Google is great.. Okay, it has to do with the birth of Russia. Those were three siblings from Sweden who settled what is now known as Kiev.

Izborsk was first mentioned in the ancient Russian chronicles in 862. As the chronicle reads, three legendary princes of Scandinavian origin were invited to rule the lands of the Chudes, Slovenes, Vepsians and Kriviches: Rjurik at Ladoga, Sineus at Valgjärve and Truvor in Izborsk. Sineus and Truvor soon died and their possessions were inherited by Rjurik, the ancestor of the dynasty of Russian rulers. The fortress of Izborsk was erected within the 7th and 13th centuries by a Slavic tribe, the Krivich.

Skandinaavlase Truvori Venesse importimise legend pajatab, et Novgorodi ümbrus oli kuni 859. aasta ülestõusuni viikingite (varjaagide) valitsetav ala. Et nende minemaajamise järel tekkis suur korralagedus, otsustati valitsejad taas väljast kutsuda. Kolm viikingitest venda nõustusid tulema: Rjurik Novgorodi, Sineus Vana-Laadogasse ja Truvor Irboskasse. Pärast alade ühendamist 862. aastal hakati seda Russiks kutsuma. Võibolla vajaks Venemaa nüüdki kriisidest ülesaamiseks välisjuhtide abi?

Et vürst kutsuti tollal ametisse kaugemalt ning ta õigused olid lepinguga piiratud, ei nimetatud isandaks mitte vürsti, vaid linna ennast – Gospodin Gossudar Veliki Novgorod. Kuigi Jeltsini ukaasiga sai linn taas Veliki Novgorodiks, seisab jõe kaldal asuv ratsamonument näoga ähvardavalt Moskva suunas. Erinevalt teistest Venemaa linnadest on siin püstitatud ausammas ka Wehrmachti ja Narva pataljoni sõduritele.

why the three names came back to me..

i wtched a political tv-discussion, where a very recent thing - a russian embassador's enlightning comment in his interview to a latvian paper 'diena' about freiberga's comment on may 9th ('have to explain our stand there'-kinda ), saying she shouldn't dream of getting a word (say) there!!!!!!!!!
:blink.gif huh.gif <_<

and one of those there alway's reminds me of retorting another habitual insolence from some russian embassador here by reminding him of them.
lol.gif lol.gif tongue.gif

i couldn't believe my ears when i first heard about it.. but the guy is always quite good with words and tends to have some meaning in a sentence he utters..

one of my favourite politicians
:D
