The predominantly agricultural tribes of East Slavs built an alliance with the Scandinavian warriortraders who were known as the Vikings. They established routes from the north along the rivers Dnieper, Don, and Volga to Byzantium, Arabia, and the Orient as early as in the sixth and seventh centuries CE.
