  1. The essence of the theory : the Slavs are not able to create a state on their own; the state in Rus' was brought in from outside. This speaks of their historical backwardness and doom. Proponents of this theory are G. Bayer, A. Shletser, G. Miller, V. N. Tatishchev, N. M. Karamzin, who cite chronicles and other sources testifying to the calling of the Varangian Rurik and the presence of Varangian squads in the lands of the Eastern Slavs. Anti-Normanists (M.V. Lomonosov, D.I. Ilovaisky, I.E. Zabelin, B.V. Grekov) argue that the development of statehood in Rus' began long before the calling of the Varangians. The Old Russian state arose as a result of the development of a number of socio-economic and political prerequisites.
  1. General: unification of the East Slavic lands into a single state; strengthening the management system; establishment of princely power in subject territories through a system of levying tribute.

Under Vladimir Svyatoslavovich, a new direction of foreign policy appeared - Western, the baptism of Rus' took place, and a defensive system was created on the southern borders.
