Tsar Peter saved us all from that.
Tsar Peter, descendant of Andrei Ivanovich Kobyla, a Rus or Varangian whose predecessors had come from Scandinavia to found Kiev as a waystation along their trade routes to the middle east.

Of course the Swedes founded the first Russian state...
One of my ancestors (Brian Boru) died fighting the Vikings in 1014, but for all I know I have some Viking ancestry on other lines... so I'm not going to take sides.
