Description
Mysterious episodes from Russia's early history are unearthed and examined in this study which is drawn from ancient chronicles and preserved documents from Russia, Greece, Byzantium and the Vatican library.
Russia's founding is the story of the arrival of the Varangian princes, the evolution of Kiev as a great city and the blossoming of the Riurik Dynasty. This history entailed alliances and betrayals with neighbors ranging from the Polish to the Pechenegs. In a sequence of wars and intrigues, marriages and poisoned wells, how did besieged cities break the blockades, and in other cases how did besiegers break the hold outs' resistance?
