Prophetic Oleg is one of the most mysterious figures in Russian history. Who did he relate to Rurik, did he go to Constantinople, and, finally, what kind of his death “beyond the sea” do Russian chronicles mention - all these questions have yet to be answered.

Founder of the Old Russian state

Prince Oleg, who, being either a relative of Rurik (more precisely, the brother of his wife Efanda), or his governor, during his reign did much more to form the Old Russian state than its legendary founder. When Igor (Ryurik's son) was young, he captured Smolensk and Lyubech, deceived and killed the Kiev princes Askold and Dir, who had usurped power there. Under him, Kyiv became the new residence of the Old Russian state. Oleg's sovereignty was recognized by the Polans, Northerners, Drevlyans, Ilmen Slovenes, Krivichi, Vyatichi, Radimichi, Ulich and Tivertsy. Through his governors and local princes, he managed to lay the state administration of the young country.

His successes in foreign policy were also considerable. While fighting the Khazars, Oleg made the latter forget that for two centuries the Khazar Khaganate had been collecting tribute from the East Slavic lands. The great Tsargrad (Constantinople) bowed his head before his army, and Russian merchants received the unique right for that time of duty-free trade with Byzantium, and, if necessary, full provision of food and shipbuilders to repair their boats.

Given all the above merits, some historians tend to see the founder of the Old Russian state in Oleg, and not in his predecessor and the ancestor of the princely dynasty - Rurik. The conditional date of foundation, in this case, is considered to be 882, or rather the unification of Slavia (Novgorod) and Kuyaba (Kyiv).

The trip that wasn't there

Oleg's famous campaign against Constantinople deserves special mention, after which he received his historical nickname - "Prophetic". According to The Tale of Bygone Years, the prince equipped an army of 2,000 boats, 40 warriors each. The Byzantine emperor Leo VI the Philosopher, in fear of a numerous enemy, ordered the gates of the city to be closed, leaving the suburbs of Constantinople to be devastated.

However, Oleg went to the trick: “he ordered his soldiers to make wheels and put ships on wheels. And when a favorable wind blew, they raised sails in the field and went to the city. After that, supposedly scared to death, the Greeks offered peace and tribute to the conquerors. According to the peace treaty of 907, Russian merchants received the right to duty-free trade and other privileges.

Despite the fact that the mention of this campaign can be found in any manual on the history of medieval Russia, many historians consider it a legend. There is not a single mention of him by Byzantine authors, who described in detail similar raids in 860 and 941. The treaty of 907 itself also raises doubts, which, according to researchers, is a compilation of similar agreements from 911, when Oleg sent an embassy in order to confirm the peace.

Moreover, the description of the return of the Rus with rich booty: even the sails on their boats were made of golden silk, is compared with the return of the voivode Vladimir from Constantinople, and after the Norwegian king - Olaf Tryggvason, described in the Norwegian saga of the 12th century: “They say, after one great victory he turned home to Gardy (Rus); they sailed then with such great splendor and splendor that they had sails on their ships of precious materials, and so were their tents.

Was there a snake?

According to the legend described in The Tale of Bygone Years, the prince was predicted to die from his beloved horse. Oleg ordered to take him away and remembered the ominous prophecy only a few years later, when he died long ago. Laughing at the Magi, he wanted to look at the bones of the horse, and, standing with one foot on the skull, he said: “Should I be afraid of him?” At the same moment, a snake crawled out of the skull, fatally biting the prince.

Of course, this is just a legend, written down several centuries after Oleg's death. The legendary prince-governor - a legendary death. A similar technique, which was often used in other countries of medieval Europe, gave the historical figure even more importance in the eyes of posterity. Moreover, often different authors used the same story. So, in one Icelandic saga, the Viking Orvard Odd is told, who, even in his youth, was predicted to die from his horse. In order to prevent fate from happening, Odd killed the animal, threw it into a pit, and covered the corpse with stones. As a result, death in the face of a poisonous snake overtook him, like Oleg, on the grave of a dead horse: “And when they walked quickly, Odd hit his foot and bent down. “What was it, what did I hit my foot on?” He touched the point of the spear, and everyone saw that it was the skull of a horse, and immediately a snake flew out of it, rushed at Odd and stung him in the leg above the ankle. The poison immediately acted, the whole leg and thigh swelled up.

To date, it has not been established who borrowed the original idea from whom. It is rather difficult to establish the exact date of the story of Oleg's death in The Tale of Bygone Years, since the annals have been rewritten more than once. It is only known that Orvard Odd, unlike Oleg, is a fictional hero of an adventure saga created on the basis of oral traditions later than the 13th century. Perhaps the sad death in the face of a snake is originally a Scandinavian story that came to Russia along with the Varangians and received its new incarnation in local legends about Oleg. Although, some researchers believe that the hero of the Scandinavian sagas Orvard Odd and Oleg are one and the same person.

Persian epic

The Tale of Bygone Years is not the only source for his biography. The first Novgorod chronicle, which, according to some researchers, is even older than the work of Nestor, calls Oleg a governor under the young prince Igor, who accompanied him on campaigns. At the same time, it was Prince Igor who dealt with Askold in Kyiv, and then undertook a campaign against Constantinople. But the most interesting thing is the end of the story. In addition to the generally accepted version with a snake bite, the chronicle mentions another version of Oleg's death - "beyond the sea."

More detailed information about the unknown, "overseas" campaign of Oleg, where he may have met his death, should be sought in the writings of the Arab author Al-Masudi, who reported on a Rus fleet of 500 ships that invaded the Kerch Strait approximately after 912. Al-Masudi mentions two great rulers of the Rus at the head - Al-dir and a certain Olvang. The latter is usually associated with Askold, but this name can equally well bear resemblance to Oleg, the winner of Askold and Dir.

The Khazar king, who was promised half of the booty for loyalty, allegedly allowed the Rus to pass through the Don to the Volga, and from there descend into the Caspian Sea. The ultimate goal of the Rus was Persia. The result of the campaign was the ruin of Persian Azerbaijan. Part of the booty, as it was supposed to be under the contract, was delivered to Khazaria. But the guards of the Khazar king, which consisted mainly of Muslim mercenaries, rebelled and demanded revenge for the death of fellow believers. The ruler did not argue with them, nor did he warn the Rus of the danger. They entered into an unequal battle, as a result of which about 30 thousand Slavs died, and the rest retreated up the Volga, where they were killed by the Bulgars.

Together with the army, their leader also died. Some historians believe that the “death across the sea” mentioned in the Novgorod version is a vague but true memory of the death of Oleg precisely in the Caspian campaign, and not in the territory of the Ladoga settlement from “from his horse”.

8.2. The sorcerer's prediction to Oleg the "prophetic" and its ancient strategic political and historical meaning

8.2. The sorcerer's prediction to Oleg the "prophetic" and its ancient strategic political and historical meaning

As you know, after the calling of the Varangian brothers led by Rurik (in 862) to reign in Veliky Novgorod, after the death of Rurik, for some time, the guardian of his heir, the young prince Igor, was Oleg, who was given the nickname "Prophetic" in history. And historians recognize Oleg's special contribution to the formation of statehood in Russia as a system of managing the affairs of society on a professional basis in general and locally - "elitist" statehood.

But along with the recognition of Oleg's contribution, the chronicles report that a certain sorcerer predicted his death from his horse specifically. After listening to the prediction, Oleg (who did not turn out to be prophetic in relation to this prediction) ordered to change the horse, and graze his former horse, take care of him and not bother him with work. The order of the prince-regent was carried out. And after some time, Oleg was informed that his horse was dead. Oleg laughed at both the prediction and the sorcerer. And after some time, Oleg decided to look at the bones of the horse, perhaps because some memories associated with the horse were significant to him. The remains of the horse lying in the field were shown to Oleg, and when the prince leaned his foot on the horse's skull, a snake crawled out of the skull, which bit Oleg, as a result of which he died.

In the 19th century, A.S. Pushkin gave this episode of ancient history almost nationwide fame by writing the poem “The Song of the Prophetic Oleg” (1822), which for more than a century has been included in all school textbooks of the Russian language and literature.

And when the teacher explains to the student the meaning of the word "prophetic", many students ask themselves a question, the meaning of which can be expressed in words: But how did the “prophetic” Oleg get into this self-destruction algorithm?

Neither historians nor literary critics give an answer to this PRINCIPAL question.

In reality, this prediction was an expression of the activity of one of the priests of ancient Russia, who was the bearer of the human type of mental structure. The historical episode, of which the sorcerer's prediction to Oleg is a part, is the case when the great is expressed in the small, to use the terminology of the Hermetists.

Oleg - received the nickname "prophetic" not without reason, that is, he really foresaw something in the future, but he was - DEMONIC-prophetic, those. lived and acted on the basis of the demonic type of mental structure . It was precisely because of his demonism that he did not take the sorcerer's prediction as a warning, but laughed at him, but nevertheless, out of superstition, he decided to take measures to avoid the realization of the prediction in life, instead of rethinking his past deeds and intentions for the future and change yourself.

It was precisely because of this that he could not get out of the self-destruction algorithm in which he lived and what the sorcerer directly pointed out to him, as a result of which the prediction regarding him personally and was automatically fulfilled. Another demon, V.S. Vysotsky, also did not understand this algorithm and its moral and ethical conditionality, and therefore, having distorted Pushkin's plot, he ridiculed Oleg as well, and mocked the sorcerer in one of his songs. But in the circles of the demonic “elite” of the Soviet stagnant society, with his song, he activated the algorithm of its self-destruction and pumped it up energetically, for which, in general, one can say thanks to him.

But to understand the non-personal aspect of this prediction - programs for the further development of Russia, - it must be remembered that in the allegories of the crowd-“elitist” culture, power is likened to a rider, and the rest of society is like a horse. Since we are not talking about power in general, but about “elitist” power, acting on the basis of the “right of force”, then in this system of metaphors, the “elite” is the horseman, and the rest of the crowd is the horse. It is this meaning that all equestrian statues of rulers around the world express.

Accordingly, on a scale not personal (in it, the prediction of the sorcerer has long been fulfilled), but on the scale of the history of society - the prediction of the sorcerer to Oleg can be expressed not allegorically, but directly like this: Oleg, the "elite" in Russia, whose power you initiated, will die from the crowd, over which she tries to dominate.

And the real fulfillment of the prophecy in relation to Oleg personally revealed some of the sorcerer's silences, which can be expressed as follows: The crowd will also go into historical non-existence (the horse, having finished his life, died when Oleg was still in good health), but the “elite” will not be killed by the crowd, as such, but by some kind of poisonous “snake”.

The last circumstance also needs to reveal its symbolism: The snake devouring its tail is one of the main symbols of Freemasonry. In the case under consideration, it crawls out of the intellectually dead head of the crowd, i.e. from the "elite" itself, which claims to be the head of the people in the crowd-"elitist" culture.

And this Judeo-Masonic "snake" has bitten the Russian "elite" more than once throughout history. If we do not go into the behind-the-scenes background of the turmoil of the beginning of the 17th century, but only touch on the last two centuries, then:

Half of the Decembrists involved in the case were Freemasons - representatives of the self-satisfied and arrogant ruling "elite".

The “elitist”-Masonic conspiracy plunged the Russian Empire into the First World War of the 20th century, during which the sabotage of the Freemasonry “elite” created the prerequisites for the Purim-February coup d’état of 1917.

All but one of the members of the Provisional Government of the first composition, which came to state power as a result of this coup, were Freemasons.

But there was also a conspiracy within a conspiracy, as a result of which the bourgeois-Masonic regime was replaced by a Marxist-Masonic one, which embodied the architecture of the structure of the system of Masonic lodges into the structure of the party-state apparatus of power in the USSR.

The USSR collapsed with the assistance of the Freemasonry and Freemason (on the basis of common morals and worldview) "elite" of Soviet society.

Post-Soviet Russia is going through a protracted and unsolvable crisis within the framework of the biblical concept of the inability to organize state administration and the life of society in accordance with common Western Masonic standards.

Is this not proof that the Jewish Masonic "snake" is biting its own tail?

But the people are not the common people + the "elite" (according to the organization of their collective psyche, the "elite" is also a crowd, but more lured than the common people). The people are citizens in Nekrasov's sense, united by the common ideals of civilization building.

The sorcerer, having issued a prediction to the “prophetic” Oleg, thereby launched an algorithm for the social development of Russia - embracing in relation to the prediction that was issued personally to Oleg the “prophetic” as one of the leaders and founders of the “elite”, who claimed their exclusive power over society. And this algorithm, localized within the primordial civilization of Russia, had and has support from Above in the global algorithm of the development of the current civilization of mankind.

Firstly, at the very beginning of the crisis of Russia, the original Koran was sent down to the people of another region of the Earth, the sociology of which is identical to the principles of organizing the self-government of society in the Russian multinational civilization.

Secondly, already during the crisis of Russia, some of the peoples who were to enter its composition in the future history converted to Islam, as a result of which the Koran became the property of the culture of the Russian multinational civilization. And the Koran has everything so that thinking and conscientious people can launch an alternative globalization project to the biblical one - the project of building a civilization of humanity.

In addition, and - this is the main thing - throughout the history of overcoming the crisis by Russia, its priests lived among the people, did not degrade into healers, continued to be active, conceptually powerful and worked on the algorithm for transforming Russia from the original into the future multinational Russia global.

Their life position was expressed by A.S. Pushkin with the words “Songs about the “prophetic” Oleg”, which in essence is a “Song-hint about the Holy Russian priesthood”:

Magi are not afraid of mighty lords,

And they do not need a princely gift,

Truthful and free is their prophetic language

And friendly with the Will of Heaven …

If we understand what conceptual power is, then we can see that the recognition of this fact is also evidenced in the “elitist” culture of the Russian Empire. One of the aphorisms of the historian V.O. Klyuchevsky - the end of the 19th century - reads: "In Russia, the center is on the periphery": i.e. the capital is de jure in some circumstances less powerful than a commoner from the periphery . This remark is about the preservation of conceptual power among the people in Russia more than a millennium after the issuance of the prediction to Oleg the “prophetic”.

In the twentieth century, this was expressed in the phenomenon of Bolshevism and the conceptual power of I.V. Stalin, as well as many ordinary party and non-party Bolsheviks. And the very fact that you are reading this text in Russian and the Concept of public security as a whole is also expressed in modern Russian is another confirmation that the sorcerer's prediction to Oleg the "prophetic" is not empty words, and not a groundless fairy tale.
