Княгиня Ольга: як кривава месниця стала святою?

Ambassadors buried alive, a bathhouse burned, five thousand killed at a funeral feast, and a city set on fire with the help of pigeons. This is how the Tale of Bygone Years describes Princess Olga's revenge on the Derevlians. But the chronicle was created almost two centuries after the events - and modern historians do not consider all its details to be indisputable facts. Who was Princess Olga really: a cruel avenger, the first great reformer of Kievan Rus, a skilled diplomat, or a ruler who prepared the future baptism of Rus? We analyze her mysterious origin, the death of Prince Igor, four legendary revenges on the Derevlians, tax reform, a trip to Constantinople, a conflict with Svyatoslav, and the path from a pagan regent to an Equal-to-the-Apostles saint.
