In 862 different tribes called Scandinavian Varangians to rule over them. Rurik came with his brothers Sineus and Truwor . Sineus ruled Belozersk .

After two years Truwor and Sineus died. Rurik now ruled the Rus alone . Izborsk was no longer one of them.

Surname

A derivation from the Swedish sine hus = his house is not possible. This formulation did not exist with this meaning in Old Norse texts.

The Estonian scientist Mihkel Kampmaa suspected a Balto-Slavic origin of the name (from the Estonian Siniuss - blue snake).
