Answer

After Igor was killed by Drevlians, Olga became regent for her son Sviatoslav, who was only three years old at the time. She served as regent for 15 years, until her son came of age and took over the throne. During this time, she successfully avenged Igor's death by killing the Drevlians and conquering their land.
