Tsar, God and Rus - the same spirit

The present book includes the works of L.A. Gurchenko on searches in the field of Slavic-Russian antiquities, primarily about the fate of the vivid idea of ​​academician B.A. Rybakova, that the early Kyiv prince Kiy and the famous Byzantine stratiger of the VI century. Hilbody, perhaps the same face. Analysis of the combined facts of the chronicler Nestor, the Procopius of Caesarea about Hilbudiy and the inscriptions of the tombstone of Hilbudium allowed to move the idea of ​​Rybakov: yes, Cyi and Hilbody are the same face, the final magnitude.
In the article "The Word" Rusin "in the era of Cyril and Methodius" It is noteworthy to develop the thought of the historian A.G. Kuzmina, that the word "Rusin" is not ethnicon and social status ("citizen") in the initial meaning, it contains religious meaning.
