The Kings and Generals animated historical documentary series on the early history of Russia continues with a video on the reign of Oleg, Igor, Olga and Sviatoslav, as the Rurikids consolidate the Kievan Rus, attack the Khazars and the Byzantines. This video covers the struggle with the Drevlians and the religious rites of the Kievan Rus and its Variag masters. And, obviously, another siege of Constantinople.

History of Rus is not the Russian history. It's Ukrainian history. Russian doesn't come from the so-called "Eastern Slavic" language. So-called "Eastern Slavic" languages are Ruthenian, Ukrainian and Belarusian. Russian came from Bulgarian (even linguistically Russian is called to be closer to Bulgarian) through church to the Finno-Ugric tribes. Борис Успенский considers Russian to be a deviation of Bulgarian. Even if Finno-Ugric tribes lived on Rus's lands, these lands were colonies in fact and not always. Finno-Ugric people didn't like foreigners too much. And there were battles between Ruthenian and Finno-Ugric people. I'm surprised that in Russia, still, there are descendants of Finno-Ugric and Turkic people that remember who they are, but people call them Slavs for no reason. Look at the citizens of other regions outside Moscow (if you think Moscow is a reference for the whole Russia) for a moment. As for the Finno-Ugric origin, you can read the following work: "Меряне и их быт по курганным раскопкам" by Алексей Сергеевич Уваров (he is an archaeologist of the Russian Empire).

Better yet, as one Niccolò Machiavelli put: “But above all he must refrain from seizing the property of others, because a man is quicker to forget the death of his father than the loss of his patrimony.” In this case, Olga knew that by marrying the Drevlyan Prince, he would kill her sons and have his lineage take over Kiev, it was a terrible deal from her standpoint, so she couldn't stand passive. They got greedy and got humbled. Perhaps had they just demanded peace things wouldn't happened like this. Or maybe Olga would have her revenge regardless, political advises aren't a cake recipe and there are a lot of variables to consider =P

If you are Russian then you know that the Vikings were not evil barbarians as so many videos and printed lies claim. They were excellent traders and hunters and gatherers and craftsmen. They were never pagan and just like the Indians they honored God as the creator of nature and all living things. Thor is the name they used for God in His display of mighty thunder etc. The Vikings later knew about Jesus and the Norway Vikings had the Hebrew Bible translated to Viking language while trading in the Middle East. The Sweden and Finland Vikings went East and befriended the Greeks and had the Greek Septuagint Bible translated into their Viking language and formed the Greek Orthodox Churches. The Viking Bibles are accurate and are older than the first Catholic Bible. The Vikings fought and overthrew ancient Pagan Rome and also fought the Catholics for over 1000 years. The remains of Viking bones are in the tunnels with crypts that are underneath the Jewish Orthodox Torah Old Testament Churches that were built on top of their remains long ago in Kyiv Ukraine. Kyiv is really Kiev Rus as in Russia and is the true Capital of Russia and the Vikings contributed the region to Russia. My research was some of the information about the Vikings at the time as well as information in the history of the U.K. and the Spanish Conquistadors and was accurate. A Spaniard Hispanic cop temporarily detained me and in the state of Texas and stole my research. Texas is becoming very Communist and controlling with people afraid to speak and there is a large Spaniard Hispanic population that gets their way. Hospitals and Clinics and Pharmacies are everywhere in America with millions of sick or dying people and millions who already have died. The Spaniard Hispanic and the French and the Italian and Italian Portuguese and some of the British are not under attack either chemically or biologically or by violent physical assaults and so they are doing quite well regardless of any lies that may say otherwise. Also they do not lose their homes or jobs and wind up in tent cities. I suspect the Spaniard Hispanics will eventually conquer and rule all others in America as many more if them enter the country each day.

Superb episode. John I wasn’t just a great general: he exemplified flawless Byzantine “diplomacy” during his reign. And him beating the Rus and weakening the Bulgars by deceiving the former definitely help set the stage for his awesome successor. He’s undoubtedly one of the most competent emperors (along with his predecessor who he usurped, Nikephoros II). Basil II (episode soon please) was lucky to have him as his co-emperor and predecessor.

Tyler Ellis more than one way to fuck them without raids. His marriage to the sister of emperor cause serious issues for Basil II, who allowed “born in purple” to marry a barbarian. Also before returning cherson he has to first take it no? Essentially forcing the emperor to ask for help and marry her off

Amazing video as always! But after the death of Simeon I, his son Petar I is officially recognized as "Tsar of Bulgarians and Greeks" by the Eastern Roman Emperor Roman I. And so Petar's descendants - Roman and Boris II are to be called by the title "Tsar" as well. One of them would die in captivity and the other would be killed by a Bulgarian boarder soldier during the reign of the Comitopuli dinasty, more specifically - Samuel of Bulgaria. Keep up!

But Very True for 50 Years Bulgaria was legally Recognized as a Fellow Imperial realm alongside the Emperor of the Franks.

The term "Kievan Rus" was coined by historians in the mid-19th century. Ethnic self-designation of contemporaries (10-11 centuries) - Rus (Русь), Rusland (Руськая земля), Rusia (Росия), with one "S". Vikings (normanni, varangians) were used to guard trade routes and caravans. Sometimes they were hired to "solve" local tribal conflicts.
