After the death of Monomakh, in the reign of his son Mstislav, a new war broke out between the Polotsk princes and the rest of Russia. This time the campaign was directed against the military leaders of the princes of Polotsk and especially against the former ally and relative of the Monomakhovichs, David Vseslavich of Polotsk. The reasons for this campaign are unknown, although from subsequent events one can guess that David Vseslavich refused to participate in all-Russian affairs - in campaigns against the Polovtsians, and, most likely, did not recognize the grand-ducal power of Mstislav. Be that as it may, in 1127 the Grand Duke gathered almost all of Rus' on a campaign against Polotsk. It is remarkable that both this and other campaigns against Ts-Sholotsk are distinguished by the fact that almost all the princes gather for them, eagerly targeting the Polovtsians. Unfortunately, due to lack of data, it is impossible to find out this remarkable phenomenon.
The Kiyazy did not go on this campaign all together, but in parts, to different cities of the Vriviche land. So, 4 princes went to Izyaslavl: Vyacheslav from Turov, Andrey from Vladimir (Volynsky), Vsevolodko from Gorodno (now the metro station of Gorodno, Pinsk district, Minsk province), Vyacheslav Yaroslavich from the city of Yeletsk. Vsevolod Olgovich, Prince of Chernigov, and his brothers set off in the direction of Otrzhev to the mountains. Borisov.
The son of the Grand Duke Izyaslav Kureyuy and the governor Ivan Voitishich with the Torkov militia headed for Logozhek (metropolitan Logoisk, Minsk province). Rostislav Smolensk, another son of Mstislav, headed for Drutsk. All these princes were given the order to attack the designated points simultaneously, precisely on August 4th. But Izyaslav attacked Logozhek the day before and took

city and full of inhabitants. Here he stood for two days, accidentally capturing Bryacheslav, the Izyaslav prince, and the troops of the Logozhans, whom he led to help his father. This prince, having gone on a campaign to his father, lost his way, got scared and fell straight into the hands of Izyaslav. This latter, having taken the booty, the captives Logozhan and Bryachislav, went to Vyacheslav Vlakimirovich, who at that time was besieging the strongly resisting Izyaslavl. The inhabitants of this city, seeing that their prince Bryachislav and the Logozhans were in the enemy camp and that no harm would be done to them, decided to surrender themselves, but first demanded an oath from Vyacheslav that their city would not be plundered. Vyacheslav gave, but could not restrain himself: In the evening, so that the soldiers would not notice and burst into the city, only the governor Vorotislav, Prince Andrei, and the thousandth Vyacheslav, Ivanko, with a small number of youths, entered there. When at dawn the army saw that the city had surrendered, it forcibly broke in and indulged in plunder; The governors could hardly save the property of Bryachislav’s wife, Mstislav’s daughter. At the same time, the Novgorod militia, led by Prince Vsevolod Metislavich, came out against Polochan; it headed towards Nekloch. When the Polochans saw that it was impossible for them to fight the whole of Russia, they decided to forever drive out the culprit of the misfortunes, Davila, and put Rogvolod in his place. With this decision, they went to Metislav, who agreed with Polotsk’s decision in cha, concluded the myrtle and went to Kev 8%). But the Polotsk princes did not think of considering it obligatory for themselves to comply with the peace treaty. When Metislav sent to call them on a campaign against the Polovtsians, they not only did not obey, but sent ambassadors with ridicule. Metislav wanted to punish the disobedient immediately, but he was delayed by the war in the south. Having finished it, he went to the north, captured the princes of Polotsk: the Rogvolodovichs Vasil and Ivan (Rogvochod himself, obviously, was no longer alive) and the Vseslavichs: Svyatoslav, David and Rostislav. One of the Vseslavichs, Boris, died before his exile in 1199, and the other Roman died in 1114).
