Slavs.
>>2451998
Are there any possible estimates how proportionally bigger the slavs were in numbers compared to scandis.
Also, why would the slavs be larger?

>The Rus'–Byzantine Treaties give a valuable insight into the names of the Rus'. Of the fourteen Rus' signatories to the Rus'–Byzantine Treaty in 907, all had Norse names.[15] By the Rus'–Byzantine Treaty (945) in 945, some signatories of the Rus' had Slavic names while the vast majority had Norse names.
>According to F. Donald Logan, "In 839, the Rus were Swedes; in 1043 the Rus were Slavs."
Doesn't that mean they were mainly swedish?

Nordcucks got KHAN'D by the Khazars way before the Mongols were a thing.
Truly, the Turan master race is unstoppable.

No, it merely means the leaders probably were.
The army itself was nearly entirely Slavic;
"Leaving Igor in Kiev, Oleg attacked the Greeks. He took with him a multitude of Varangians, Chuds, Krivichians, Merians, Polianians, Severians, Derevlians, Radimichians, Croats, Dulebians, and Tivercians, who are Tors. All these tribes are known as Great Scythia by the Greeks. With this entire force, Oleg sallied forth by horse and by ship, and the number of his vessels was two thousand." - Rus primary chronicle

They weren't a khaganate lol, some just call them that because they took over the steppes and annihilated the Khazars and everyone else there.

Hahaha
Sure thing buddy, it is not like the Rus genocided the Khazars and all their steppe allies out of existence or anything;
"Now not even a trace is left of the Bulgars, Burthas and Khazars and the tribes in the steppes, because Rus annihilated all of them, overran their lands and annexed them." - Ibn-Chaukal

Sigh.
There were numerous tribes of Bulgars.
The source obviously means those allied to the Khazars, from the Crimea to the Caucasus;
