What about the documentary
In an effort to find the legendary truth, the author of the tape covered many thousands of kilometers. And all this with one single purpose: to understand the origins of the Russian state.

Trying to answer all these important questions, Zadornov opens the veil over many other secrets, which were not allowed to expose for many, many centuries of the existence of Russia. Who are the Russians? The Varangians were not Scandinavians at all.
