Introduction
Lech, Czech and Rus is a founding legend of three Slavic brothers: the Poles (or Lechites), the Czechs, and the Rus'. The three legendary brothers appear together in the Wielkopolska Chronicle, compiled in the early 14th century. The legend states that the brothers, on a hunting trip, followed different prey and thus traveled (and settled) in different directions: Lech in the northwest, Czech in the west, and Rus' in the northeast.
Settlements of the Imenkovskaya culture have several similarities with Slavic settlements, in particular, of the Prague-Korchak culture. They built small semi-dugouts and lived in unfortified villages along the riverbanks. The settlements were located compactly (consisted of five-six) forming nests, which probably were consistent with the same family. Hillforts of the Imenkovskaya culture have small cultural layers that is why maybe they were used as shelters. Also, there are some similarities in ceramic material.
Imenkovites left a significant mark in the history of the Middle Volga region. In the territory of Bolgar, there are several Imenkovsky settlements.

Culture
The tribes of the Imenkovskaya culture on the Middle Volga and on the Lower Kama appeared in III-IV centuries AD and existed there before Bulgars came to the Kama region in VII century. This new population brought with itself more developed agriculture and crafts, original spiritual culture and the rite of cremation.
In recent years, there is a point of view in historical-archaeological science about Slavic roots of the population of the Imenkovskaya culture. For the first time this opinion was expressed by A. P. Smirnov and then supported by new materials of G. I. Matveyeva.
Imenkovites left a significant mark in the history of the Middle Volga region. In the territory of Bolgar, there are several Imenkovsky settlements.
