The novel "Prophetic Oleg" opens a series of works about Ancient Rus' and its princes by the renowned writer Boris Vasiliev.
Drawing on known facts, the author creates a fictionalized version of historical events: bypassing the various intricacies of the Novgorod Prince Rurik's politics, Oleg prepares a campaign against Kyiv, conquers it, and founds the Old Russian state. From this point on, he begins the unification of the Russian lands, annexing more and more cities and repelling the "foolish Khazars" and their warlike neighbors.
An intelligent and insightful leader of the Slavs, he conquers Byzantium and erects a Russian shield on the gates of Constantinople. Conflicts, deceptions, revenge, and conspiracies never frightened Prophetic Oleg, who was far ahead of his time.
The novel contains secrets and intrigues, battles and campaigns, a story of beautiful and tragic love, as well as fascinating details about the lives and daily life of our distant ancestors.
