Slavs and Vikings: Medieval Russia and the Origins of the Kievan Rus

The new Kings and Generals animated historical documentary series will cover the history of Russia, starting with the ancient origins of the Slavs, formation of the early Eastern Slavic states, how the Varyag (Varangians) Vikings led by Rurik took over these states and started to expand towards Byzantium and the Khazars.

We know that we start too many series, but this is the last new one for some time - decided to finish the ongoing ones and then start the new series.

In Poland they say: Gość w dom, Bóg w dom (a guest at home is god at home).

Law of hospitality is still upheld in all slavic lands!

[vladimirskala]

Law of hospitality reminds me of an old Slovak saying: Host do domu, Boh do domu (Guest in the house, God in the house).

I really appreciate the fact that you represent clothing, religion and old cultures in an historically accurate way. The traditional clothing of the people you represent in your videos is always on point!
