Steel helmets and chain mail was also available to the people who raided the high class... There is a good reason for why the Vikings repeatedly smashed larger armies: The vikings had great gear, accumulated over centuries of raiding, while the armies they faced often consisted of poorly equipped and poorly trained soldiers.
Druzhina (retinue) of Rus Princes at the time was well known for being a disciplined, trained and exceptionally heavily armed force. A Rus prince would have a personal retinue of 300-400 hard warriors who trained their entire lives in warfare. Yes, they were the only ones to be able to afford the best arms and armour, but you can bet the warriors to be shown in the movie are that elite caste. An old Rus tradition (arguably inherited from their Scythian ancestry) was that a sword passed from father to son. It's not difficult to imagine that most families could scrounge up enough to completely equip a single warrior, and historically some princes even had enough horses to supply hundreds of raised levy soldiers with mounts, along with their personal retinue. Throw in the fact that Rus never featured peasantry as a class until well past 13th century, which meant any free man wanting to fight could join in a campaign and partake of the spoils. In Kievan Rus princes collected at most 5% tax, compared to an incredible 30% tax in, say, Britain at the time. This meant that Rus people accumulated and prospered over time, especially along the river trade routes. Kievan Rus was a rich, vast land with numerous, skilled people, leaving Kievan princes wanting for little else besides Kiev itself and immediate borders. Kievan Rus campaigns routinely featured insanely large armies of 50-80k soldiers and more often ended due to lack of provisions rather than a decisive defeat. Any time a Rus Prince managed to unify the land under one authority, there were successful campaigns that sizeably increased Rus lands. In short, a unified Kievan Rus was fucking terrifying, even the Byzantines feared it. Mongols were able to defeat a massive Rus force at Kalka river because the Princes attacked one by one and the force was scattered over a large area.
Holy shit is when a Catholic priest to marry two homosexual.. )) And this is a bloody story of the Russian Tsar. Russia forgot to ask you fool what kind of movies she take off her..
Early Middle Ages. Time heavy swords and dark blood laws. The ruling clan in contention. The blame for the accidental death of his brother lay on the Grand Duke. By law, he must avenge the younger brother - bastard. For refusing to kill him pay all that he had, because "for the world need more swords than war"
it's about rus' knyaz Vladimir the great who converted Russians to christianity. In those days Russians, Swedes and Finns had very close ties and mixed both ethnically and culturally, so when his older brother Yaropolk tried to kill him, Vladimir recruited a band of Varyags (Vikings) to help him retake his realm of Novgorod. In process he set the foundations for all modern Rus' nations - orthodox christianity upon slavic roots. The movie tries to tell his story.
What "russians", idiot? "Russians" is an invention of 18 century by Peter I of Romanovs. Germans who created "russian" history. Ruotsi, Ruthene, Rus is a historical name of Ukraine. As Black Rus is a historical name for polish Podlasie, White rus - Belarus and Rus(ruthenia, Red Ruthenia) is Ukraine. All 3 regions were a part of Recz Pospolita. They didnt relate to Grande Tartaria(Russia) in any way. Finno-ugric, saami, uralic people. Novgorod was mainly norman city. Only slavic tribe there was Radimichis. Moskals captured city later and slashed everyone. As they did with Smolensk and Pskov. The only cities where any Slavic or Viking population lived in a current territory of Russian Federation.

Viking (Russian: Викинг) is a 2016 historical action film by director Andrei Kravchuk, based on the historical document Primary Chronicle and Icelandic Kings' sagas. Screen International has called it Russia's Game of Thrones. The film stars Danila Kozlovsky (Vampire Academy, Hardcore Henry) and Svetlana Khodchenkova (The Wolverine, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy). The set and the scenery used in the production were used to create Russia’s first movie-based theme park, which opened in may of 2016 near the village of Perevalnoye, Crimea.
@@tagizademirasim nope. It is because all north nations have appearance similarities, because of the cold weather and absence of sun. Like south people look alike. Plus, yeah, be dirty, with dirty long bair and beard and you look like a viking 😀
I watched this movie here in Serbian part of Bosnia ( Republic of Srpska ) in cinemas, its really great. History of Russia in 10th century . War between brothers and how Russians accepted orthodox christianity! I recommended to everyone!
Movie about Saint prince Vladimir the Great, Equal to the Apostoles. He was bastard, have 5 wifes (same time) and (opinion) murder his prince - brother and figth with Rhomaioi. But than he became christian a christianisation russia. Epic guy. Sorry for poor English)
Just went home from a cinema, after watching "Viking". Overall impression mostly positive. Great atmosphere, strong acting, very immersive. However there are some weak spots and facepalm moments. Battle scenes are good, but not very massive. 7 of 10, because of atmosphere and overall quality. Not a masterpiece, but definitely worth watching.
Well...not only Hollywood can make good movies (which in more recent years they have done less and less). If this movie is as good as the trailer, it'll be awesome!
In Cast there are also actors from Sweden/Norway/Poland/Latvia/Canada(France?) and dialogues in swedish/norwegian also. I hope that it will be the Great Movie. cheers from Poland.
I was following with wikipedias informations, of course main language is russian but also some dialogues in swedish/norwegian exist. i guess between varangians warriors that's all mate. I know the history of Ruthenian slavic tribes like the rest of them and non-slavic people from our part of Europe of course. it's really amazing. Cheers m8
now this does look like real vikings i picture myself from wat i read... not the one with stylish tatoos nd funky hairstyles...fantasy.. wish to learn russian before i watch this movie..
I know it's propably late to answer this comment, but the movie realy isn't much about vikings. It's about russian ruler Vladimir I. which grew up among vikings and which is descendant of viking/varangian Rurik. Plot is about how he tries to get and hold power in Kievan Rus. Only viking thing about this movie is group of varangians, which aren't in the movie so much, but they are propably one of the most sympathetic and pragmatic group of vikings I've ever saw in any movie/show. ,,Roman gold reinforces morale.''
Best damn foreign Viking movie I have ever seen, and without Jew influence trying to add blacks or gays in it. Keep up the good work Russia, only problem I saw was the beginning, hard to figure out plot.

Olaf Tryggvason (960s - 1000) was King of Norway from 995 to 1000. He was the son of Tryggvi Olafsson, king of Viken (Vingulmark, and Rånrike), and, according to later sagas, the great-grandson of Harald Fairhair, first King of Norway. After a short scuffle Astrid (with her son) fled again. This time their destination was Gardarike (Kiev), where Astrid's brother Sigurd was in the service of King Valdemar (Vladimir I). Olaf was three years old when they set sail on a merchant ship for Novgorod. The journey was not successful: in the Baltic Sea they were captured by Estonian vikings, and the people aboard were either killed or taken as slaves. Olaf became the possession of a man named Klerkon, together with his foster father Thorolf and his son Thorgils. Klerkon considered Thorolf too old to be useful as a slave and killed him, and then sold the two boys to a man named Klerk for a ram. Olaf was then sold to a man called Reas for a fine cloak.[8] Six years later, Sigurd Eirikson traveled to Estonia to collect taxes for King Valdemar. He saw a boy who did not appear to be a native. He asked the boy about his family, and the boy told him he was Olaf, son of Tryggve Olafson and Astrid Eiriksdattir. Sigurd then went to Reas and bought Olaf and Thorgils out from slavery, and took the boys with him to Novgorod to live under the protection of Valdemar. Still according to Heimskringla, one day in the Novgorod marketplace Olaf encountered Klerkon, his enslaver and the murderer of his foster father. Olaf killed Klerkon with an axe blow to the head. A mob followed the young boy as he fled to his protector Queen Allogia, with the intent of killing him for his misdeed. Only after Allogia had paid blood money for Olaf did the mob calm down. As Olaf grew older, Vladimir made him chief over his men-at-arms, but after a couple years the king became wary of Olaf and his popularity with his soldiers. Fearing he might be a threat to the safety of his reign, Vladimir stopped treating Olaf as a friend. Olaf decided that it was better for him to seek his fortune elsewhere, and set out for the Baltic.
Yeahp, i agree with you 100%. You feel that these are real barbaric vikings. Unlike the series of Ragnar lothbrok. The actors are Americans. And they're too soft
Scandinavian sagas tell about how the future king of Norway Olaf I Tryggvason spent his childhood and youth in Novgorod. The mother of Olaf, Astrid, fled from the murderers of her husband Tryggvi of Olafsson to Novgorod to king Valdemar (Vladimir), who served her brother Sigurd, but on the way she was captured by robbers in Estonia. Sigurd, collecting taxes in Estonia by order of Vladimir, met randomly Olaf and bought him out of slavery. Olaf grew up under the patronage of Vladimir, was later taken into the army, where were popular among the soldiers
The film tells about the great Russian Prince Vladimir, who baptized Russia and became the father of Russia. Who does not know, between Rus and the Vikings were constant trade and military relations, as the Russian and the Vikings were the joint army of many princes, on this, the war at that time it was difficult in Russia to tell them apart, and called them Variag, and the film should be called Variag, but then it would not be understandable to Western audience, this was called the viking
This story about Vikings who lived in Russia on the trade route between Scandinavia and Byzantine Empire, they were called Varangians. They created the first Russian state (Kievan Rus) which later turned into Tsardom of Russia (Rurik dynasty) and the Russian Empire.
Senia Shtoff Some calls Ladoga not the city, or not even a "capital", but just place of landing with some buildings. The archeology never told us Ladoga was any big.
Last decade from Hollywood we are getting generic marvel-comocbook and tolkien crappy movies, no ideas and braindead, and now finally something historically and epic. Glory to God and mother Russia, greetings from Serbia!
The last time I had creeps on my back while watching a trailer was in '99 when I was 11 y.o. and The Matrix came out. Until today. Pozdrowienia z Polski
Expected some lame ass stereotypical action shit. Seems pretty good actually. We'll see when it comes out. Hooray for Russia taking over Hollywood, or anyone really. I do hope their monopoly in the movie industry dies because everything they make is shit nowadays.
I from Russia. I will clear up a little on historical aspect. The name of the movie "Viking" first of all is aimed at the western viewer as more habitual and the most acceptable for commercial hire in the countries of Europe and North America. Vikings of course were present at Ancient Russia, but governors and founders of the Russian state were Varangians(Varjagi). Varangians are the union of the South Baltic Slavic tribes living in the territory of modern northern Germany and it is possible in the territory of modern southern Sweden It is told about them in many medieval sources and chronicles of that time. Varangians were the most militant and super activist the Slavic union. Most likely their life and life has been closely bound with Normans (Vikings) and there were many mutually loans from each other. Therefore there is a certain similarity with Vikings. Varangians have united northeast Slavic tribes, fino-Ugrian, and then and southeast Slavic in the uniform state, having given it the name Rus (Russia). So Russia was born But many being mistaken, confuse these concepts, or proceeding from commercial expediency specially call Varangians Vikings. Have a nice watching. I apologize for bad English.
I think your explanation of the Primary Chronicle is not needed. Primary Chronicle is the earliest annals of Russia. As a contemporary of Harry Potter you can tell us about your vision of stories about Harry Potter :)
To me to spit on your sarcasm. Harry Potter is your prerogative. Study a question, and you will troll me then STY(ПВЛ) (story of temporary years) also doesn't disprove it, though itself is constructed on other sources. But it is confirmed also by other sources including Western European that time. Learn the Russian history, the mankurt) And that you has created the consciousness only sitting with popcorn in cinema halls with the American movies constructed on comics
There is a lot of proofs. By whom it is established that Rurik has come from Sweden? Read ancient records, historians and other medieval sources. Study better a question.
BULLSHIT you are either russian idiot Trump pro, stupid neonazi american Trump voter or an online propaganda-puppet of Trump. Trump have spoken for updating of usa's nuclear program, because it's a little older than the russian, you think he likes peace (of course you think, you are an idiot, it's rhetoric question)?
Fan Yechao I don't think so. Keep nuclear balance leads to one bomb - half hemisphere. Stop nuclear development as a movement of good will, and negotiation with the other side is the proper way which leads to peace. But what do you know about diplomacy fascist?

So, I just came from the cinema, watched Viking. To state it clear, usually I hate russian films. But Shit! I really loved this one!!! I even think about watching it once again in some days but then in 18+ format.
The Rus were the biggest and strongest 'viking' group. Glad to finally see a movie about them.
I guess theres a fine line between making it a documentary or entertaning

The mother of Olaf, Astrid, fled from the murderers of her husband Tryggvi of Olafsson to Novgorod to king Valdemar (Vladimir), who served her brother Sigurd, but on the way she was captured by robbers in Estonia. Sigurd, collecting taxes in Estonia by order of Vladimir, met randomly Olaf and bought him out of slavery. Olaf grew up under the patronage of Vladimir, was later taken into the army, where were popular among the soldiers
The soundtrack to the trailer alone is fkng epic
LOVE THIS FILM...
the ancient Rus(the vikings) also been to Polish lands.... that's how Stara basn was written.
я в шоке! НАУЧИЛИСЬ!!!
Сплюнь и по дереву постучи. Трейлеры-то хорошие снимаем, а вот фильмы... Выйдет вот тогда и скажем хорошо али плохо
Скачи отсюда , болезный.
Сглазил, блеадь.
к сожалению, нет
The film tells about the great Russian Prince Vladimir, who baptized Russia and became the father of Russia. Who does not know, between Rus and the Vikings were constant trade and military relations, as the Russian and the Vikings were the joint army of many princes, on this, the war at that time it was difficult in Russia to tell them apart, and called them Variag, and the film should be called Variag, but then it would not be understandable to Western audience, this was called the viking
This story about Vikings who lived in Russia on the trade route between Scandinavia and Byzantine Empire, they were called Varangians. They created the first Russian state (Kievan Rus) which later turned into Tsardom of Russia (Rurik dynasty) and the Russian Empire.
First Russian state was Novgorodian Rus, then they moved the capital closer to better trade routes and Byzantine Empire, in Kiev.
First Capital Varangians (Russians) it is Ladoga (Northern Russia)
Senia Shtoff Some calls Ladoga not the city, or not even a "capital", but just place of landing with some buildings. The archeology never told us Ladoga was any big.
Наш мощный фильм ура
Oh this looks a good movie!. I found it on my travels and thought..."Yup, the Russians make really cool historical epics...I'll get this film!".
Last decade from Hollywood we are getting generic marvel-comocbook and tolkien crappy movies, no ideas and braindead, and now finally something historically and epic.
Glory to God and mother Russia, greetings from Serbia!
Nothing wrong with LOTR and Hobbits tho..
Boy the movie sucks. I finished him right know with my dad and damn, the story telling is totally crap
@@opferradar3899 atleast the battles were far more believable than most jistorical movies about vikings
The lotr is one of , if not the best trilogy in movie making in my opinion.
This looks so good, I can't wait to watch the Fight scenes, this has me excited.
Wow. This looks awesome
The last time I had creeps on my back while watching a trailer was in '99 when I was 11 y.o. and The Matrix came out. Until today. Pozdrowienia z Polski
Try the 13th warrior
Parabéns, muito bom trailer!!!! Brazil here \o/ I hope the movie arrives soon
hopefully Ulfric Stormcloak win.... the true HighKing of the North
Zlatan is the real king of the north
STFU!!! Starks are the only true rulers of the north!
The horsemen popping out of threes with all that snow is really good filmography, in my pinion.
Cool !!! I Basically saw the whole movie watching this trailer : )
i love russian movies like stalingrad (2013) and hill 3234 awesome movies
I dont belived this is Russian movie , amazing,first klass,contratulations.
Man this movie looks good i hope it goes world wide so that i can watch it
Great film, gotta watch this one.
Expected some lame ass stereotypical action shit. Seems pretty good actually. We'll see when it comes out.
Hooray for Russia taking over Hollywood, or anyone really. I do hope their monopoly in the movie industry dies because everything they make is shit nowadays.
If it is as good as the trailer, I wonder if it will get any Oscars, and not only in the foreign film category, I highly doubt it
Justin Case Who cares about Oscars anymore, it's a joke. Look how long it took them to give one to Leo.
how will you see it?
***** With my eyes.
Hollywood has become a tool for brainwashing.
This looks epic.
love that music
it gave me a chill
I wish I could see all of slavic nations united
You're not the unique who wish it
gypsies united you mean lmao
@@eldartemujin5840 Gypsies Are Descendants Of Indian Dalits
I LOVE RUSSIAN
Yoooo one of the most badass trailer ive ever seen !!
this movie beat collateral beauty in the box office. great job director writer everybody who worked on this film.
I from Russia. I will clear up a little on historical aspect. The name of the movie "Viking" first of all is aimed at the western viewer as more habitual and the most acceptable for commercial hire in the countries of Europe and North America.
Vikings of course were present at Ancient Russia, but governors and founders of the Russian state were Varangians(Varjagi).
Varangians are the union of the South Baltic Slavic tribes living in the territory of modern northern Germany and it is possible in the territory of modern southern Sweden
It is told about them in many medieval sources and chronicles of that time.
Varangians were the most militant and super activist the Slavic union.
Most likely their life and life has been closely bound with Normans (Vikings) and there were many mutually loans from each other. Therefore there is a certain similarity with Vikings.
Varangians have united northeast Slavic tribes, fino-Ugrian, and then and southeast Slavic in the uniform state, having given it the name Rus (Russia). So Russia was born
But many being mistaken, confuse these concepts, or proceeding from commercial expediency specially call Varangians Vikings. Have a nice watching. I apologize for bad English.
I think your explanation of the Primary Chronicle is not needed. Primary Chronicle is the earliest annals of Russia. As a contemporary of Harry Potter you can tell us about your vision of stories about Harry Potter :)
To me to spit on your sarcasm. Harry Potter is your prerogative. Study a question, and you will troll me then
STY(ПВЛ) (story of temporary years) also doesn't disprove it, though itself is constructed on other sources. But it is confirmed also by other sources including Western European that time.
Learn the Russian history, the mankurt) And that you has created the consciousness only sitting with popcorn in cinema halls with the American movies constructed on comics
А,так-ты же русский знаешь) Шифруешься здесь.Могу и манкурту объяснить аргументированно.
What evidence do you have to support this? That Varangians came from Polabia? It is established that Rurik came from Sweden.
There is a lot of proofs. By whom it is established that Rurik has come from Sweden? Read ancient records, historians and other medieval sources. Study better a question.
This looks pretty good !!
I love this movie
EXELENT MOVIE!!
looks amazing 👍
Let's hope Donald Trump wins so we get to see this movie rather than have a nuclear war
BULLSHIT you are either russian idiot Trump pro, stupid neonazi american Trump voter or an online propaganda-puppet of Trump. Trump have spoken for updating of usa's nuclear program, because it's a little older than the russian, you think he likes peace (of course you think, you are an idiot, it's rhetoric question)?
***** The opposite
keep nuclear balance is keen to peace
Fan Yechao I don't think so. Keep nuclear balance leads to one bomb - half hemisphere. Stop nuclear development as a movement of good will, and negotiation with the other side is the proper way which leads to peace. But what do you know about diplomacy fascist?
Kati Reei lol, if I can raid you, why do I make peace with you? Peace is build on a balance of power which keep thugs away
looks amazing
Looks impressive. Hope they release a version with English subs.
Очень хорошо,что у нас стали снимать такие фильмы.Тем более,что этот фильм снят как историческая хроника.История земель,на которых мы живем,всегда будет интересна.Россия великая страна с не менее богатой многовековой историей.
this....is epic ... man....WO..... its blown my mind
I bought this film recently and really enjoyed it. Tip, watch it in the original 'bad ass' Russian, not the over dubbed American-English option.
Need to see it!!
прекрасный фильм
can`t wait to see this, a movie without the western political correctness protocol should be awesome. A long lost melancholic to our past.

Greetings from Sweden!
"Russians" is an invention of 18 century by Peter I of Romanovs. Germans who created "russian" history.
Ruotsi, Ruthene, Rus is a historical name of Ukraine. As Black Rus is a historical name for polish Podlasie, White rus - Belarus and Rus(ruthenia, Red Ruthenia) is Ukraine. All 3 regions were a part of Recz Pospolita. They didnt relate to Grande Tartaria(real name of Russia before 1721) in any way. Finno-ugric, saami, uralic people. Novgorod was norman city. Only slavic tribe there was Radimichis. Moskals captured city later and slashed everyone. As they did with Smolensk and Pskov. The only cities where any Slavic or Viking population lived in a current territory of Russian Federation.
Please, tell me that this movie will come with subtitles in English!? It looks amazing!

So, I just came from the cinema, watched Viking. To state it clear, usually I hate russian films. But Shit! I really loved this one!!! I even think about watching it once again in some days but then in 18+ format.
