In the year he made a campaign to Byzantium, in concluding an agreement with her. Prince Oleg by origin was a Norman Varangian and, becoming the successor of Prince Rurik, ruled over the East Slavic tribes for 33 years.

State historiographer Nikolai Mikhailovich Karamzin reports for what purpose and under what circumstances Rurik transferred power to Oleg. This guardian Igorev soon became famous for his great dumpness, victories, prudence, love of subjects. "We see that Rurik’s choice was successful. So in the history of the Russian state, the most clearly formulated and successfully implemented the most important problem of any statehood - the problem of an bloodless transit of the supreme power from one ruler to another.

When Igor was grown up, he did not consider it, he did not consider It is possible to rush Oleg with the transfer of all the fullness of princely power to him exactly a thousand years before the largest Prussian-German statesman Otto von Bismarck theoretically formulated his symbol of the faith: “It is not with the speech and decrees of the majority that great modern issues are resolved ...

but with iron and blood,” Prince Oleg successfully realized it in his political practice. It was Oleg’s iron and blood ”that united the main part of the East Slavic tribes under his authority, subjugated the Drevlyans, Northerners, Radimichi. Successfully fought with the Khazars. He fought for the conquest of Dulebs, Croats, Tiverts and Street. Oleg cunningly lured the Varangians in Kyiv by the Varangians Askold and Dir, killed them and began to rule in Kyiv.

Here, therefore, the main defense should have been approved, the main prison of the new possession from the steppes; Here, at the beginning of the steppes, it was supposed to be and probably before there was a prefabricated place for Russian boats that went to the Black Sea. Thus, the two ends of the great waterway, in the north from the side of Lake Ladoga and in the south from the side of the steppes, were connected in one possession.

From here you can see all the importance of this path in our history: on its shores the original Russian state region was formed; Hence the constant close connection between Novgorod and Kyiv, which we subsequently subsequently; It is clear why Novgorod always belonged only to the senior prince, the Grand Duke of Kyiv. "Another, no less outstanding Russian historian Vasily Osipovich Klyuchevsky is aphoristically briefly and accurately said about the most important economic consequences of the transfer of the capital to Kyiv for the upcoming fate of the Russian state:" Who owned Kiev, he held in his hands the key to the main gates of Russian trade.

That is why all the Varangian princes, who appeared in the north, was drawn to Kyiv. Because of him, they competed with each other and exterminated each other. "A quarter of a century after the approval of his own power over Kiev, Prince Oleg just made his legendary campaign against the Byzantine Empire, ending with the siege of Constantinople Constantinople. Putting down from the aesthetic image created by the state historiographer, Kondraty Fedorovich Ryleev Oleg’s squad from the walls of Kyiv to the gates of Constantinople, bored with peaceful silence, and with them a thunderstorm on the Tsaregrad Brega.
