  Korosten (Iskorosten): small town with a great history
When Olga was informed that the Drevlians had arrived she summoned them to her presence with a gracious welcome.
When the Drevlians arrived, Olga commanded that a bath should be made ready, and invited them to appear before her after they had bathed.
The Drevlians re-entered their city with gladness, and when they had reported to the inhabitants, the people of the town rejoiced and collected from each house three pigeons and three sparrows, which they sent to Olga with their greetings.

 Saints Preserve Us!
When the Drevlian ambassadors arrived and told Olga that Igor was dead, she welcomed them graciously and spared no hospitality.
Amazingly suppressing her rage, Olga replied that the Drevlian's proposal was pleasing to her, admitting that Igor cannot rise from the dead.
As soon as the Drevlians had left, Olga instructed her servants to dig a deep ditch.

 Drevlyans
The Drevlians (Древляне, Drevlyane in Russian; Деревляни, Derevliany in Ukrainian) were a tribe of Early East Slavs between the 6th and the 10th century, which inhabited the territories of Polesia, Right-bank Ukraine west of Polans, down the stream of the rivers Teteriv, Uzh, Ubort, and Stviga.
The Drevlians left many archaeological traces, such as agricultural settlements with semi-dugouts (or earth-houses), moundless burial grounds and barrows, fortified towns like Vruchiy (today's Ovruch), Gorodsk, site of an ancient settlement near Malin (supposedly, a residence of the Drevlian prince Mal) and others.
The last mentioning of the Drevlians was in a chronicle of 1136, when their lands were given as a gift to the Church of the Tithes by Yaropolk Vladimirovich.

 RAMBAUD ON THE KIEVAN RUS' PRINCIPALITY UNDER VLADIMIR AND YAROSLAV
Only while Clovis after his baptism is not perceptibly better than he was before, and becomes the assassin of his royal Frankish relations, the Russian annalist seems to wish to establish a contrast between the life led by Vladimir prior to his conversion and the life he led after it.
Nestor's account of the death of Igor is a lively picture of the political customs of the time; we might imagine ourselves reading a page of Gregory of Tours about the sons of Clovis, for example the expedition of Thierry in Arvernia.
The Drevlians, when they learnt that Igor was returning, held council with Mal their prince.

According to legend, the Drevlian Prince Pal wanted to marry Princess Olga and sent twenty of his best men to her.
Olga then sent messages to the Drevlians saying that if they really wanted her there then they should send their distinguished men to her so that she could go to the prince in due honor.
Then Olga told the Drevlians that she was coming and to prepare a great feast with a lot of mead in the town where her husband was killed so that she could mourn for him and hold a funeral.

On the West, Drevlians' territories reached the Sluch River, where the Volynians (related to the territory of Volynia) and Buzhans (related to the name of Bug river) lived.
The principal city of the Drevlians was Iskorosten (today's Korosten), where one can still see a group of compact ancient settlements.
According to a number of chronicles, in the times of Kyi, Schek and Khoriv (supposedly, founders of Kiev) the Drevlians had their own princely rule and were frequently at war with the Polans.

 The Baldwin Project: Historical Tales: Russian by Charles Morris
The Drevlians, driven to extremity, came with arms instead of gold, attacked the king and his few followers, and killed the whole of them upon the spot.
So they took up on their shoulders the barks, in which the Drevlians proudly sat like kings on their thrones, and carried them to the front of the house in which Olga awaited them with smiling lips but ruthless heart.
Olga's revenge was far from being complete: her thirst for blood grew as it was fed. She returned to Kief, collected her army, took her young son with her that he might early learn the art of war, and returned inspired by the rage of vengeance to the land of the Drevlians.

 A History of the Russian Church
The first mention of the Rus or Ros people occurs in seventh century Arab chronicles, describing them as a warlike nation with an eye for trade.
The Viking Rus ruled over a number of Eastern Slav tribes - the Drevlians, the Radomichi, the Severians and the Vyatichi, introducing Scandinavian customs and military retainers and organizing the occasional raid on Byzantium.
By the time of the earliest Russian literature in the eleventh century it had become clear that these erstwhile Viking rulers had adopted the medieval Slav language, while Scandinavian names now became recognizably Slav: Vladimir (the Viking Valdamar), Olga (Helga), Igor (Ingvar).
