Let's not try to determine that based on just what sound like "Russia".
From your link
The etymology of "Rus" is from "rowers", and that wasn't always exactly clear on the Baltic Sea who it mean.
You see while the people on the western shores used that word to refer to the eastern shores, we here on the northern shores used it to refer to people's from the south. And we couldn't really tell whether they came from southeast or southwest.
Which is what the Finnish name for Russia is "Venäjä" and for Sweden it's "Ruotsi".
