The Russians trace their origins to the East Slavs, one of the three main branches of the ancient Slavic people (East, West, and South Slavs). By the 6th century CE, the East Slavs began to settle in the forested and steppe regions of Eastern Europe, including modern-day Ukraine, Belarus, and western Russia.
In the 9th century, the East Slavs were united under the Kievan Rus', a federation of Slavic tribes ruled by the Varangians (Vikings), who played a crucial role in the state’s formation. The Kievan Rus' was centered around Kyiv (modern-day Ukraine) and Novgorod. The adoption of Christianity in 988 under Prince Vladimir marked a defining cultural moment, integrating Slavic traditions with Byzantine religious and cultural influences.
