Place of burial of Prince Oleg Svyatoslavich

Cozy park near the memorable place. Neat, clean. A good place to relax.

I liked that there is a table next to it - a historical reference. Burial place of Prince Oleg Svyatoslavovich. Ovruch. Zhytomyr region I will write at once that it is not the Oleg who died according to the legend "The Tale of Past Years" from his horse. What is the story here? The end of the 10th century. Svyatoslav had three sons-princes: Oleg, Yaropolk and Vladimir. Elder Yaropolk and Oleg were children of his first wife (a foreign princess). Vladimir is the son of Malusha. It was Volodymyr who would later christen Russia-Ukraine. Svyatoslav simultaneously distributed land to his sons from both marriages, and this is a sign that he considered both wives equal. Oleg - Ovruch. Vladimir - Novgorod. Yaropolka - Kyiv. The main voivode of Yaropolk was Sveneld. For several years everything was quiet. But in 975 Lut, Sveneld's son, went hunting in Oleg's possession and was killed by him. Then Sveneld, in order to avenge his son's death, began to incite Yaropolk against his brother, urging him to take away the Drevlya land. In the end, Sveneld's tricks worked: Yaropolk went to war with his brother. In 977, Oleg died young, defending his capital Ovruch. He dies accidentally during the storming of the castle on the bridge. In a panic, he was pushed into a ditch surrounding the fortress. To find Oleg's body, we had to dig out the corpses from morning till noon because the moat of Ovruch was flooded with human and horse corpses. That day Yaropolk realized what he had done ... He repented. He mourned his brother. He blamed Sveneld for Oleg's death. But it was too late. Volodymyr did not believe in Yaropolk's remorse, confessed to being a fratricide and, fearing for his life, went abroad, from where he returned 3 years later and overthrew Yaropolk. . . Oleg died young, he was about 20 years old. Nothing is known about his marriage and children. However, some late Czech sources of the XVI-XVII centuries. It is said that Oleg had a son who became the ancestor of the noble Moravian family of Zherotyn. In 1044, Yaroslav the Wise ordered to dig up Oleg's remains in Ovruch, baptize bones and bury them in the Tithe Church in Kyiv. And in Ovruch there is only a memorial sign about the first burial place of Prince Oleg of Ovruch.

I would like to share my impressions of the rest in this hotel. Pros. The place is cozy, small hotel and a homely atmosphere. Beautiful green area, swimming pools. We rested from 15.09 to 25.09. The sea is warm and transparent. There has always been a place on the beach. And this is really the first coastline, since it is 3 minutes from the room to the beach. Very positive staff. I would especially like to thank the grill bar chef and the organizer Mukam. His dances and jokes came with us to Ukraine. Minuses. Room cleaning is lame here. I had to ask, go to the reception, and sometimes just catch the maid. Also, the rooms have old air conditioners, which work poorly, to put it mildly. In general, I really liked the rest. Forever in love with the Mediterranean ...

This is a monument that stands on the burial place of Prince Oleg

This monument is first of all a historical place for all inhabitants of the city, I don't see in what there was a necessity to move it when free space for something new is actually quite enough.
