In this video:
The exact year that Princess Olga of Kiev was born is disputed. The Primary Chronicle states her birth year was 879, while other sources claim she was born in 890 or maybe even a littler later. Given that we know her only son was born in 942, the earlier date can be safely ruled out, and even the later one is questionable. There is also no solid evidence as to her place of birth, with sources placing her in Pskov or Veshchy.

I’ve been with my husband since we were 12. At 19 we were at a pool hall when a group of men kept hitting on me and my friend, they were drunk and getting rude. My husband stepped in and asked them to leave us alone, one guy started fighting my husband. My husband was winning and the other guys friends started jumping on my husband. I was an all state softball pitcher and picked up pool ball after pool ball clocking them guys upside their heads. My husband took down two, I took out three. We’ve been married for twenty years, together for 27, and damn right I would burn a village down for him.

(after killing Olga's husband) Drevlyans : Why do I hear boss music?
-
“My name is Olga, you killed my husband. Prepare to die.”
-
"Do you mind telling me why you fled?" "They killed Olga's husband." "Oh..."
-
Why can't we have a movie about HER?!
-
She needed to teach her husband’s enemies a lesson in order to protect her son. Don’t mess with mama bears.
-
I never get tired of this story. I love when old timey women get their revenge because people underestimate them so severely.
-
This whole thing sounded more Game of Thrones than John Wick
-
“What do you need?” “Crucifixes. Lots of crucifixes”

"Return now to your boat, and remain there with an aspect of arrogance."

Jesus: I love everyone equally....but that woman..... looks at Saint Olga Jesus: She Scares Me.
-
And I thought Boudicca was pissed.
-
I'd watch that movie.
-
lol. Imagine converting to Christianity after all those killings?! Father: Congrats, you are now a Christian. Olga: Hooray! Oh, that reminds me. I need to confess my sins. Father: No problem. Nothing major. Olga: You say that but...

"I once saw her burned an entire village with six birds...six fkin birds"
-
My wife is Russian. I believe everything the Chronicles are claiming.
-
Imagine what would happen if these people killed her dog.
-
The Derevlians. Sounds like a Doctor Who enemy
-
I knew it's going to be Olga. I was born in the city she burned down. She burned Korosten down in 946 and I was born 1045 years later in 1991 🤣🤣
-
I like her; I can't even imagine what she would have done if they have killed her son.
