Prince Rurik and Venerable Oleg. The Lost Legend. Where the Russian Land Came From

It is well known that our famous contemporary Mikhail Zadornov was not only an outstanding satirist, playwright, and humorist. One of the most vivid facets of this remarkable personality was his immense love for Russia and deep interest in its... history.
But Mikhail Nikolayevich did not limit himself to mere interest: he actively sought information, painstakingly gathered it, and filmed educational documentaries so that we, the inhabitants of Russia, would know where the Russian land came from.
"He who has no past has no future," Zadornov said, and his authorial view of ancient Russian history, resonating with the views of historians who rejected the Norman theory, is reflected in his wonderful book, in which he attempts to return to us the stolen legend.
