Very cool! Way more than I would have expected. It does makes sense about Scandinavian regions as Vikings did have a lot of interactions with Kievan Rus even to the point of taking part in its formation at some point.
Kiev was the capital of that state and the name "Rus" that came to refer to the population of the region, a blend of Scandinavians, Slavic peoples, and steppe nomads.
