Starting to study the question indicated by the title of the work, its author concerns linguistics. The main opponents of southern non-Norman Russia, in his opinion, remain linguists belonging to the Indo-European school. He learned the instructions of yafetidologists that the name Rus is hidden in the name of the Etruscan rivers. Another indication of Japhetidologists that the names of the peoples hide the names of the ancient totems of these peoples was perceived by the author as confirmation of the views that had developed even before acquaintance with Japhetic theory.
