I have some problems with the introduction

[edit]

The second sentence "Initially, the Rus' appeared in Serkland[...]" irks me, because given the context, Serkland appears to have nothing with the Rus', or anything established in the first sentence, and Serkland is a norse exonym. I don't really know how to fix the sentence but it threw me off. Also, as far as I know, what Serkland IS isn't really established -- ––Ellie (McLennonSon) 00:56, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
