The False Rurik: What Historians Are Silent About

The long-awaited NEW BOOK from the author of the bestseller “10,000 Years of Russian History,” which survived 7 reprints and sold in record-breaking numbers! A continuation of the debate with the “scientific” officialdom that distorts and blackens our past. The whole truth about the legendary prince Rurik, whom they call “the founder of the Russian state.” But in reality, Rurik did not come to “nothing” — by the 9th century BCE, Slavic civilization had been flourishing for already more than one millennium, long having formed a special way of life that fundamentally differed from the West and was based not on “law and order,” but on justice and will.

And Rurik was not “summoned to rule us” — he was simply hired as an “effective manager,” “equidistant” from all local clans, which means capable of safeguarding the interests of the whole people. Today’s “Westernizers,” who worship Europe’s pseudo-“democracy,” don’t want to understand the main thing: from time immemorial, power in Rus’ was not “in possession of the people,” but served them as a hired worker. An unwanted ruler could be not only kicked out of the princely chambers, but even “torn apart like a rag,” tied to two birches. Recall the execution of Prince Igor or the fate of Aleksandr Nevsky and his father, whom repeatedly expelled from Novgorod! The same would have happened to Prince Rurik — if he hadn’t earned the trust of the Slavs…

By refuting Western myths and Russophobic slander, this book restores the true history of our people, in which Rurik’s epic was not “the beginning of beginnings,” but only a passing chapter in the thousand-year chronicle!
