 Thomas Schaub Noonan suggested that the Rus ' reached Baghdad as early as 800 ; this argument is supported by the finding of Sassanid , Arab , and Arabo @-@ Sassanid dirham coins dated no later than 804 – 805 at Peterhof , near Saint @-@ Petersburg . In ibn Khordadbeh 's account , the Rus ' are described as " a kind of the Saqaliba " , a term usually used to refer to Slavs , and anti @-@ Normanist scholars have interpreted this passage as indicative of the Rus ' being Slavs rather than Scandinavians . In the interpretation of the Normanist scholars , the word Saqaliba was also frequently applied to all fair @-@ haired , ruddy @-@ complexioned populations of Central , Eastern , and Northeastern Europe , so ibn Khordadbeh 's language is ambiguous here .

 From there the new population dispersed north and west over the course of the 6th century . The Slavs lived from cultivation of crops and were generally farmers , but also engaged in hunting and gathering . The migrations took place when the destabilizing invasions of eastern and central Europe by waves of people and armies from the east , such as the Huns , Avars and Magyars , were occurring . This westward movement of Slavic people was facilitated in part by the previous emigration of Germanic peoples toward the safer and more developed areas of western and southern Europe . The immigrating Slavs formed various small tribal organizations beginning in the 8th century , some of which coalesced later into larger , state @-@ like ones . Beginning in the 7th century , these tribal units built many fortified structures with earth and wood walls and embankments , called gords . Some of them were developed and inhabited , others had a very large empty area inside the walls .
