Was Rurik really Finnish? It's also worth noting when Ahmad Ibn Fadlan described the Rus he mentioned tattoos.
Norse never had any tattoos the sagas never mention them but they do mention things like hair color or scars so it's not like they omit details. Can we blame Finns for Russia?

Bump pls guys I'm really curious who Rus really were.
Enclaves of the ancient Finnish empire after its fall
The people living around Kiev had trouble with other tribes and asked for help from some warlords coming from the stockholm peninsula around Birka, these then became kings and founded Kiev after BTFOing the hostile tribes, the russian royal family was descended from these as well
