Making a drinking glass out of an enemy leader's skull is considered to be an old slavic tradition. A famous case of that was when the Byzantine Emperor Nikifor 1-st Genik got killed by the Bulgarian Khan Krum in 811. The byzantines probably saw some slavic ties between the Rus and the Bulgarians, in order to pick this method of revenge, though the Pechenegs were also tribes of similar origins.

I have to add something about Igor s death - Sviatoslavs father. He did collect the tax normally and left. On the way back, just few killometers maybe, he decides to ride back to demand more, letting the main group keep returning and he went back with a small group. The following was a spontaneous angry reaction of the Drevlyans, not a well planed rebellion.

Incorrect maps Croatia does not exist before the death of Tzar Dushan of Serbia, there is no mention of it, only as a region under Serbia, it was never state, only region in Austrohungary after that, so its incorrect to show it like a state before WW2

Funny how he pretty much borrowed the Bulgarian capital name Preslav for his new capital.
Pereyaslavets is a russified diminutive form of the original. In bulgarian as well the suffix -ets is used to denote diminutive qualities.

Great video! Where can I find the map (or rather, maps) that you show throughout the video? It's the clearest and most visually appealing map I have seen detailing the territorial changes in Europe during the 10th century.

You have mentioned that Volga Bulgaria had been subdued by Kievan Russ, that is not. It had fallen a victim of mongolian invasion, and much later it's former territory as a Kazan Khanate had been conquered by Ivan IV.

There is a theory that Oleg paid the Pechenegs to murder his father, as he did not want to move over and let his father rule Kiev again. Svetaslav was planning on stating in Bulgaria before his defeat.

Is this why modern Jewish people are white and spread through Europe? Because they came from Europe originally? I always thought it strange they went to Palestine

From what i can see here on these maps. if the Magyars weren't there by coincidence there would eventually be a great Slavic Empire in some way or the other.

Olga saved a few of the villagers to give as slaves to the other tribes. Yeah right! So they could give a first hand account of how she settled debts.

Vladimir Krasno Sontsa was never Svetoslav's heir. He was his youngest son and by a slave girl. He had three older brothers.

Used his skull as a drinking vessel. Well, at last I found a use for the dude. Guess he wasn't useless after all.
