Askold

Dedicated to the ruler of Kievan power prince Askold (? -882).

"Tale of Bygone Years" provides the most meager of Askold information, however, made up for the silence of the chronicler modern historians. For example, LNGumilev rightly argues that Askold (instead of Oleg!) Back in the 860-ies made a victorious campaign against Constantinople, received a large indemnity, and arrived at the same time his shield on the gates of the conquered city - a long, good memory.
