"The true history of the Varangian Rus is more interesting than any fiction," says the author of this vividly written book. This is the most daring book in the Slavic theme. The author is not just fond of historical reconstruction. He himself lives according to the code of honor of the ancient Slavic and is able to set sail on a Varangian boat for new discoveries. A professional athlete, psychologist and historian, he understands the little things of Slavic life up to the techniques of the battle of the 10th century! Still - having studied all the information, it was he who created the combat system "Slavic-Goritsky struggle," widely known in the world as the "united Russian style." With the audacity of the pioneer, he proves that the very Varangians whom our ancestors urged from Novgorod to own them and establish order were not at all Scandinavian Vikings, but... Slavs!
