At the risk of stirring up a hornets nest.... At or about 1000ad when Vladamir the Great was uniting Russia there was a general feeling that the Viking Gods, in particular Thor, had let them down leading to the defeats that cut off the trade to the far east. The Tartars of upper central asia adopted the jewish religion as a replacement. Vladamir considered this but ended up choosing Eastern Orthodox. Later attacks from central asia caused this jewish population to move throughout russia. TP
