Biography
After the death of his uncle in the battle on Nezhatina Niva and the occupation of the throne of Kiev by his father, Rostislav Vsevolodovich reigned in Pereyaslavl and, together with his brother, reigning in Chernigov , participated in the fight against the Polovtsy.
Even during the life of Vsevolod Yaroslavich, a new wave of Polovtsian raids against Russia began. After the death of Vsevolod and the occupation of the throne of Kiev by Svyatopolk Izyaslavich Turovsky, the Russian princes took a campaign against the Polovtsy. Svyatopolk, Vladimir and Rostislav crossed the Stugnu River and lost the battle . During the retreat, Rostislav drowned. Vladimir tried to save him, but he nearly drowned himself. Information about this has been preserved in The Tale of Bygone Years and in a number of sources dating back to it (in particular, in the Radziwill Chronicle ).
In Kiev , on the territory of the Vydubytsky monastery, there is the Mikhailovsky Cathedral , founded and erected by Prince Vsevolod Yaroslavich in 1070-1088 on the occasion of the birth of his son Rostislav.
