INTRODUCTION

Relevance of the topic is conditioned by the fact that the origin of the Russian land is of crucial importance for comprehension of the genesis of the Russian statehood and Russian ethnos. Knowledge of the origins allows a deeper understanding of the further course of the historical development of the country. Despite the extensive historiography of the issue, there is still no unambiguous answer to the question of the origin of the East Slavic tribes and the territory of Russia. This indicates the complexity and multidimensionality of the problem. The interest of researchers and the public to the topic is also due to the fact that in modern conditions, in the era of globalisation, the issues of national identity and historical memory are aggravated. The study of the origins of Russian statehood acquires special significance in the context of these challenges of modernity. Active discussions around the origin of Ancient Russia in the scientific and near-scientific environment also testify to the relevance of the problems.Object of the study.
