The Prophetic Oleg

The novel "The Prophetic Oleg" opens a cycle of works about Ancient Russia and its princes by the famous writer Boris Vasilyev. Relying on known facts, the writer creates an artistic version of historical events: bypassing various intricacies of the... politics of the Novgorod prince Rurik, Oleg prepares a campaign on Kiev, conquers it, and establishes the Ancient Russian state. From this moment, he begins to unite the Russian lands, annexing more and more cities and resisting the "foolish Khazars" and warring neighbors. A clever and far-sighted leader of the Slavs, he conquers Byzantium and raises the Russian shield at the gates of Tsargrad. Conflicts, deceptions, revenge, conspiracies have never frightened the Prophetic Oleg, who was far ahead of his time. The novel contains secrets and intrigues, battles and campaigns, the story of a beautiful and tragic love, as well as the most interesting details of the life and customs of our distant ancestors.
