The princess Olga, according to the Chronicle legend, after many years, Princess Olga took four revenges on the Dravlian couple for the murder of her husband, Prince Igor of Kiev, in the year 945. First revenge (burial in a boat): the Dravlian couple sent envoys to Olga with a proposal to marry Prince Mal. Olga ordered her men to carry the envoys directly into the boat in which they were seated, and threw them into a deep pit in her courtyard, burying them alive. Second revenge (fire in the bathhouse): Olga asked to send her "the best owners" new for honor. When the ambassadors arrived, she invited them to take a steam bath in the bathhouse from the road, and then set the bathhouse on fire from outside, burning everyone inside. Third revenge (massacre at the funeral banquet): Olga traveled to the land of the Dravlian couple, ostensibly to hold a mourning funeral for her husband. After intoxicating the Dravlians following the awakening, she ordered her squad to kill them. According to the chronicle, about 5,000 people died then. Fourth revenge (the trick with the birds and the burning of Iskorustan): Olga laid siege to the Dravlian capital – the city of Iskorustan. For a long time she could not take it, so she asked every courtyard to perform a tribute in the form of three doves and three sparrows. They tied fire dust and sulfur to the birds' feet and released them. The birds flew back to nests under the roofs of houses, and the city burned to the ground. Some of the inhabitants were killed, some were sold into slavery.
