Original Note:
All 15 Rus signatories in the treaty had Norse/Finnish names and had nothing to do with Russia. At the time, “Rus” referred to the people living in current Ukraine, while Russia didn’t exist in any name or form - not even its precursor Muscovy, established in 1282. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rus%27–Byzantine_Treaty_(911) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Duchy_of_Moscow
