oleg the wise
Duke Oleg is one of the most famous legends and heroes of heathen Russia. He was the Duke of a small town under the Novgorod principality. He was a noble and wise ruler, so much so that the Boyars in 882 invited him to share the rulership of Kiev, the capital of the biggest and the strongest principality of Russia. By defeating the huge Byzantium army in 907 and the tribes of hasars he was able to insure Russia peace and good fortune for the Russian land.
