The Reign of Prince Rurik – this time, shrouded in legends and mysteries. Still it is not known who was this legendary figure, who gave the Slavs the first ruling dynasty.

“the Tale of bygone years” tells that in 862 the Ilmen Slovenes (the tribes of Chud, Mary and villages), tired of the protracted civil wars for power, called a foreign ruler. They hoped that in this way will be able to conclude a long-awaited peace. Their request will be responded immediately three brothers-Truvor, Sineus and Rurik. The first of them settled in Izborsk, and the second – on a White lake, and the third – in Novgorod. After the death of the brothers all the power over their lands gathered in the hands of Rurik.the reign of Rurik

The Reign of Rurik associated with the hypothesis that the Northern Prince was not completely alien to the Slavs. Later sources say that he was a descendant of gostomysl, Prince of Novgorod-elders: his middle daughter Umila married one of the Varangian rulers. New Prince of Novgorod took his wife Afandou, came from a noble local family.

the reign of Prince RurikDuring the reign of Rurik of Novgorod rebelled. However, the Prince harshly repressed forces Vadim Brave, and he himself was executed. Many rebels, fearing the vengeance of the ruler, fled to Kiev. The chronicle also describes how two nobleman asked the Prince in a campaign (whether to the aid of Constantinople). Askold and dir, left Novgorod with their birth and squads, but the destination is not reached, and settled on the banks of the Dnieper. The reign of Rurik continued for another twelve years after these events. After the death of the ruler the power passed to his nearest relative, Oleg Prophetic, appointed guardian of minor Igor. He ran Askold and dir from the Golden-domed Kiev and proclaimed himself Grand Duke.

However, some historians believe that the reign of Rurik was not based on the calling of his nobles. Rather, he seized power in a military campaign, so the people of Novgorod revolted against him. Maybe the nobles didn't agree: some of them supported the Vikings, and part was against the stranger. It is also unknown who was the legendary Prince: the Baltic Slavs, a Finn or a Scandinavian.

The name of Rurik, are known in Europe from the fourth century. Some researchers believe that it occurs from the name of a Celtic tribe – whether rurikov, whether rurikov. In the eighth-ninth century on the Jutland Peninsula was ruled by princes of the same name. Sineus can be translated from the same Celtic language as “senior” Truvor means “third-born". Other historians believe Rurik Rerikom, the leader of the Vikings. Perhaps the story of the calling of the Varangians to the throne of Novgorod was included in the chronicle of much later, so there is so little detailed information.the reign of Rurik

However, despite a number of inaccuracies, the reign of Rurik in the territory of the Russian lands is a fact. It had important consequences for the Slavs, as approved by the ruling dynasty (Rurik), contributed to the development of Russia as a state, centralized power. The reign of Rurik, whose tribal symbol was the Trident (or gosubet) marked a new Chapter in the development of Kievan Rus, its Golden period, the apogee of which came in the reign of Yaroslav the Wise.
