Mavro Orbini (book "Slavic Kingdom") writes:
The pagan chronicle of the sorcerer Yagilo Gap / Yagailo Gan (from the works of Ioakim Korsunian, decoding by V. Lazarevich) reads: “Under Father Ora, the Slavic clan [Trypillians] was one … and his sons were divided in two, like the Borusichi.” In total, there were three great tribes: Ruskolan, Antes and Borus. All “we are Slavs”. There were very few Polyans who joined the Huns at the turn of the 4th-5th centuries (after the defeat of the Huns), and the Rus merged with them gave them their army, princes and their name - Rus. “… we were of the same blood: the Scythians [Tavro-Scythians], Antes, Rus [Ruskolan], Boruses, dissolved in two, and the Surozhs … the Ilurians were absorbed by us [assimilated] … Few of the Ilirians remained, now called the Ilmertsy, because they settled near the lake, and the former Wends went far to the west … the Ilmer people stayed there … and call themselves glades … And so we became Rus from our grandfathers."
Fyodor Moroshkin (1804-1857, the book "The Meaning of the Name of Russov and Slavyan") writes: "… Here I presented the research that I made about Russia under its own name, and deduced that:
a) besides our Russia, there was German Russia in Pomerania, western Poland, Prussia and on the shores of the German Sea, from the mouth of the Elbe to the Rhine, and to the northern limits of present-day France.
b) Russia was Moravian, according to the Russian Chronicles and the Statute of the English King William the Conqueror (in the XI century), who calls it "Regnum Rugorum, sev melius Russia".
c) there was the Russia of the Danube, in the land of Ravrakov, or the Black Forest, inhabited by blond Runets during the time of the Roman poet Lucan.
d) there was Adriatic Russia, namely, where the land of Raguzin is now."
All these Russians have been destroyed by the West. Physically destroyed, the remnants of the population - assimilated. And this is hidden. About the part of "German Russia" - see the chapter "Polabian Slavs of the Baltic" of this book.

Slavic Russenia and campaigns of the 5th-7th centuries …
"Historians" are deafly silent about the ancient Slavs of Eastern Europe, who lived there since the conquests of the Scythians-Sarmatians, coming from the vast expanses of Eurasia. The study of the migration of humanity and genetics (the so-called R1a group) gave an unambiguous conclusion - Europe was settled from the east (see the book by Alexander Peresvet). The vast Slavic world stretched from the Laba (Elbe) and Donnaya (Danube) to the Urals and from the Varangian (Baltic) to the Russian (Red / Black) Sea. Ancient historian Jordan (author of "History of the Goths") in the VI century. wrote: “From the headwaters of the Vistula River on immeasurable spaces a populous tribe of Vinids was founded. Although their names now change depending on the different tribes and localities, they are mainly called sklavins and antes. Sklavins live from the city of Novietun and the lake, which is called Mursiansky, to Danastr, and in the north to the Vistula; anty,the bravest of them, living on the bend of Pontus, stretch from Danastra to Danapre. " The Slavs lived in a tribal system. A feature of the development of the Slavic tribes was the absence of debt slavery; only prisoners of war were slaves, and even they had the opportunity to redeem themselves or become equal members of the community. It was patriarchal slavery, which, among the Slavs, did NOT turn into a slave system. Mauritius (Flavius Tiberius Maurice, 539-602, Byzantine emperor 582-602) writes: "They can in no way be persuaded to slavery or submission in their country." In Byzantium, the Slavs in the service were not divided by clan-tribes, calling all the Ruts (Rusyns, Rus), and their territory - Ruthenia (Rutenia, Rusinia, Russenia, Rus). According to one version, this is due to the fact that the Slavs-mercenaries were usually from the southern Baltic,from the island of Ruscia and its environs.
There is the famous map of Eusebius (270-338), discovered in the writings of Blessed Jerome by the historian Konrad Miller. It is difficult to read the map - the handwriting is illegible and many letters have swam, and some are made in Slavic syllabic runes. The map was translated by V. A. Chudinov.
Fragments of the map contain many inscriptions, including: "Types of Rus Zhivinova" ("Images of the Slavic Lands"), "Sea Varyag" ("Varangian Sea"), "Rus Slavan" ("Europe of the Slavs"). The current Pskov region is marked on the map of Eusebius as "with policies", that is, WITH CITIES. We repeat - by 330 A. D. The Pskov region had a number of large cities. Eusebius shows the existence of at least 9 Slavic ethnic groups in the considered part of Europe. “The Russian Slavs from all foreigners are called Muscovites. They remained in their dwellings, while their other comrades and relatives came out and went, some to the German Sea, and others to the Danube … The ancients called them Roksolans, Tossolans, Trusolans, Rutnals, Russians and Rutenes, now they are called Russians, that is, scattered,since the word “Russia” in Russian or Slavic language means dispersion …”(Mavro Orbini, book“Slavic Kingdom”). Russia of the Slavs existed even during the time of the ancient Greeks and occupied the space from the Baltic to the Black Sea. “… Russian Slavs from all foreigners are called Muscovites. They remained in their dwellings, while their other comrades and relatives came out and went, some to the German Sea, and others to the Danube … The ancients called them Roksolans, Tossolans, Trusolans, Rutnals, Russians and Rutenes, now they are called Russians, that is, scattered, since the word "Russia" in Russian or Slavic language means scattering … "(Mavro Orbini, book" Slavic Kingdom ").“… Russian Slavs from all foreigners are called Muscovites.

Slavic tribes in the VI century. led a sedentary lifestyle, which is confirmed by the nature of their occupations and the organization of settlements, which were usually located in forests, swamps, in the middle of rivers and lakes. These were settlements, consisting of dugouts with many exits, so that in case of an attack, one could hide through one of the emergency passages. Pile structures were built in the middle of rivers and lakes. So the settlements of the Slavic tribes were reliably sheltered and difficult to access, and therefore there was no need for the construction of defensive structures of the fortress type. There were ancient settlements in the southern Baltic. The main occupations of the Slavic tribes were agriculture (barley, millet) and cattle breeding, as indicated by Mauritius (539-602, Byzantine emperor and historian), and Procopius of Caesarea (500-565, Byzantine historian,secretary of the commander Belisarius) and which is confirmed by archaeological data.
According to Procopius, "these tribes, Sklavins and Antes, are not ruled by one person, but since ancient times they have lived in the rule of the people, and therefore happiness and unhappiness in life is considered a common thing for them." Veche (meeting of a clan or tribe) was the highest authority. The elder in the clan (headman, master) was in charge of the affairs of the clan. Already at the end of the 5th century, more or less significant associations of Slavic tribes began to arise to repel enemy attacks or organize campaigns within the Eastern Roman Empire. The wars contributed to the consolidation of the power of the military leader, who turned into a prince who had his own squad. Ancient authors mention the names of Slavic leaders and princes. So, for example, Jordan noted in the IV century. defeat of the leader of the ants Bozha with his sons and 70 elders. The social structure of the Slavs in the VI century. was a military democracy,the organs of which were a veche or a meeting of tribes, a council of elders and a prince - a military leader. The prince had his own squad.
All sources speak of the Slavs as a warlike people. The Byzantine emperor Mauritius (539-602, ruled 582-602) writes: "They are numerous, hardy, easily endure heat, cold, rain, nakedness, lack of food." The Arab writer Abu-Obeid-Al-Bekri notes in his writings that if the Slavs, this powerful and terrible people, were not divided into many generations and clans, no one in the world could have resisted them. The main weapon of the Slavs was a steel sword. According to Ibn-Fodlan, the swords of the Slavs were wide, with wavy stripes on the blade. In the Eastern Roman Empire under Justinian, mounted Slavic detachments were in the service, in particular, the Slavs served in the cavalry of Belisarius. The cavalry commander was Ant Dobrogost. Describing the campaign of 589, Theophylact Simokatt reports: “Having jumped off their horses, the Slavs decided to take a break,and also give some rest to your horses."
The ancient Slavs knew how to make "monoxyls" - one-tree boats, on which they went down the rivers to the Pontus [Black Sea]. On boats, Slavic warriors appeared near Korsun in the Crimea, near Constantinople and even in Crete in the Mediterranean Sea. The Trans-Danubian campaigns of the Slavs to the lands of Byzantium are well documented, and the first information dates back to the end of the 5th century AD:
in 499. the Slavs invaded Thrace. They were opposed by the master of the East Roman army with a 15,000-strong army and a train of 520 carts. The battle took place on the Tsutra river. The master's army was defeated. The details of this battle have not reached us, it is only known that the master lost four thousand people killed and drowned.
in 517. large forces of the Slavs with significant cavalry invaded the Eastern Roman Empire, passed through Macedonia and Thessaly, reached Thermopylae; in the west they penetrated Old Epirus. Almost the entire Balkan Peninsula was in the hands of the Slavs.
in 547. the army of the Slavs crossed the river Istra and captured all Illyria up to Epidamnes. “Even many fortifications that were here and in the past seemed strong, since no one defended them, the Slavs managed to take …” (Byzantine chronicler).
in 551. a detachment of Slavs numbering more than 3 thousand people, without encountering any opposition, crossed the river Istr. Then, after crossing the river Gevr (Maritsa), the army was divided into two groups (1.7 thousand and 1.3 thousand). The Roman military leader, who had great forces, decided to take advantage of this advantage and destroy scattered troops in open battle. But the Slavs preempted the Romans and defeated them with a surprise attack from two directions. Following this, 6 thousand regular cavalry under the command of Asbad (he had previously served in the bodyguard detachment of Emperor Justinian) was thrown against the equestrian detachment of 1.3 thousand Slavs, which was utterly defeated. Further, the divided detachments of the Slavs began to siege the fortresses in Thrace and Illyria. Procopius gives rather detailed information about the capture of the strong seaside fortress Toper by the Slavs,located on the Thracian coast 12 days' journey from Byzantium. In this fortress there was a fairly strong garrison and up to 15 thousand combat-ready men, but 1,300 Slavs took the fortress.
PS this campaign of the 6th century and the capture of the large city of Toper by the Slavs are reflected in fiction (Valentin Ivanov, the novel "Primordial Rus");
- 552g. a large army of Slavs forced Istria and invaded Thrace. A Roman army was defeated near Adrianople, which was five days' journey from Byzantium.
- in 584. The Slavs approached Constantinople, even broke through the “Long Walls” (the so-called “Wall of Anastasia”, built in 512, its length is 420 stadia - about 80 km) and in front of everyone carried out a terrible massacre on the outskirts. With great difficulty, the Byzantines managed to drive off the Slavs.
- in 586. Slavic detachments appeared again near Adrianople.
- in 597. the Slavs laid siege to the city of Thessaloniki. Bishop John described the siege technique of the Slavs and actions: siege machines consisted of stone throwing weapons, "turtles", iron rams and pitons. The stone throwers had a quadrangular shape, a wide base and a narrow top, where thick wooden cylinders covered with iron were attached. On three sides, the throwing machine was upholstered with thick boards. This protected the soldiers serving it from the arrows of the enemy. Throwing machines threw large stones. Having installed siege machines, the Slavs, under the cover of throwing machines and archers, pushed the "turtles" close to the fortress wall and began to shake it with iron rams and destroy it with hooks. So gaps were made for the assault columns. The siege of Thessaloniki lasted six days. On the seventh day, for some unknown reason, the besiegers abandoned their camp and all siege equipment and retreated into the mountains.
- in 599. the Avars, having defeated the imperial army, approached Constantinople, but were stopped by the epidemic that began in their army. Seven sons of the kagan died in one day. Emperor Mauritius entered into negotiations with the Avars, and the kagan, accepting the gifts, agreed to peace. However, due to the stinginess and intractability of the emperor, the parties could not reach an agreement on the ransom of 12 thousand Byzantines from the Avar captivity. The angry kagan ordered to kill all the captives and returned home
- in 610. Slavs from the sea and from the land besieged Solun.
- in 622. the Slavic fleet appeared off the coast of Italy.
- in 623. The Slavic flotilla appeared off the coast of Crete and successfully landed its troops there.
- in 626, when the emperor Heraclius with an army left for Asia Minor to fight the Persians, the Slavs, in alliance with the Avars, attacked Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire. The siege of Constantinople by the Russians is confirmed by the Georgian manuscript of 1042: "The siege and storming of the great and holy city of Constantinople by the Scythians, who are Russians." It is known for certain that the Rus attacked Constantinople, in agreement with the Arabs. A large number of throwing machines were manufactured and 12 large assault towers were built, the height of which reached the height of the walls. The allies had the intention, simultaneously with the assault, to land troops in the rear of the defenders. According to the Byzantine bishop, the enemies "filled the sea and land with wild tribes, for whom life is war." On July 31, the allies stormed the fortress walls of Byzantium. In the center were columns of Avars, on the flanks - columns of Slavs. The troops of the garrison of the capital and the population put up stubborn resistance, “Heraclius sent 12,000 soldiers from the east, and they did not allow the fall of Constantinople,” and the allies failed to take Byzantium.
The best thing about the wars of the Slavs was written by Mavro Orbini (the book "The Slavic Kingdom"): "The Slavic people embittered almost all the peoples in the universe with their weapons; ruined I will pass [Persis]; owned Asia and Africa; fought with the Egyptians and the great Alexander; conquered Greece, Macedonia, the Illyric land; took possession of Moravia, the Шlensk land, Czech, Polish and the shores of the Baltic Sea, went to Italy, where he fought against the Romans for a long time. Sometimes he was defeated, sometimes he raged in battle, he took revenge on the Romans with a great death; sometimes, while raging in battle, he was wounded. Finally, having conquered the Roman empire, he took possession of many of their provinces, ruined Rome, inflicting tributaries to the Roman Caesars, which other people did not repair in the whole world. He owned France, England and established a state in Ishpania; took possession of the best provinces in Europe … ". Essentially,Orbini describes how the Slavs conquered the West almost every century and for almost two thousand years.
