Rus'-Byzantine War of 907

Years: 907 - 907

The Rus'-Byzantine War of 907 is associated in the Primary Chronicle with the name of Oleg of Novgorod.

The chronicle implies that it was the most successful military operation of the Rus against the Byzantine Empire.

Paradoxically, Greek sources do not mention it at all.

“History is important. If you don't know history it is as if you were born yesterday. And if you were born yesterday, anybody up there in a position of power can tell you anything, and you have no way of checking up on it.”

—Howard Zinn, You Can't Be Neutral ... (2004)
