    • Probably of Slavic descent, St. Olga was considered a peasant when shemarried Igor, the Grand Duke of Kiev, Russia. During a campaign againstthe Drevlianians in the year 945, Igor was assassinated. Since thecouple's son, Svyatoslav, was too young to rule, Olga served as regentand eventually effected revenge against the Drevlianians for herhusband's death. The details of this effort are described in theChronicle of Nestor.

      Olga is given high praise for her courage and ability as a ruler, and forinstituting administrative and fiscal reforms throughout the realm. Sheadditionally hastened her country's recovery from the destructive warsthat had devastated the land during her husband's reign. She was thefirst of Russian ruler to be baptized a Christian, in 957.

      Upon Olga's death in 969, her pagan son honored her request and gave hera Christian burial. She was soon regarded as a saint and is honored inthe Russian and Ukranian Churches, her saint-day is the 11th of July.Because her conversion took place before the schism, she is also regardedas a saint of the universal Catholic Church.

      Olga did not live to see the conversion of Russia, but has thedistinction of being the grandmother of St. Vladimir, who effected theChristianization of his people. [2]
