You probably aware that the name "Russia" comes from the Rus who invaded during the first milennia. They were Vikings.

"You probably aware that the name "Russia" comes from the Rus who invaded during the first milennia." I think I knew that, sure sounds familiar.

Stopped off in Constantanople to extort some tribute, and ended up being converted to Orthodox Christianity. When the Byzantine Empire fell they assumed the mantle of heirs to the Roman Empire. Hence the Czar (Ceasar).
