People from Scandinavia who settled the land along the rivers in what is now north western Russia, were known as the Rus.

After some linguistic development, the land eventually became known as "Rossiya" (in Russian). "Russia" is an English language corruption of "Rossiya". The German word for Russia is Rusland, a name that dates back possibly 1,000 years.
