'If russians wanted to invade us they could just go through the migration board like everybody else.' I died.

Lmao, "first they will bomb us... they will declare in UN "look guys, we're innocent"... but wait, that's a specialty of NATO".

I'm sure that would be a much efficient strategy than any armed invasion lol.

It is such a shame. The Russ who were a Scandinavian tribe who went to what is now Russia and became the leaders of what was to become Russia.

Than the Russians could stop intruding on Swedish airspace,simulating nuclear bombing of Sweden,provocative military drills at Swedish borders,intrusion of Swedish maritime boundaries and I guess that will help in calming Sweden.

This is a pretty controversial theory. Many historians believe the Varangians were West Slavic tribe, not Scandinavian.
And there is an ancient Slavic legend about three brothers - Rus, Czech and Lech. These three Princes are considered to be ancestors of the Russian, Chechs and Poles people.

What about the Serbs,Croats,Slovaks,Bulgarians ? Or are they the peasants of the Slavic world ?

I am also, I think that the "tribe" went there, helped the divisions that had formed and then were assimilated in the local population.

BUT just look at a map, Finland extends further EAST than where Putin was born so the people arent exactly a whole lot different.

I don't get it though. Europeans hate Russia so much that they would rather allow America and its Globalist elites use European soil to antagonize Russia?

NATO has proven time and again that it is an organization that forwards American Elitist agenda, even at the expense of European countries interests. NATO can station its troops on Russia's border meanwhile where the real invasion is occurring not a single hoot is given. Those millions of refugee males of fighting age are a fifth column in every European society.

Why is it controversial? Is there no evidence for it?

Conflicting and confusing evidences. Every historian can show evidences proving his theory.
But even so-called Normanists (appeared in 18 ct. during the Empress Catherine II - ethnic German) recognize that the Varangians (Normanists believes Varangians are Vikings) were called to our lands (because of terrible feuds), and they not came as conquerors but were invited - that is hired.
This is due to the fact that ancient records were lost during the Mongol invasions and the destruction of many Russian cities, including Russian capital - Kiev.

I think that all the Slavic tribes, as well as any people on the planet, had their ancestors.
But Ilmen Slovenes (tribe that lived in the Northwest of modern Russia), Slovaks, Slovenes and many more now forgotten peoples with similar names - are descendants of Slaven or Slav (his younger sons, whose names have not been saved even in the legends and who have not given their names to posterity), who is considered the common ancestor of all Slavic people.
