In The Relations between Ancient Russia and Scandinavia (1877) Vilhelm Thomsen (1842–1927) explores the Scandinavian origins of Russia by a comparative examination of Russian and the Scandinavian languages. The work is an outstanding piece of philological investigation and a key text in early Russian cultural, linguistic and political history.
