With the beginning of Prince Yaropolk Vladimirovich in No. (1133), a new revolution of tables took place. According to the established order, the Pereyaslav princess was occupied by the closest successor of the Grand Duke. And the unpaid Yaropolk obviously wanted to replace his nephew Izyaslav Mstislavich with such a successor, took him out of Polotsk and imprisoned him in Pereyaslavl® 5). But this preference of the nephew over his uncles (Vyacheslav, Andrey and Yury) caused discontent among the princes and Yaropolk had to “needily” take his nephew out of Pereyaslavl and give him to his eldest ambassador, Vyacheslav. Izyaslav was satisfied, having lost Polotsy's possession during these transitions, the croft of Minsk, the Grand Duke gave him Turov and Pinsk, in addition to Minsk, “and many gifts: pearls, gold, silver, vestments, horses, dosi, and honoring him a lot” 9).
But Vyacheslav could not sit in Pereyaslavl. What was needed there was a prince not with the same character as him; the fight against the Polovtsians, against the Chernihiv princes, required constant activity, to which Vyacheslav always preferred a quiet life. That's why. he “began to lose” Pereyaslavl, went sometimes to Ryazan, from there he returned to Pereyaslavl again, and finally, having expelled Izyaslav from Turov, he was there again 10).

The short-lived reign of Prince Yaropolk (1133-1139) was a time of constant struggle over inheritances, since this prince, by preferring his nephews to his uncles, and his inability to protect the interests of his family, aroused constant displeasure and bickering. As soon as Yaropolk died, Vyacheslav immediately made an attempt, as the elder sent him, to sit on Kevsyu’s table. But, as we know, he failed: Vsevolod Olgovich appeared twenty days later and forced him to go back to his Turov 1'), he “faded his mind,” according to the chronicle expression.
Vsevolod Olgovich, having established himself on the Cleves table as the goal of his policy, set the motto @у14е its pareg. He tried, by bringing some of the Monomashichs closer to him, to separate the plans of this group, and at the same time not to give the Olgovichi and Yaavidovichs the opportunity to unite with the Monomakhovichs. Only with such a policy did he manage to stay in Yoiev. At first he wanted to weaken the Monomakhovichs with one stroke, looking for Rostithe glory of Smolensk, and below Izyaslav Vladimir“ 12), but not\
Even before Bsevolod had time to direct his attack on Smolensk, he was forced to make peace with the Monomashichs, “having thought that even he could not live without it.” To
Wanting to better establish himself in the Noyev, Bsevolod understood the need to own neighboring lands, and the most convenient for taking possession of them was Gurovskaya. He wanted to tell Vyacheslav: “Sit in the Klevsk volost, and I deserve it; and you go to Pereyaslavl, your fatherland.” Vacheslav ceded Turov without a fight, although the Grand Duke supported his demand with troops, “an ambassador to Vyacheslav,” 15). His son Svyatoslav was immediately imprisoned in Turov. Thus, Vsevolod Olgovich, trying to be surrounded by nearby lands, missed the distant and less important Pereyaslavl for him; but moreover, sending Monomaltich there, he perfectly understood that the Olgovichi and Davidovichi would not be happy with such a distribution. That’s what happened the last day, they decided “we’ll look for ourselves,” and attacked Vacheslav in
Pereyaslavl; however, the united forces of Vsevolod, Izyaslav and Rostislav Mstislavich, attacking from different sides on the Oeversye volosts, forced the relatives of the Grand Duke to agree to peace. During this fight, Rostislav quickly moved with the Smolensk regiment, attacked along the roads, at the first news of the Olgovichi attack on Vyacheslav, on the Radimicheka volost, and burned it all with the city of Gomya (Gomel). The allies forced the Seversky princes to reconcile; but the possession of the Dregovichi land made it possible for Vsevolod to separate the interests of his opponents, to satisfy their demands and at the same time to prevent them from strengthening territorially: Vsevolod gave his nephews Davidovich Beresty, Dorotichin, Vshchizh and Ormin (the last two in northern Volyn), his brother Igor Gorodech, Gyurgov and Rogachev, and Svyatoslav - Klechesk and Chertoryesk 1“).
