Back in ancient Russia, some lords wrote to a Viking lord a letter that
their lands were rich and bountiful but, they were incapable of ruling
themselves and would Rurik kindly come south and rule them.
Nice invitation.
I have advocated these last decades Russia badly needs a
Rurikovichi Party, my guess at spelling, whereby they would recognize
as their forefathers their inability to rule themselves and possibly
invite some retired Swedish or Norwegian Prime Minister to rule them.
Along those same lines, being unable to rule ourselves, humankind, and as a fan of Anna and waiting for her to recruit me, I would like to demonstrate my readiness for the Visitors by establishing the Visitors Party, or The V Party.
To quote Pat Paulson, " Why not".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat_Paulsen
One big welfare Earth under their care. Being able to stare up at that big screen on the bottom of their space ships. Maybe, even share the Bliss.
I say we prepare ourselves for the Visitors and start registration for a V Party.
Would you rather be devoured by a beautiful alluring reptile or one of your own kind?
Sign on here or share why not, so they will eat you before Moi.

This is the standard pretext for one nation to invade another. My first memory of it was when russia invaded Afghanistan. Later on I found out that that this is the way it's always been done, past and present.

My father use to recite that letter from the local Russian royalty to Rurik.
Our land is bountiful but, we cannot rule ourselves.
Or something close.
You might check your history prior to biased uploads. Think smart, act smart.

Just a suggestion, Dev.

And there is one more thing. The source you are quoting is dated from 1037-1073 (start of writing) to 1117 (end of writing).
Events you are speaking of are, approximately, around 850-s or so. Two full centuries from event to writing it is a bit much for accurate description.

Re: V Party Needs Recruits
Anna and the Bliss,
You dont need to wait for the visitors, only you have to find a way to let them identify you. So after a while you will be get in touch by one of them... For example just imagine the President being one of them (smirky Anna smile)
and one way or another we will be ruled either by war or by peace

BRAVO !
I just know what my father use to recite, in English.
Although not the thread topic, whatever else you know of the Rurik invitation would be appreciated. The myth and what facts exist? It just may make us more ready when the, "V" arrive.
My Russian wife bought me a Russian history book many years back and the first thing I indexed was, Rurik. (She does not like history, her father did. She did not even know of the War with Finland)
The Rurik history has always fascinated me. Thank You!

I don't mind being wrong so much if I learn from someone who knows.
If I can reputation tag you again, consider it done.
