Christianity came to the Nordic lands via the Christian women who were enslaved and forced into marriages with Chieftans or Tribal leaders and brought back to the homeland. They passed on the Bible and teachings to their offspring.

A conservationist in Ukraine discovered an ancient cave complex with Viking carvings behind an abandoned house.
Dmytro Perov, a conservationist at the Center for Urban Development in Kyiv, grew up hearing stories about an ancient cave somewhere on the estate of his great-great-grandmother and her family, he told Life Pravda in a Nov. 7 interview. Perov knew the location of the three-story manor — now a dilapidated, abandoned house — in central Kyiv.
Perov decided to investigate, he told Live Pravda. He went with a few friends to try and find the cave. After searching for half a day, the group finally found a hole hidden behind a crumbling wall of the abandoned house.

Whoops! Thanks Pontiac!
Probably an ancient Super Bowl trophy, the last ones the Vikings won lol
The house was not really abandoned; the Russians chased out the occupants and maybe killed them.
Back when they were protesting (and then fighting) during the “revolution” in Keiv about 8(?) years ago I noticed the statue in the town square. “Why - those guys look like Vikings!”.
So I stated doing some research - and yes they were. The Vikings invaded what at the time was a bunch of various tribes. The Vikings got them under control and got them into a type of government together rather than fighting iirc. I think the Vikings did it in a fairly civil manner, establishing laws but also adopting local customs, etc. The Vikings are considered the Founders of Ukraine.
