A Slav is a member of a group of people in central and eastern Europe speaking slavic languages
The Vikings were Scandinavian seafarers known for their raids and explorations from the late 8th to the early 11th century, while the Slavs are an ethno-linguistic group from Central and Eastern Europe. The interaction between Vikings and Slavs included both conflict and alliances, ultimately leading to the establishment of early Russian states. The two groups had distinct cultures and societal structures, with the Vikings being more centralized and militarized compared to the Slavs.
