In the next year, after the death of Yaropolk, his brother Svyatopolk, who had previously reigned in Novgorod, transferred to the Turov princess 68). This prompted him, apparently; desire to be closer to the Kev table, since he remained the eldest in the princely family. Perhaps he was also motivated to make such a transition by the fact that, taking his father’s place, he could resume his father’s old ties with Poland and Hungary; After his children, he, as is known, used the combination of both. Moreover, the Novgorodians did not like this greedy prince at all, and after his childhood they expressed that if the son of Svatopolk, whom they wanted to imprison there, had even two heads, even then they would not have wanted to accept him. In 1093, Svyatopolk, after the death of Vsevolod, moved to the Yevev princedom, leaving Turov behind him. - A little time later, precisely in 1095, David Svyatoslavich finally established himself in Smolensk, where he reigned as prince until the Lyubechek sfzd (1097 v. 83), After this congress, at which it was decided that each prince would be in possession of his father's udfl, David Svyatoslavich and his brother Oleg occupied Chernihiv, Murom and Rostov, and Vladimir established himself again in Smolensk% 70) and Pereyaslavl. However, in Omolensk, after a little time, we see the son of Monomakh, Svyatoslav. We know little about this prince. It is known that in his youth he was a hostage to one of the Polovtsian khans and went on a campaign against Polovtsev (1107). On the Smolensk table he was born before his father Vladimir was crowned prince in Noev (1113), when he was transferred to Pereyaslavl, GDF and

died in the next year (1114 7\). When Vladimir Vsevolodovich established himself as a grand duke, a new change of princes took place: the son-hero_Vyacheslav began to reign in Smolensk 72). This order of things continued, it seems, until the death (1125) of this prince. At least we learn that only in 1128, that is, in the reign of Mstislav Vladimirovich, Vyacheslav was already a prince in Turovf, and Rostislav Mstislavich was in Smolensk.”
The succession of Prince Svyatopolk Sh Izyaslavich, more important than Turov, finally begins to fall. The reason for this may be that relations with the Poles and Hungarians are weakening. Poland has lost its power, gained under its first kings: it was no longer a strong state during the time of Boleslav VKrivoustato (1122 - 1139); he weakened her completely. divided into nodes. The small appanage princes, busy with their household accounts, could not provide reliable allies for the Russian princes. Sri Tom, the vital interest of Rus' and Vladimir Monomakh until the end of the HP Vfka is transferred to Vev and to the right bank of the Dnefira. Rus' used everything it could to fight the nomadic hordes of the Polovtsians. Among them, the princes found loyal allies and mercenaries. As a result of this state of affairs, the Turovo-Pinsk region, although under Vyacheslav Vladimirovich gained complete independence from the Mevsky prince, lost its significance and descended to the level of petty udfl. Moreover, it is divided into several principalities. Already in 1128 we know a separate Kletsk prince Vyacheslav. But there is no doubt that there were much more udflov: there were still descendants of Izyaslav Yaroslavich: Metislav, Izyaslav, Bryachislav and Yur, whose udflov, although unknown exactly, were in the basin of Pripyat. Thus, we see that before the death of Monomakh, Turov and all Pri-Pryatie were almost exclusively in the power of the older line The Yaroslavichs are descendants of Izyaslav.
