History of the Russian people... How much do we know about her? We know about the baptism of Russia, about wars and the unification of principalities... Some may have heard about the Veles Book, which many modern scholars consider the most important source of information about the history of the Rus. Before the Veles Book was discovered, researchers relied on a completely different source, claiming that the Rus came to the north of Eastern Europe in 862 from Scandinavia. However, the "Veles Book" argues that the history of the Rus is at least ten centuries longer than previously thought. The mysterious chronicle has caused heated discussions between scientists, which continue to this day.
