: No doubt; Ivan IV ("Ivan the Terrible") of
: Kievan Rus turned it into the independant state of
: Russia.

I just checked with a pretty reliable source on this and I can't get a confirmation that Rurik was ever called "the" anything. And Vikings were called Variagi in Russian, Varangians in English transliteration. The one thing the Rurik was called was knyaz Rurik, prince/sovereign Rurik.
