10th-century people from Kievan Rus'

Viking princess

Malusha Malkovna () was allegedly an enslaved handmaiden (kholopka) for Olga of Kiev and a concubine of Sviatoslav I of Kiev. According to chronicles, she was the mother of Vladimir the Great and sister of Dobrynya. The Norse sagas describe Vladimir's mother as a prophetess who lived to the age of 100 and was brought from her cave to the palace to predict the future.

Sveneld (also called Svenald or Sveinald; ; or ), is a semi-legendary 10th-century Varangian warlord in the service of Sviatoslav I and his family. Most of the information about Sveneld is scarce. He is described as a rich man and a voevoda ("troop commander") of Kievan Rus', but his relation to the reigning Rurikid princes, if it existed, has not been positively established.

Russian bishop and saint

Malfrida or Malfrid is the name of a woman who died in 1000 according to the Primary Chronicle (PVL).

Putyata () was a tysyatsky (chiliarch) of Vladimir the Great whose name is mentioned in the Ioachim Chronicle. According to the chronicle, he forced the Novgorodians into accepting Christianity along with Dobrynya. An old proverb says: "Putyata baptized by fire, and Dobrynya by sword", or "Putyata baptized by sword, and Dobrynya by fire" (), which attributes the houses being set on fire to Dobrynya.
