This book contains for the first time the main evidence of the origin of the white peoples in the north of Eurasia. Many researchers have been talking and talking about the kinship of all Indo-European ethnic groups and their common ancestral home, located beyond the Arctic Circle, since the 19th century. However, a collection of strictly scientific facts in Russian is presented for the first time in this book. It is based on the data from the author’s PhD thesis, defended at the Institute of Ethnography and Anthropology of the USSR Academy of Sciences. On the pages of the book you will learn that the names of rivers and lands of the Arkhangelsk, Vologda regions and Karelia are mentioned in the ancient Indian Vedas. That many words of the Old Russian language are found in the sacred language of the Aryans, Sanskrit. That the folk ornaments of the northern Rus and the inhabitants of Iran, Tibet and India have a common basis. Finally, that many world scientists have come to the conclusion about the emergence of the Aryans in the north of Eurasia, but their scientific works are stubbornly hushed up. The book “Vedic Rus'” by the outstanding Russian ethnologist Svetlana Zharnikova sheds light on the almost forbidden topic of the origin and spread of Indo-European (Aryan) civilization. The book is a corrected and expanded reissue of Svetlana Zharnikova’s book “The Golden Thread” (2003).
