Graves of Ancient Russian Rulers Discovered at Altai
Rurik, legendary Russian ruler

Archeologsts have recently discovered graves of ancient Russian family of Ruriks (“Rurik” means “famous ruler”) in the town of Zmeinogorsk, reports famous Russian historian.
      
      The discovery was totally unexpected – fellows of local historical centre have taken children from historical society to perform diggings on the city’s cemetery, and among other pre-revolutionary burials they found graves of Ruriks.
      
      Now scientists start enormous research – they are going to identify the graves and bodies in them.

I've never heard of this ancient ruler, but it is always fascinating to learn of a new discovery like this. They almost always lead to some new insight about the legends and tales having some truth.

The Ruriks were 9th century Scandinavians. If they went west, then they would have been called Vikings.

A better translation from the Russian news item would more clearly explain the importance of this discovery.
