In this work, historian Martyn Whittock explains how it was a Viking-Slav dynasty that created the first Russian state and how a rivalry between Viking leaders set up the states that would later become Russia and Ukraine, with consequences we are still living with today. 'Vikings in the East' is a fascinating and deeply researched historical account of the origins of Russian power and of the psychology of Russian leadership.
