Святослав 3/3 (Sviatoslav- warrior prince of Kievan Rus)

In 967 or 968 Nicephorus sent to Sviatoslav his agent, Kalokyros, with the task of talking Sviatoslav into assisting him in a war against Bulgaria. Sviatoslav was paid 15,000 pounds of gold and set sail with an army of 60,000 men, including thousands of Pecheneg mercenaries
Sviatoslav defeated the Bulgarian ruler Boris II and proceeded to occupy the whole of northern Bulgaria. Meanwhile, the Byzantines bribed the Pechenegs to attack and besiege Kiev, where Olga stayed with Sviatoslav's son Vladimir. The siege was relieved by the druzhina of Pretich, and immediately following the Pecheneg retreat, Olga sent a reproachful letter to Sviatoslav. He promptly returned and defeated the Pechenegs, who continued to threaten Kiev.
Sviatoslav refused to turn his Balkan conquests over to the Byzantines, and the parties fell out as a result. To the chagrin of his boyars and mother (who died within three days after learning about his decision), Sviatoslav decided to move his capital to Pereyaslavets in the mouth of the Danube due to the great potential of that location as a commercial hub. In the Primary Chronicle record for 969, Sviatoslav explains that it is to Pereyaslavets, the centre of his lands, "all the riches flow: gold, silks, wine, and various fruits from Greece, silver and horses from Hungary and Bohemia, and from Rus furs, wax, honey, and slaves".
In summer 969, Sviatoslav left Rus' again, dividing his dominion into three parts, each under a nominal rule of one of his sons. At the head of an army that included Pecheneg and Magyar auxiliary troops, he invaded Bulgaria again, devastating Thrace, capturing the city of Philippopolis, and massacring its inhabitants. Niceforus responded by fortifying the defenses of Constantinople and raising new squadrons of armored cavalry. In the midst of his preparations, Niceforus was overthrown and killed by John Tzimiskes, who thus became the new Byzantine emperor.

@CyclonBee Название например Франции на французском звучит по другому но мы называя их так не оскорбляем тем самым французов.Другое дело если кто либо намеренно искажает название страны с негативным оттенком.Я конечно понимаю что Россия это греческое слово но так назвали нашу страну при Петре 1 и буду не против если название сменят на Русь но пока страна называеться Россия

@DarTantidag По-вашему Раша - это не оскорбление?

[DarTantidag]

@CyclonBee Это было не обзывательство а а название нашего края от слова Русь (Ρωσία на греческом) негативного оттенка это название не имело

[CyclonBee]

@DarTantidag Россией греки обзывали Русь. Те самые греки, с которыми воевал насмерть Святослав.
