Although the printed text of the original lecture was destroyed, Miller reprinted it as Origines Rossicae in 1768.
The proponents of the "Normanist theory" of the Russian state - including Nikolai Karamzin (1766-1826) and later Mikhail Pogodin (1800-75) - gave credit to the claims of the Primary Chronicle that the Varangians were invited by East Slavs to rule over them and bring order.
In Karamzin's writing the normanist theory formed the basis and justification for Russian autocracy, and Pogodin used the theory to advance his view that Russia was immune to social upheavals and revolutions, because the Russian state originated from a voluntary treaty between the people of Novgorod and Varangian rulers.

N.M. Karamzin (1766-1826) was the foremost Russian representative of the late eighteenth-century Sentimentalist movement.
She stresses the importance of the role of the author-reader in the structure of Sentimentalist texts, and relates this to the style and genres of these works.
Through close readings of a representative selection of Karamzin's prose fiction, including works previously disregarded as trivial or frivolous, she shows the range of Sentimentalist fiction, its place in literary evolution, and ways in which it anticipates the Romantic movement and the modern Russian novel.
