A little over a thousand years ago a Varangain prince decided became something of the Russian Version of King Arthur. He is credited with moving the capital of Rus from Novgorod the Great to Kiev and, in doing so, he laid the foundation of the powerful state of Kievan Rus. He also launched at least one attack on Constantinople, capital of the Byzantine Empire. Famously he had his shield hammered to the gates of Constantinople.

This unified and greatly expanded the country that would later become Russia.

He is known and celebrated as Oleg The Great and Oleg of Novgorod. His name has often been imparted to Russian military equipment, his blessing asked for in battle, and was even given to a light cruiser of the Tsar’s navy that was one of the few Russian naval ships decorated with glory in World War One.

To me his name is ably carried onward into the present by Mr Oleg Volk.

I have followed Mr Volk and his work for several years

His work is well known in the second amendment crowd and should be held up to everyone. If you have ever been to A Human Right then you have seen his wonderful educational posters

Oleg is an amazing photographer and has had his own site for quite some time.

He recently moved his blog over to a WordPress type.

Give it a look over, you will not be disappointed

Keep up the Good Work Mr Volk.

Incendentally, one of Oleg of Novgorod ‘s other names was Oleg the Prophet.

Again….I think Mr Volk is well named. With his work for the second amendent and groups like the Hellar Foundation, I am glad we have him on our side.
