Viking Returns After 1000 Years

Hey bro. I've decided to invade east I'll be perfectly fine You'll regret this, Hrørikr. The Slavs will assimilate you. 1000 years later: EYYY BRAT I'M BACKKKK BLYAT' WE WUZ VARANGIANS nu che, pacani ebať moi hui suka nihnya ty zagorel davai sadis za zhizn' popizdim

A comic shows a Viking warrior announcing an invasion of the East, followed by a scene set 1000 years later where a swaggering modern character returns, drinks, and claims, “WE WUZ VARANGIANS.” The joke is about imagined Viking ancestry and the absurd idea that modern slang-speaking characters are the descendants of Varangians who assimilated into Slavic culture.
