In Slavic languages such as Russian the Vikings are known as the Varyags (Varangians in English). The Vikings plied many of the riverine systems of what is today Ukraine, Russia and Belarus establishing trade, and later a political kingdom over the ancient Slavs. This period also created a common ancestral descent between the tribes due to political dominion.

The Slavs
people of eastern Europe
All ethnic Russians are Slavs, yet not all Slavs are Russians. Russians, along with Ukrainians and Belarussians, are all Eastern Slavs. Eastern Slavs, along with the Western Slavs(Poles, Czechs, Slovaks) and the Southern Slavs (Serbians, Slovenes, Bosnians, Croats, Montenegrins, Bulgarians, Macedonian Slavs) are all Slavs. NOTE: I only mentioned the SLacic groups that have their own nations, there are other Slavic peoples that from minorities in various places in Eastern Europe.

The early Slavs were not conquered. They were conquerors. They conquered most of eastern Europe.
The three major divisions of Slavs in Eastern Europe are the West Slavs, East Slavs, and South Slavs. The West Slavs primarily include Poles, Czechs, and Slovaks. The East Slavs are represented by Russians, Ukrainians, and Belarusians. The South Slavs consist of groups such as Serbs, Croats, Slovenes, Bulgarians, and Macedonians, each developing distinct languages and cultures over time.
