The new issue of "History Lessons with Tamara Eidelman" is dedicated to the Vikings - the famous Scandinavian seafarers, their world, their travels, the sagas that told of their exploits, the skalds who sang the rapture of battle in their very complex and surprisingly exquisite verses, how the Viking campaigns began and how gradually the wild conquerors began to settle in new lands and peacefully coexist with those whom they first robbed. *** ADVERTISEMENT - Buy cheap air tickets on Aviasales: https://i.avs.io/1558ne LIST OF REFERENCES 1.
