 Sviatopolk II of Kiev - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
During his brother Yaropolk's life, Sviatopolk was not regarded as a potential claimant to the Kievan throne.
In 1069 he was sent to Polotsk, a city briefly taken by his father from the local ruler Vseslav, and then he spent ten years (1078-88) ruling Novgorod.
Because Sviatopolk first became active politically in 1069, whereas Yaropolk did not become active until 1071, it is probable that he is older than Yaropolk.

Yaropolk himself, in the opinion of historians, confessed Christianity, although possibly of the Latin rite, and this did not at all correspond to the interests of the Scandinavian mercenary retinue -- pagans, who were accustomed to consider Kiev a bulwark of their own influence in the Slavic lands.
Their leaders strove to create discord between the brothers themselves, they incited a fratricidal war of Yaropolk with Oleg, and after this when Oleg was killed, they supported Vladimir in a struggle against Yaropolk.
On 11 June 978 Vladimir "sat on the throne of his father at Kiev", and the hapless Yaropolk, invited by his brother for negotiations, upon his arrival in the entrance hall was treacherously murdered by two Varangians stabbing him with swords.

Yaropolk came accordingly before Vladimir, and when he entered the door, two Varangians stabbed him under the arms with their swords, while Blud shut the doors and would not allow his men to follow him.

When Blud understood the request of Vladimir, he promised that he himself would kill his master, but ad- vised Vladimir to lay siege to the fortress; at the same time, however, he recommended Yaropolk not to remain within the fortress, alleging as a reason that many of his men had de- serted to Vladimir.
Yaropolk, confiding in his counsellor, fled to Roden, at the mouth of the Yursa,1 imagining that he would there be safe against the violence of his brother.
Afterwards, when they were exhausted with long famine and could no longer endure the siege, Blud advised Yaro- polk to make peace with his brother, he being by far the more powerful of the two.

 Sviatopolk I of Kiev - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
Sviatopolk's mother was a Greek nun captured by Svyatoslav I in Bulgaria and married to his lawful heir Yaropolk I.
When Yaropolk was murdered by his brother Vladimir's agents, the new sovereign raped his wife and she soon (some would say, too soon) gave birth to a child.
Thus, Sviatopolk was probably the eldest of Vladimir's sons, although the issue of his parentage has been questioned.

 FOCUS ON PHILATELY: The founding family of Kyivan-Rus': Sviatoslav the Conqueror (PART I) (12/01/02)
By the time he was 20 (around 962), Sviatoslav had fathered three sons: Yaropolk, Oleh and Volodymyr.
Presumably the first two were by a wife, for the PVL distinguishes Volodymyr as being the son of Malusha (Malfrid), Olha's favorite handmaiden, who became Sviatoslav's concubine.
Yaropolk was almost certainly older than Oleh for in 970, when Sviatoslav appointed his sons as vice-regents, it was Yaropolk who received the more prestigious Kyiv, while Oleh was assigned the Derevlianian land.
