Thanks

I should have researched it more before posting my 1st comment – Vladimir, indeed, had a lot of concubines before he became Orthodox Christian.

Hi Mark, In your Russian Rulers Lecture, you said that Duke Vladimir had 600 concubines. I just was wondering how is that possible?
If a man to have 600 concubines, lets say he has totally nothing to do and wants to spend time with a different one each day, it is going to take him full 2 years to get from 1st concubine to 600th concubine!!! So it seems NOT possible, physically, emotionally and economically for Vladimir to have 600 concubines, especially in Russia more than 1000 years ago!! Besides he was young when he married Olga and became ROC.
Can you, please, let me know the source of that information? I would like to study it in more detail.
Also, have you ever had access to Russian historical archives?
Thank you
Irina
