According to numerous western and eastern chronicles and other abundant evidence, it was the Scandinavians, Swedes in particular, who laid the foundation of the first Russian state on which the native Slavs have then raised a colossal superstructure that has developed into one of the greatest empires the world has ever seen. First published in 1877, this book by the eminent Danish philologist Vilhelm Thomsen (1842-1927) contains three lectures given by him at the Taylor Institution, Oxford, in May 1876.
