A statue of St.
Olga is a much-loved figure in central Kyiv in Ukraine.
So much so that when Russia invaded Ukraine, the statue was given a flak jacket with the words, She needs armor, written on it.
St.
Olga of Kyiv is celebrated by Ukrainians and Russians alike.
She's a saint in both the Catholic and Orthodox churches, and her Saint's Day is celebrated on 11th of July.
BBC Ukrainian's Irena Taranyuk has been exploring her sometimes violent history.
So, Irena, you actually share a birthday with Olga's Saint Day.
Were you supposed to be called Olga as well?
You know, it's funny that you should ask that.
I didn't know until very recently that 11th of July is Saint Olga's Day.
