Venedas (or Veneti) and be-
longed to the caste of Varangians – professional Warriors who studied the art of
fighting from their childhood. Rurik was invited to reign according to the then exist-
ing Slavonic tradition which was – to choose as a ruler the most deserving Slavonic
prince at the Veche (a popular assembly). This kind of invitation usually was tempo-
rary and only in the matter of special services for the good of the people; the rule of a
prince could be lifelong, but never inherited. I would like to draw your attention to
the fact that there were two branches of power – a civil authority and a military one
which initially were equivalent; that is, one authority did not submit to the other.

These branches of power served as a counterbalance to each other, preventing
3
one from dominating over the other. In times of peace a civil prince (kniaz ) acquired

enters with the rotation of our Galaxy and which create a negative evolutional warp.
2 Rurik or Riurik (830–879) was a Varangian chieftain who gained control of Ladoga in 862, built the Holmgard
settlement near Novgorod, and founded the Rurik Dynasty which ruled Russia until the 17th century.

3 Kniaz or knyaz is a word denoting a nobility rank. It is usually translated into English as either Prince or Duke,
although the correspondence is not exact. The meaning of the term changed over the course of history. Initially the term
was used to denote the chieftain of a tribe. Later, with the development of feudal statehood, it become the title of a ruler
of a state among East Slavs (kniazhestvo traditionally translated as duchy or principality), for example, of Kievan Rus.
As the degree of centralization grew, the ruler acquired the title Velikii Kniaz (translated as Grand Prince or
Grand duke). He ruled a Velikoe Knyazhestvo (Grand Duchy), while a ruler of its vassal constituent (udel, udelnoe knia-
zhestvo or volost – a region, province or district) was called udelny kniaz or simply kniaz.
When Kievan Rus became fragmented in the 13th century, the title Kniaz continued to be used in Ruthenian
