In those ancient, troubled times of Ancient Rus', when the cult of the old Slavic gods flourished everywhere in the vast domains of the proud and freedom-loving Russians, fragmented into many small principalities, the mighty warrior Ratibor lived and did not grieve. He was quick-tempered and strong, like a brown bear, and hot and indomitable, like a newly awakened volcano. Because of his violent temper, our red-bearded knight constantly got into all sorts of troubles, which he was incredibly happy about, for he loved these same troubles almost as much as a well-fried piece of meat with a mug of good kvass. What terrible threat hangs over the glorious city of Mirgrad? What kind of fierce enemy stands at his gates? What dangerous adventures will our hero and his bosom friends plunge into like a whirlpool? You will learn about all this by reading the legend about Ratibor from the Rus tribe.
