The Viking Age in Europe was a period of almost continuous wars. It was during this era that the knightly army was formed, which is a kind of "business card" of medieval Europe. The banks of the Dnipro River in the Viking Age became a place of lively activity for Russian traders and warriors, which resulted in the creation of the Russian state. This book provides an insight into the army of the first Russian rulers, what the Russian warriors fought and defended themselves with, who they attacked and who they defended themselves against. You will learn why Viking swords are found in the waters where the weapons and helmets of Russian soldiers were made, and what was the reason for their victories. The book tells about when Russian ships first appeared on the banks of the Dnipro, how many times the Russian army sailed to Byzantium, how Kyivan princes conquered the Slavs, and whether Sviatoslav ever went to Khazaria. The publication is intended for anyone interested in the ancient history of Ukraine, the history of weapons and military affairs.
