The Vikings, particularly the Varangians, left behind a significant cultural and trade legacy in Russia. They established trade routes connecting Scandinavia with the Byzantine Empire and the Middle East, facilitating the exchange of goods such as furs, honey, and slaves. Additionally, they contributed to the formation of early Russian states, including the Kievan Rus', and influenced the development of local governance and military practices.
