Viking blood... and trees grow on the stones. Vronsky Yu.P.

Historical stories about the adventures of Kukshi from the Domovichi became the basis for the famous film "And trees grow on stones." The adventures of the Kukshi - the Varangian captive, then the slave, the thief, and then the royal guardsman in Constantinople - is unusual, but the tongue does not turn to call them incredible. Yu. P. Vronsky composed the story in such a way that you willingly believe in its events arising from one of the other. It is pleasant to understand that the son of Konung, a comrade in games and twist kukshi, the boy Harald will become the great Norwegian king Harald Grand -haired, and the daring sea robbers Vikings Haskuld, the Tyr and Roeror in our history are called princes Rurik, Ascold and Deer.
