Related to the origin of the name of the country of Russia, edited by Mr. and Mrs. Liu, "Handbook of World Socio-Cultural Geography," there is another explanation:
In the past, we call the predecessor of the Soviet Union as Russia, Czarist Russia, Imperial Russia; the Soviet Union is called the Soviet Union, in which the word "Russia" is actually a simplification of the word "Russia. The word "Russian" is actually a simplification of "Russia". In Russian, however, there is no phonetic equivalent of Russia. Instead, there is Pycb, Poccия, or Pyccия, from which other European languages have evolved various word forms, such as Ross, Russ, and Russia in English, or Rus', Rossiya, and Russiya when transcribed in the Roman alphabet; in Chinese, they can be translated as Lucy, Ross, and Lucia, respectively ("Lucia"). The translation "Lucia" was created by the Japanese, who to this day still refer to Russians as Lucians, and Russian as the Lucian language). Of course, in these translations, you can see some connection, for example, Russia is Rus. Why the extra hat - the word "Russian" at the beginning? It has something to do with Mongols and the Mongolian language.
Notice that historically, our country and the Russians have never been on the border between the Uralic and Altaic languages spoken by many ethnic groups, in particular, separated by a wide range of geographic activities of the Mongols. The Mongolian language, due to its own characteristics, whenever a word begins with the consonant r (regardless of whether the tongue trembles when pronouncing this r sound), the vowel immediately following it must be moved forward and repeated once in order to facilitate the pronunciation of the word, and since this r sound is found in Pиcb, Poccия, and Pyc-cия, the word was pronounced as Oroso. "斡罗思" (and a variety of other translations). By the Qing Dynasty, Russia had begun to border with China, the Qing Dynasty still inherited the Mongolian name for them, just another transliteration of "Russia", and has been used to this day.
Second, on the origin of Russia explained as follows:
1, a statement that the "Russian state" originated in the middle of the 9th century, that is, in the Slavs about 300 years after the appearance of the first records. It was not the Slavs who first founded the state, but a foreign people. The Varyag from Sweden overcame the Khazars from Asia and became the masters of the Eastern European plain. "Even the original princes of Novgorod and Kiev, as soon as we look at those names, we know that they were of Swedish origin". "The name 'Ross' comes from the nickname given by the Finns to the Swedes who came to Finland via the Baltic Sea. But most of the city's inhabitants were Slavs, and the princes and their nobility were soon Slavicized."
In the 9th century A.D., when the East Slavs were painstakingly pioneering forests and meadows between the Dniester and Dnieper rivers, a tribe from Scandinavia began to invade their lives. The East Slavs called this tribe the Varyag, and the Finns called them the Rosses (Finnish ruotsi or rootsi, meaning Northerners or Normans). The Varyag conquered the Eastern Slavs, who were thereafter known as the Rus. The country founded by the Varyag was historically known as "Kievan Rus "2.
2. According to another theory, the Valanians, who came from Scandinavia southward to Eastern Europe in the Middle Ages, conquered the area around Kiev. Because the conquerors came from Roden, now ROSLAGEN, on the east coast of Sweden, the local Slavs called these conquerors Rossians, based on the first half of this place name, ROS.
The official Russian position is represented by the book "Pages of History" by S. N. Thurlov, published by the "Russian Language" publishing house in 1987. The book states, "In the multi-ethnic Soviet Union there are three fraternal peoples: the Russians, the Ukrainians and the Belarusians. They make up 70% of the country's inhabitants. There are many points of ****similarity in their languages, national customs and cultures. Their common ancestor is the Eastern Slavs. The Eastern Slavs are the descendants of ancient agricultural and pastoral tribes that lived in the south of Eastern Europe in BC. At the beginning of the 1st century A.D. the East Slavs occupied a vast territory from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea, from the Karpathian Mountains to the upper reaches of the Oka and Volga Rivers.At the beginning of the 9th century an early feudal state, Kievan Rus, appeared in the East Slavs. Many bourgeois historians still insist that this feudal state was founded by Normans from Scandinavia. Russian and Soviet scholars have long since refuted this so-called 'Norman theory'. They proved that the Russian state was formed as a result of the long-term independent development of the East Slavic tribes."
Serov writes, "A mythological story still circulates that the Slavic tribal grand duke Kii and his brothers Sheik and Horiv founded a city on the towering banks of the Dnieper River. In honor of their elder brother, they named the city Kiev. According to Nestor, the compiler of the Kiev chronicles, Kii went to Tsargrad (Constantinople) and was warmly received by the Byzantine emperor. He died soon after his return to Kiev. Kii's descendants were the earliest archdukes of the Duchy of Kiev. Over the centuries, the Eastern Slavs struggled against nomads from Asia. In the 4th century AD, the Huns attacked the Slavs. This was followed by attacks by the Avars and Khazars. The Slavs themselves often undertook military expeditions to the Danube coast and to Byzantium. For defensive and offensive warfare, the Eastern Slavs formed alliances. In the 6th century, the Slavic tribes living on both sides of the Dnieper united under the leadership of the Rus tribe. This tribe was named after the Rus River, a tributary of the Dnieper. All the Slavs who joined this union gradually came to be known as the Rus. Nestor writes: 'The Poles (the ancient East Slavic tribes living along the Dnieper and its tributaries) were now called Rus.' Kiev became the center of the land of Rus."
3. Additional explanations:
Ivan III, Grand Duke of Moscow (reigned 1462-1505) gradually annexed Novgorod, Tver, and Ryazan and established a centralized state, making himself the sole monarch of northeastern Rus', and known as the "monarch of all Rus'".
Ivan's son, Vasily III (reigned 1505-1533), continued to expand and completed the unification of Russia. This marked the final formation of the Russian nation.
Peter the Great (reigned 1682-1725) first gave his country the name "Russian Empire".
After the October Socialist Revolution of 1917, the "Russian Soviet Socialist Federative ****ation" was established and joined the USSR, changing its name in December 1991 to the Russian Federation, or Russia.
