By 860 the Byzantines are writing about what these people who have a name well that's recognizable today but in a different way they're called roos are us you'll see it written our hos our os all those versions and yes it sounds like the root word for Russia because it probably is. When the Byzantine start writing records that we can still that were preserved that made it to today that we can look at about these people  we already have found out about these people because they showed up in western records first It's a little ironic isn't it this brand new people because that's how history always treats it right?
