The ancestors of Rus' in ancient literature. Utkin A.A.

The book turns to the interesting and least studied period of Russian history and considers the so -called Gothic theory of the origin of Rus'. Neither in Russia, on the border, the Gothic theory did not become the subject of such close attention, and the very origin of the term “Rus'” is still considered a mystery of ethnic onomastics. The literary and ethnographic material attracted by the author allows you to once again look at the fundamental question that the ancient Russian history posed to the researchers.

The book is addressed to historians, philologists and everyone interested in ancient culture and worldview.
