context_page_description: Sineus and Truvor, according to the 12th-century Primary Chronicle, were the brothers of Rurik of the Varangian Rus tribe. For a long time two names were believed to be a Slavic misunderstanding based on the Scandinavian expressions Trú vor and Sine hus. However, modern research of old Scandinavian dialects demonstrate fallibility of that interpretation.
