	FOCUS ON PHILATELY: The founding family of Kyivan Rus' (PART I) (10/06/02)
		It is almost certain that the real Riurik never visited Ukrainian lands and any Rus' territory that he may have acquired would have been in the far Baltic north, in present-day Russia.
		According to the PVL, Ihor was the son of the great Varangian (Viking) leader Riurik, who had been invited to rule over Rus' lands around the year 860.
		The few campaigns recorded for Ihor in 913-915 and 920 echo similar events recorded earlier (expeditions against the Derevlianians are first mentioned in 883)_13_ and for 945 and later,_14_ and were clearly made up by the chronicler to "fill in" embarrassing lacunae.

	Sample Chapter for Honig, B.: Democracy and the Foreigner.
		Even if the empirical question regarding Riurik's foreignness could be put to rest, the question of his expressive significance as a foreign-founder would still be an open question whose debate would arouse passions and land some unfortunate souls in a Siberia of one kind or another.
		In all likelihood, the fact of Ruirik's foreignness would drive some to argue that Riurik, though really a Scandinavian, was possessed of Slavic features and temperament.
		Alternatively, scholars might redate what they take to be the beginning of a Slavic people, so that Riurik would be removed from his position of central importance in the Slavs' origin story.
