History

Since the times of Kyivan Rus, Malyn, named after the local prince Mal, has been
the eastern outpost of the ancient tribe of Drevlians, which rebelled against Kyivan
Prince Igor. Furious with the death of her husband Prince Igor at the hands of the
Drevlians, Princess Olga brutally avenged the city and enslaved the Drevlian
nobles. However, even now in the city you can see the remains of the ancient
settlement of VII-IX centuries.
