Rus is the old Scandinavian word for horse. In sweden, there is still a breed of horse (pony really) called the Gotlansk Rus. Maybe the Rus were a horse trading tribe originally.

Rus is an archaic adjective in serbian meaning blond. Furthermore, there was old state name of Ras Raška over 1000yr ago in balkans…
