I've read books saying Vikings from Sweden found Kiev and then begun colonizing Russia, and this makes perfect sense because Russians are very white like Swedish, even though they are in Asia. I suppose a Viking called Rurik named the land "Rus" and then was made into Russia. I could be wrong but, that's all i know. I hope i answered your question.

Russia encompasses a very large region one has to be a bit more specific as to the region.
Russia expands over two continents, from the Kola Peninsula to Maktchaka. There are many ethnic groups and several races of people all throughout. Could you be more specific?

The short answer, as with many parts of the world, would be 'Ancient Man'.

Some of the first settlers were Vikings and Norsemen. The name Russia comes from the early word 'rus' from their reddish hair.
