Step back in time with Medieval Rus: From the Calling of the Varangians to the Adoption of Christianity, a compelling new book by military historian and reenactor Klim Zhukov, with a foreword by Dmitry “Goblin” Puchkov. This work tackles one of the most fascinating questions in Russian history: the origins of the Slavs.
Drawing on linguistic, archaeological, and written records, Zhukov reconstructs the material culture, religious beliefs, and daily life of early Slavic tribes. He explores how Slavic tribes settled across the region before the formation of the Old Russian state. The book examines key turning points, including the creation of the Slavic alphabet—an event of greater unifying significance than the adoption of Christianity itself—and the much-debated “Varangian question.”
How did ancient chronicles and modern historians answer these riddles? Zhukov brings clarity to the murky centuries of early Rus, from the legendary invitation of the Varangians to the monumental shift toward Christianity. At 708.00 RUR, this is an essential read for anyone fascinated by the deep roots of Slavic civilization, presented with a modern, accessible edge.
