He had several months to live. But a happy accident allowed me to find a new, rich life. Yes, in the Middle Ages, but what does it matter. Especially if everything works out in such a way that you don’t get bored. He experienced for himself what it was like to walk along the path “from the Varangians to the Greeks.” I saw the splendor and poverty of Constantinople. Went through dirt, blood and the stench of battles. Almost destroyed the Seljuk state. He was the favorite of the future emperor and the lover of his sister. And fate is ready to bestow him with new joys and trials that will not allow his blood to stagnate. But at some point, a sense of responsibility for the people who trusted him suggests that he will not be able to protect them on the territory of the Byzantine Empire. And then he decides to return to Rus'. It's not calm there either. The principalities are constantly shaken by civil strife. But you can also settle away from these conflicts. If it works out, of course.
