GarĂ°arĂ­ki



Gardariki (Icelandic Garðaríki or Garðaveldi, Swedish Gårdarike) is the Old Norse term used in medieval times for the states of Rus' Khaganate and Kievan Rus'. The shortened form Garðar also refers to the same country, as does the general term for "East", Austr, with its various derivations: Austrvegr ("Eastern way"), Austrlönd ("Eastern lands") and Austrríki ("Eastern realm").
