Scythian battle with the Slavs

The artist is Vasnetsov

In a fierce battle, a Russian knight on a black horse with a steppe rider collided – this moment will be struck by a decisive blow … The artist devotes his to the earliest years of our land, the period of education of Kievan Rus. In ancient chronicles, the raids of nomads on the Transdrian lands were called the struggle of Rus’ “with the steppe”. Vasnetsov involuntarily admits historical inaccuracy. Since at the end of the 19th century it was not yet known that the Scythians lived for several hundred years early and could not meet with the Slavs.
