What a prince Oleg looked like. The Board of Prince Oleg (briefly). Domestic policy of the reign of Prince Oleg

Oleg Novgorodsky is usually beginning to deduct the formation of ancient Russian power. The figure is really a sign, because I defined the beginning of a new era, a new era. His life, like death, has many mysteries for historians. But still the prince of Oleg is prophetic, the brief biography of which will be discussed below, is a person quite interesting for researchers and ordinary lovers of antiquity.

Appearance in Russia

The biography of which we are known only briefly, is considered the founder of the ancient Russian state. He was a relative of the legendary Varyag Rurik, that is, the brother Efanda was a commander's wife. There is an opinion that he was an ordinary governor, to whom Viking immensely trusted. Otherwise, would he commit him to take his young son? It should be assumed that Oleg acted under the agreement with Rurik, and maybe he had certain freedom. One way or another, but rather quickly he seized Smolensk and love, and then Kiev. By the way, the Zlatovochiy city was captured by a cunning: Varyag smeared because of the walls (which were also probably wiking) and killed them, declaring himself a prince.

Achievements and successes

Prince Oleg, whose biography is considered in this article, strengthened the power whether the tribes of the Slavs neighboring with Kiev, whether to conquer them. He installed a tribute for them, which is not strongly in humans. But his military successes were really impressive. Hiking vs. Khazar saved Russian lands from the need to pay Kaganat the Foul. The great Tsargrad fell on the gates of which, according to the chronicle, the prince nailed his shield. As a result, Russian merchants could trade without duties with Byzantia, receive all sorts of support from it. Thus, the prince Oleg is prophetic, the brief biography of which is considered above, has more merit to Russia than Rurik. Moreover, there is almost nothing to know about the prince of dynasty.

Hike to Tsargrad.

Prince Oleg, the brief biography of which is covered in the story of the time of age, is an outstanding personality. He organized a famous campaign to Constantinople, after which he got his nickname - prophetic. The chronicle states that he sent a huge army on two thousand rooks to the city. Each boat was placed four tent of the warriors. The emperor ordered to close the gate of the capital, leaving the suburbs and villages on the enemies. But the Kiev prince ordered to attach the wheels to the ships, on which the army came to the gate of Tsargrad. Byzantines were in bewilderment, therefore surrendered, offering Oleg generous tribute and peace.

And was there a goal?

Prince Oleg, whose short biography There is practically in every textbook of history, - the figure is contrary to. Researchers have more questions than answers about his life. For example, the fact of the campaign on Byzantium seems unreliable. All because the authors from Constantinople described in detail all attacks on their country, but they do not mention the campaign. In addition, the return from Tsargrad Oleg and Vladimir the Great is very similar. Perhaps this is a description of the same event. At the same time, after Oleg, Igor went to the southern city, who also won. This is stated by European authors who led the chronicles of those years.

Was a snake?

Oleg, whose biography is also known from the lessons of literature, died just as mysteriously, as appeared in Russia. The same describes that once the welfare predicted him death from his beloved horse. Varyag was superstitious, so I sat on another animal, and the favorite instructed the servants, ordering to take care of him before his death. I remembered the ruler about him during the pyr, but it turned out that the horse had long died. Cooking a pet and angry, which believed the wise, the prince went to the bones. But when he came to the skull, I saw a snake, which immediately stung him in the leg. Oleg died from poison.

Prince Oleg, whose biography has long been studied, he could perish another death. And the tale of the horse and the snake may be borrowed from Saga about Orvard Odde. Although some scientists believe that the hero of the Scandinavian legends and the prophetic Oleg are the same face. But there are several facts that make it possible to think about whether the plot about the death of the prince is true. Among them are the following:

Could the snake contact the leather boot, which was worn in Russia? Most likely, no, or Oleg came to the hill to the bones of the horse bare?

And what if the snake jumped and bites the prince above the shining boot? But on the territory of Ukraine in such viper there is no!

As a rule, the snake before the horrid, hits and is trying to wage. Could this not notice Oleg or his close?

As an option, the prince died from poison, but the snake hit him on purpose or poisoned Oleg in advance. Set where the truth, unfortunately, is impossible.

A few more interesting facts

Russian Prince Oleg, whose biography is already known to the reader, is mentioned not only in the chronicles of Kiev and Novgorod. Al-Masidi (Arabic author) talks about the unsuccessful campaign of Rus (500 ships!) On the chel with Olang and Al-Dir to Persia. Part of the production was given to Khazaras, but the latter betrayed them and killed everyone. About thirty thousandwriters died there, and who retreated for the Caspian, were interrupted by Volzhsky Bulgarians. Thus, the legendary prince died in a campaign, as befells brave Varana.

Here is such a smart and warlike prince Oleg. His biography is full of white spots, because of which a halo of mysteriousness and mysteriousness remains around this figure. Perhaps the time will find answers to all questions.

Prince Oleg - Biography

How do we know about Prince Oleg, nicknamed.

Of the two chronicles:

  • Tale of temporary years
  • Novgorod first chronicle.

Having received power over the Novgorod lands after Rüric's death, like the regent of his young son Igor, Oleg seized Kiev and moved the capital there, uniting, thereby, two main centers of the Eastern Slavs. He died in 912.

The exact origin of Oleg in the "Tale of Bygone Years" is not specified. It is said only that he was a rhodium (tribesman) Rüric.

And what does Novgorodsky first chronicle say about Oleg?

In the Novgorod first chronicle, Oleg is depicted not by the prince, but the governor at the game. This Igor kills Askold, captures Kiev and goes war on Byzantium. And Oleg returned back to the north, in Ladoga, where he died not in 912, but in 922. Novgorod chronicle reports another version of the death of Oleg: some say that Oleg left "for the sea" and died there.

Two chronicles depict events completely differently.

What chronicler to believe?

Let's start with the fact that the Tale of Bygone Year is recognized by all the main historical source for the reconstruction of the past ancient Russian state. But this does not mean that all the information she sets out is absolutely reliable. For confidence in Oleg from this chronicling, says the Russian-Byzantine agreement of 911, where Oleg is called the Grand Duke Russian, who concludes an agreement on his own behalf.

And what about Novgorod chronicle? The Novgorod chronicle has kept fragments of an earlier chronicle of the arch, which is based and "Tale of Bygone Years", therefore also deserves a certain confidence. According to a number of researchers, this chronicle is even older than PVL. Its information is best consistent with the eastern news of the Rus of this period.

And what to do historians? So far, historians are usually in scientific, popular science and educational texts use information taken from the Tale of Bygone Years.

Board of Prince Oleg

Prince Oleg is presented according to the versatile age of a skillful commander and prudent politician. For the first time in this chronicle, it is reported in 879 in connection with the death of Rurik. The reign switched to him as "Riding" Rurik and guardian above Igor - his young son. Thus, Oleg Rules in 879-882. In the East Slavonic North, Ilmensky Slovenia, Curvic and the surrounding Finno-Ugrov (Meri, Mary tribes).

In 882, collecting warriors from many people living in the north of Russia, Oleg made a trip to the south. He captured Smolensk, Lyubek, then the way was lying on Kiev. In Kiev, the former warrina Rurik Askold and Deer ruled. In 866, they were released by Rurik on a campaign on Byzantium. After returning from the campaign, Askold and Dir assieved in Kiev.

Reaching Kiev, Oleg sent to them the ambassador with the words: "The merchants we, we are going to the Greeks from Oleg and from Igor Prince, and come to your family and to us." Askold and Dir came ... Oleg, hid some warriors in the rooks, and left others for them, and he himself went forward, and in the hands of the young Prince Igor, and announced to them: "You are not a princess and not a princess "

After checking the heir to Rurik, young Igor, Oleg said: "And he is the son of Rurik." And they killed Askold and Dira.

The location of Kiev seemed to the prince of Oleg very comfortable. The city was approximately in the middle of the most important trading path "from Varyag to Greeks." He settled there with a friend, declaring: "Let it be the mother of the cities of the Russians."

Thus, in 882, the Kiev prince Oleg united under his authority two main points of folding statehood in East Slavic tribes: Kiev region ("Kuyabu" - in foreign sources) and Novgorod ("Slavia"). Lands of North and South Russia became a single state - Kievan Rus. The date of 882, many modern historians take for the conditional date of the birth of ancient Russian state, and Prince Oleg is considered to be the founder and the first ruler.

Years of the reign of Prince Oleg in Kiev - 882-912. According to the Tale of Bygone Years, after the death of Oleg, the son of Rurik Igor (912-945) becomes the son of Knnyazy Kyiv.

Rocking in Kiev, Oleg installed for Novgorod tribute to Varyagam in 300 hryvnia.

Subsequent years, Prince Oleg devoted to the conquest of the Slavic peoples neighboring with Kiev on the left and right banks of the Dnieper - Drevlyan, Northerners, Polyan, Radmich, many nations before that were dependent on the Khazar and paid them tribute.

Camping Prince Oleg on Byzantium

We will learn about this campaign from the Tale of Bygone Years, which reports that in 907 Prince Oleg, collecting a huge army, on ships whose number reached 2000, moved to Tsargrad. According to estimates, the number of warriors reached 80 thousand, and consisted of scary and soldiers of the subjects of Slavic and non-Slavic peoples.

Access to enemy ships in the harbor of Constantinople Greeks blocked the chain. However, Prince Oleg came up with how to get around this obstacle. He ordered to put ships on the wheels. The innumerable Armada associated wind drove away from land to the walls of the Byzantine capital. The Greeks were frightened and requested the world. Prince Oleg demanded a large tribute - 12 hryvnia for each warrior. He hung his shield on the gates of Tsargrad to the gates. Prince Oleg after this campaign nicknamed the prophetic.

However, not all researchers are confident that such a campaign was at all.

Supporters of the idea that the campaign took place, as evidence refer to the accuracy of the Russian-Byzantine agreement of 911 prisoners after him. And the contract was exceptionally successful. Russian merchants received the right of duty-free trade in Constantinople, six months could live in the metropolitan suburb in the monastery of St. Mammoth, due to the Byzantine side to receive food and repair their looses. This contract could well be preceded by the brilliant victory of Prince Oleg.

But there are serious arguments in favor of the opinion on the legendar of the campaign, since only Russian sources speak about such a significant event, but Greek silent. But the numerous enemy siege and attacks who were subjected to Constantinople over the centuries, the Byzantine authors were described often and colorfully. Thus were described and the attacks of Russia in 860 and 941. And about this campaign and taking Tsargrad - not a word.

Death of Prince Oleg

Died prince in 912. The legend says that the Magi predicted the prince of Oleg death from his own beloved horse. The prince ordered him to lead him and about the sinister prophecy remembered only a few years later, when the horse died long ago. Laughing the hassles, he wanted to look at the bone of the horse, and said, put on the Skull one foot: "Do I be afraid of him?". From the skull to the same moment crawled the snake, and caused a deadly bite by the prince.

Of course, this is just a legend, recorded several centuries after the death of Oleg. The legendary prince is legendary death.

In 909, Russia and the Byzantine Empire concluded a military agreement on the Union.

In 1612, the hardest time for Russia was headed by the Russian militia and freed the capital from the hands of conquerors.

Despite the victory of the people's militia and the election of the king, the war in Russia still continued. In 1615-1616 Pozharsky, at the direction of the king, was sent at the head of the big troops to combat the detachments of the Polish Colonel of the Lisovsky, who sedied the city of Bryansk and took Karachev.

Stalin (Jugashvilly) Joseph

Romanov Peter Alekseevich

For endless discussions about Peter I as politics and reformer, it is unfair forgetting that he was the greatest commander of his time. He was not only an excellent organizer of the rear. In two most important battles of the Northern War (the Battle of Forest and Poltava), he not only developed the plans for the battles, but also personally led the troops, while on the most important, responsible directions.
The only one of the commander-known commander was equally talented both in land and sea battles.
The main thing - Peter I created a domestic military school. If all the great commander of Russia is the heirs of Suvorov, then Suvorov himself is the heir to Peter.
The battle under Poltavaya was one of the greatest (if not the greatest) victory in domestic history. In all other great concrete invasions, the general battle of Russia did not have a decisive outcome, and the struggle was delayed, went to exhaustion. And only in the Northern War, the general battle radically changed the state of affairs, and the Swedes have become defending, resolutely lost the initiative.
I believe that Peter I in the list of the best commander of Russia deserves to enter the first three. Hovorov Leonid Aleksandrovich

Marshal of the Soviet Union. From June 1942, he commanded the troops of the Leningrad Front, in February-March 1945 at the same time coordinated the actions of the 2nd and 3rd Baltic fronts.

Brusilov Alexey Alekseevich

The outstanding commander of the First World War, the investigator of the new school of strategy and tactics, which made a huge contribution to overcoming the positional impasse. It was an innovator in the field of military art and one of the most striking military leaders of the national military history.
General from Cavalry A. A. Brusilov showed the ability to manage major operational military associations - the army (8th - 05. 08. 1914 - 17.03. 1916), front (South-Western - 17. 03. 1916. - 21. 05. 1917), front-line group (Supreme Commander - 22. 05. 1917. - 19. 07. 1917).
Personal contribution A. A. Brousilova manifested itself in many successful operations of the Russian army of the First World War period - the Galician Battle of 1914, the Carpathian Battle of 1914/15, Lutsk and Charterous Operations of 1915 and of course, in the occurrence of the South-Western Front 1916 G.

He deceived him to lure them out of the city and kill. Kiev Oleg liked, and he made it the capital of the ancient Russian state. The new power quickly recognized the Slavic tribes, including Poland, Northerners, Drevlyan, Ilmenie Slovenia, Curvichi, Vännychi, Radmichi, Oitrioli and Tivers. Oleg organized the structure of the state in such a way that local princes and governors helped in managing the territories.

In the future, he continued to expand the state at the expense of nearby territories. Under the power of the Kiev Prince in 883, the lands of Drevlyan were departed, in the 884th - Northerners and 885-M radar.

Camping prince

It is impossible not to take into account the success of Oleg and in foreign policy. A special place is occupied by the fight against the Khazar Kaganat, which terrorized the East Slavic lands, collecting tribute to them. Oleg managed to protect his subjects from their raids. The chronicle leads his words addressed to Northerners: "I am an enemy of the Khazaras, so you have no reason to pay them a tribute."

A special place in the chronicles occupies the legendary campaign of Oleg on Byzantium. In 907, he has equipped a large army, and in 2000, it moved to Kinggrad (Constantinople). Byzantines did not expect such an onslaught and did everything to protect the city, including the chains overlap the harbor. Unexpected action of Oleg scared Byzantines: he put all his rooks on the wheels and with passing wind, moved to the city on all the sails. The courage of the city takes: this was enough so that the Greeks suggested Oleg World and Dan.

The Russian army received 12 hryvnia for each ride (adaptation in board the boat to stop the oars when rowing), and in the future, Byzantium was supposed to pay tribute to Russian cities. The main outcome of the world was the contract on the duty-free trade of Russia in Byzantium. Legends say that Oleg, noting the victory, nits his shield on the gate of Tsargrad.

Some historians cast doubt on this campaign, calling him a legend. Nevertheless, the "Tale of Bygone Years", in the description of the campaign of Igor Rurikovich in 944, reports the words of the Byzantine king to the prince Igor: "Do not go, but take tribute to what Oleg took, I will add it to that Dani."

In the same chronicles, its nickname is properly, which corresponds to a knowledgeable future predictable it. So Oleg began to call immediately on returning from the campaign to Byzantium 907.

Legends about the mean Oleg

Contradictive evidence of the circumstances of the death of Oleg. "The Tale of Bygone Years" reports that his death was preceded by heavenly sign - the appearance of the "star Great in the West with a penny way."

There are other versions, but everywhere there is a legend of death from the snake bite. According to legend, Magi predicted Oleg death from his beloved horse. About Kone Prince remembered only a few years after his death. Oleg laughed at Walking, came to the death of the horse, got up on the skull and said: "Do I fear him?" However, a poisonous snake lived in the skull, a deadly tasty prince.

The death date of Oleg, as well as all the chronicle dates of Russian history until the end of the century, is conditional. Nevertheless, the most preferred date is 912.
