the Viking ruler Rurik soon established Novgorod.
Because in my brief look into this, it isn't even clear if Rurik existed. The story of Rurik seems to have been compiled 100 years later
However, I agree that Putin is using the legend of Rurik symbolically here. He mentioned Rurik when he spoke with Tucker Carlson. And that Putin believes modern Russia can be traced back to Kiev and the Kievan Rus
I'm thinking this part about the actual rune is a modern mythology. perhaps from recent movies/TV shows
And it isnt odd to me that this symbol of victory for the Rus continues to be used today.
I agree with this.
