A Study of fundamental importance for the understanding of the history of all Eastern Europe. In terms of the origins of the Rus, Paszkiewicz's basic thesis was as follows: Our considerations so far throw some light on the provenance of the Rus'. Since they were not Slavs and inhabited the northern lands, on the Baltic; since their journeyingâ"both warlike and commercialâ"embraced Eastern and Western Europe, only one conclusion can be reached, viz., that they were Norsemen. This work is divided into four parts, addressing eras or phases from the earliest times to the 'Rise of Moscow". There are a number of Appendices addressing such topics as The Geographical Meaning of the term "Rus", the Territory of the Ulichians, the Dulebian League, the Origins of Halicz, and the Ukrainian Nation.
