Olga of Kiev – Saint, Strategist, and Savage

In this episode of The History AI Podcast, Chuck and Marco explore the life of Olga of Kiev—the 10th-century ruler who redefined what it meant to be both feared and revered.From avenging her husband’s brutal death with some of the most legendary acts of revenge in history—think buried ambassadors, fiery bathhouses, and firebombing a city with pigeons—to becoming the first Christian ruler of the Kievan Rus, Olga’s story is one of contradictions. She was both a ruthless strategist and a canonized saint, shaping the destiny of Eastern Europe for centuries to come.Stay tuned after the episode for a special treat: the original song “Olga’s Fire.” 🔥🎶👉 Links to everything (socials, merch, and more): https://linktr.ee/thehistoryaipodcastIf you enjoyed this episode, don’t forget to subscribe, share, and leave us a 5-star review—it helps the podcast grow and keeps history alive for curious minds everywhere.
