Persona

Persona Background: 10th century Viking Rus. Nadezhda was born 920 AD in Gnezdovo, Staritskiy rayon, Tverskaya Oblast, Russia. Daughter of Voron Vatislavl’ (Slavic Krivichi) and Katarina Laurens dotter (Varangian). See Wikipedia article on Krivichs tribe: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krivichs.

Geographical Location: Gnezdovo was a Slavic-Varangian settlement which flourished in the 10th century as a major trade station on the Varangian-Byzantine trade route, geographically speaking from the Baltic to the Black Sea connecting Scandinavia, Kievan Rus, and the Byzantine Empire. The settlement was located near modern day Smolensk. See Wikipedia article on Gnezdovo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnezdovo.

Historical Context: Kiev, 950 AD. Following the death of her husband Igor in 945, Olga is ruling Kiev until her son, Sviatslov, is old enough to assume leadership. Olga travels extensively, including a trip to Byzantium where she is baptized in Greek Orthodoxy. Her attempts to convert Kievan Rus to Christianity, however, fail and the people remain predominantly pagan. There is also evidence that women could enter into contracts, purchase land, and in general to varying degrees have autonomous access to money and property during this period. This was particularly true for women with access to wealth and an acceptable reason for lacking a husband – widows or nuns. Moreover, women seem to have not been secluded to the extent that became customary in many parts of Europe.
