From merciless avenger to canonized saint, Olga of Kiev’s life reads like an epic saga.
When her husband, Grand Prince Igor, was brutally executed by the Drevlians, Olga unleashed one of the most ruthless revenge campaigns in history—burying envoys alive, burning nobles in a bathhouse, and reducing an entire city to ashes using nothing more than birds and fire.
Yet, years later, this same woman would journey to Constantinople, embrace Christianity, and lay the groundwork for the faith’s spread across Kievan Rus'.
In this episode, we dive into the legend of Olga—a ruler whose cunning, brutality, and faith shaped a nation and secured her a place among the saints.
