Legendary Princess Olga. The first female ruler in Rus'. Mother of the great Svyatoslav...Chosen as the second wife of the Kyiv prince, Olga did not become a silent house slave, doomed to “sitting in a prison chamber,” but unexpectedly for everyone rose to the same level as her husband. Moreover, after the death of Prince Igor, she not only brutally took revenge on her husband’s killers, but also kept the reins of government of a huge country in her hands. The blood of the Drevlyans was the first and last shed by the princess. During all 25 years of her rule, Rus' knew neither wars nor internal unrest. But neither power, nor wealth, nor universal recognition (the Byzantine emperor was so fascinated by the Russian princess that he invited her to share the Constantinople throne with him) did not make Olga happy. She suffered the common fate of great rulers - caring all her life for the prosperity of her native land, the princess never found personal happiness... This book is a fascinating story about one of the most dramatic female destinies in history, a tribute to the blessed memory of the most famous princess of Ancient Rus'.
