Day of Remembrance of Prince Oleg (15/09)





Historians call one of the main results of the campaign the conclusion of a trade agreement, according to which Russian merchants could conduct duty-free trade. Oleg nailed his shield — symbol of victory — on the gates of Constantinople.

During his reign (882—912), Oleg united the disparate Slavic tribes into a single state — Kievan Rus. But for this it was necessary to capture Kyiv, where at that time Rurik’s vigilantes Askold and Dir, killed by the prince during a small campaign, were sitting. Ruling on the throne as regent, Oleg gave upbringing to Rurik’s son — Igor.

The Magi of Miracles predicted the death of Prince Oleg from a faithful horse. So it happened, although after the death of the animal itself.
