It has long frustrated me that so many historians, Ukrainian and otherwise, seem to accept so "blindly" the medieval records of early Kyivan Rus' (the first state on Ukrainian and eastern European lands).  By "blindly" I mean that obvious inconsistencies within the earliest chronicles are parroted as if they were set in stone, without any critical examination and without searching for possible alternate sources.  I have long had an interest in Ihor, my royal namesake of the 10th century (Ihor derives from Ingvar, which derives from Inger(t)), and over several years have researched and compiled his biography as well as biographies of his wife, Olha, and son, Sviatoslav.  Together they form medieval Ukraine's first "First Family."
