Today Russia or Rus is a huge country that occupies a large part of Europe and Asia. Yet it was once a land of modest size that subsequently underwent centuries of expansion and change. Populations came and went, and each migration added to the culture base of the country as it progressed from one incarnation to the next – from principality to empire.
All this movement has left the rich legacy of mythology and legend detailed in this volume – a legacy inherited by a land that covers approximately one-sixth of the earth's total landmass.
