The novel, on his return, began to reign in his paternal Vladimir-Volyn. Next to it was a municipality rich Galich, in which after the death of Yaroslav Vladimirovich Osmomysl began unrest and riots. Boyars were dissatisfied with their Yaroslavovich Prince Vladimir, who liked only to drink, but did not like to engage in public affairs. Roman was in the similar properties with Vladimir: his daughter was the eldest son of the last. Despite learning that bad Galician nobles lived with her prince. The novel was forwarded to them, encouraging them to drive Vladimir, the place which offered them the princes themselves. Boyars readily agreed to his proposal: first, kicked, Vladimir, and then poisoned his brother Oleg, and took a Roman. But the novel, this time briefly sat in Galicia, as Vladimir returned with Hungarian troops. Roman saw no possibility to resist the Hungarians and, taking the rest of the prince's treasury, fled back to the Volyn, but was not admitted to Vladimir and his brother Vsevolod. Pulled away in Galich, he gave to Vladimir, said: "The more I do not want this city". Thus the novel was without a parish and went to Poland to seek help there, but do not get it from there the princes went to the father-in Ovruch Rurik Rostislavich along with his loyal nobles Halych. Arriving to the test, he began to ask him again to Galich. "Galicians called me to his reign - he said to him - let me son Rostislav". Rurik agreed, and sent the Roman vanguard of his own, to take one of the border towns, Plesnesk, but this detachment was routed Hungarians and Galicians. Roman, hearing about this misfortune, dismissed the brother-by Rostislav home, while he went to Poland. At this time he was more lucky, he got help and went with her to her brother, Vsevolod, Vladimir, Vsevolod but again did not let him, and the novel again went to the test. That gave him until the parish - Torchesk, and meanwhile sent to Vsevolod threats had their effect, and Roman was again Vladimir, Vsevolod and went to his former parish - Belsen.

In 1194 he died, Prince Svyatoslav II of Kiev Vsevolod. Rurik sat in his place and gave the Roman parish in Kiev five cities: Torchesk, Trepol, Korsun, Bohuslav and Kanev. Soon, however, it became clear that here you are also claiming the city of Vladimir-Suzdal Prince Vsevolod the Big Nest. In these difficult circumstances Rurik sent a message to Roman: "Vsevolod asks under thee parish and complains to me because of you". Roman replied: "Father!" There is no need for you because of me to start a quarrel with the matchmaker: can you tell me or give another parish instead of the former, or pay for it with money ". After reaching agreement on this, Rurik gave the desired city Vsevolod, and he immediately gave the best city - Torchesk - son of Rurik and his son-Rostislav. This event marked the beginning of many unrest. When Roman learned, . that Torchesk taken from him and passed through the hands of Vsevolod Rurik is the son, . then began to send complaints to the test, . Confident, . that he had conspired deliberately Vsevolod and snatched his parish for only, . to donate it to his son,

All of Russia, according to the chronicler, rose against the Rurik, all rushed to the Roman. First of all, moved in with his black hoods, to them were detachments from the inhabitants of the cities of Kiev. Roman, seeing this extraordinary movement in his favor, hastened with all the shelves to Kiev. Kievans Podil's'ki he opened the gate, and he took Podil. Rurik was forced to enter into negotiations with Roman: he refused and went to Kiev Ovruch. Roman gave Kiev to his cousin Ingvar Yaroslavovich.

It was decided to cease hostilities before the talks. The novel, relying on this, with maloyu retinue rode from camp to hunt, but here in ambush waiting for his Polish detachment, and Roman, after a courageous resistance died on the spot with his retinue.

If you believe the Polish chronicles, the Roman rules in Galicia as a cruel despot and samovlastets. In fact, the Galician boyars were all over Russia are known for their violent temper and sedition. Roman, sitting in Galicia, soon had to face this hostile force. Best Galician boyars he slew, inventing their most painful penalty. Many fled to other lands. Roman tried to return, promising them any mercy, and not deceived, but after some time to invent n.ih slander and also executed. "Not passing the bees, honey is not" - he liked to speak in his defense. Left behind a bloody memory in Galicia, in the rest of Russia was known as a formidable Roman scourge of the surrounding barbarians - Polovets, Lithuania, Yatvingians - and a good devotee of the Russian land, a worthy heir to his grandfather Monomakh. According Tatisheva, Roman was low post, but broad-shouldered, strong and handsome face, eyes and hair was black, with a long aquiline nose and a hot temper. In his anger began to stutter. He liked to have fun with the boyars, but never drank excessively, like women, but not obey them.
