reBROADcast: Olga of Kyiv - The OG Boss Queen of Ukraine

This week, Sara brings back the story of Olga of Kyiv: The Viking Warrior Queen who orchestrated one of the most prolonged, bloody revenge strategies of all time before expanding trade (putting the Kyivan Rus on the map), tricking Emperor Constantine VII, converting to Christianity and spreading the faith so successfully that she was canonized the Patron Saint of Widows and Converts.

This is the OG Boss Queen of Ukraine and her story is so epic that it served as a basis for some of your favorite moments on Game of Thrones. If you haven't heard of Olga, or even if you remember her from when this episode first aired in 2020, listen again and be transported to one of the most spectacular origin stories of Ukraine.
