The False Rurik. What Historians Keep Silent About

The long-awaited NEW BOOK from the bestselling author of “10,000 Years of Russian History,” a book that has gone through 7 reissues and sold record-breaking print runs! A continuation of the debate with the “scientific” officialdom that distorts and slanders our past. All the truth about the legendary Prince Rurik, whom they call “the founder of the Russian state.” But in reality, Rurik didn’t come to “empty ground.” By the 9th century CE, Slavic civilization had been thriving for more than one thousand years already—long having formed a special way of life that fundamentally differed from the Western one and was built not on “law and order,” but on justice and will.

And Rurik wasn’t summoned to “rule over us”—he was simply hired as an “effective manager,” “neutral” in relation to all local clans, and therefore capable of safeguarding the interests of the whole people. Today’s “Westernizers,” worshipping European pseudo-“democracy,” do not want to understand the main thing: since time immemorial, in Rus’ power wasn’t “owned” by the people—it was the people’s hired servant. An unwanted ruler could not only be thrown out of the prince’s chambers with a kick in the butt, but could even be “torn apart like a mitten,” tied to two birch trees. Remember the execution of Prince Igor or the fate of Alexander Nevsky and his father, who were 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 the Rurik epic was not “the beginning of beginnings,” but merely a passing chapter of a thousand-year chronicle!
