Sviatoslav I of Kiev - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia From the banks of the Danube the Russian prince pursued his march as far as Adrianople; a formal summons to evacuate the Roman province was dismissed with contempt; and Swatoslaus fiercely replied, that Constantinople might soon expect the presence of an enemy and a master. But instead of relinquishing his prey, and performing his engagements, the Varangian prince was more disposed to advance than to retire; and, had his ambition been crowned with success, the seat of empire in that early period might have been transferred to a more temperate and fruitful climate. Then, as an ally of the Byzantine Empire, which was at war with the Bulgars, Sviatoslav decisively defeated the Bulgars of the Danube( 968), thereby paving the way for victories of Basil the Bulgar-Slayer. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Sviatoslav_I_of_Kiev

Conversion of the Russians He won the title of Grand Prince of Kiev in the role of champion of paganism against the rising tide of Christianity that had been washing over the area from Constantinople, from Moravia and Central Europe, and from the Byzantine outpost on the Sea of Azov with its bishopric at Tmutorokan. Missionaries from Constantinople baptized Olga in Kiev in 955. Elders of the capital and members of the prince's bodyguard came together to discuss the merits of the various faiths, and it is not unlikely that missionaries from east, west and south harangued the meetings. mars.acnet.wnec.edu /~grempel/courses/russia/lectures/04conversion.html

Kievan Rus Database (Class: Princes) The prince of Kiev was referred to in Kievan graffiti both as a tsar and as a kaghan, and both titles probably suggest a semi-sacral status. A senior prince who encroached on a younger ruler's territory was "a second Sviatopolk." The model senior prince, on the other hand, recognized his junior kinsman's rights, kept to his vows, and was not easily provoked, while junior princes who attacked their leaders were condemned for not behaving like Boris and Gleb. The Christian Church greatly enhanced the prestige of the princely authority in Kiev, and strengthened the ties linking the several parts of the state. members.aol.com /bksmyre/Class_Princes.html

Russia Although the princes were dispersed, it was understood that the senior member of the eldest generation of the dynasty was heir to the Kievan throne. Andrei's brother Gleb, as prince of Pereiaslavl (traditionally the main seat of the house of Monomakh), became grand prince of Kiev. When the prince of Volhynia (representing the junior generation) claimed the throne, the rules of eligibility and succession were temporarily waived due to the sheer power that he was able to muster. partners.nytimes.com /books/first/f/freeze-russia.html

unsaved:///newpage2.htm Sviatoslav's speech is punctuated by frequent digressions in the old style that serve to contrast the pettiness of present princes with their illustrious, heroic predecessors. It is precisely the notion that the prince is both physically and philosophically identified with the kingship, and the kingship with the "state," that the boiars seek to point out in their collective interpretation of Sviatoslav's premonition of his own death. The poet's method is one of contrasting two ages, the heroic age of the first princes Oleg, Igor, Sviatoslav and Vladimir (the latter died in 1015) with that of the successor princes also named Oleg, Sviatoslav, Igor and Vladimir. faculty.washington.edu /dwaugh/rus/texts/igorintr.htm

unsaved:///newpage2.htm For this reason Sviatoslav was styled "Grand Prince of Kiev" or "Great Prince of Kiev." The political facts were such, however, that he ruled nothing but Kiev and was really rather insignificant on the Russian scene in 1185. Vsevolod was a prince of VIadimir-Suzdal in the northeast. Kiev was the titular capital of the south Rus principalities, and its grand prince appropriately shows concern for the lands lying on the borders with the steppe, which were subjected to invasions, according to the chronicle, from the armies of Gzak and Konchak. faculty.washington.edu /dwaugh/rus/texts/igorcm.htm

kiev law The city of Kiev was on the present site of the residence of Gordyata and Nicephorus, and the prince's palace was in the city where the residence of Vratislav and Chudin now stands, while the hunting grounds were outside the city. [Prince] Iaroslav ordered [to allow him] to kill the offender, but his sons, after their father's death, ordered the matter to be settled with the alternative of payment: either to bind the slave [to a post] and beat him, or to accept 1 grivna for the offense to his honor.

Encyclopedia: Vladimir of Kiev After Sviatoslav's death (972), a fratricidal war erupted (976) between Yaropolk and his younger brother Oleg, ruler of the Drevlians. He died at Berestovo, near Kiev, while on his way to chastise the insolence of his son, Prince Yaroslav of Novgorod.

The Life of Equal-to-the-Apostles Grand Prince Volodymyr [Vladimir] of Kiev Fortunately, his frequent absence from Kiev on various campaigns gave Olga greater influence not only in administrative matters but also in the upbringing of her three grandsons, even though Sviatoslav forbade her to raise them in the Christian faith. To her sorrow, her son Sviatoslav was not interested in changing his pagan beliefs, although he was tolerant of the Christian faith and did not interfere in his mother's active missionary work. On their return they related to the Grand Prince what they had witnessed: the Moslem religion was grim and full of fear; the Germans lacked beauty; but the Greek worship no tongue can describe, 'for during the service in their temple we knew not whether we were in heaven or on earth. www.roca.org /OA/59-60/59f.htm
