Gregory the Miracle Worker predicted Rostislav death from water. The young prince angrily replied: "I know, swimmers, predicts death from water? Taste of that myself!" and ordered him to drown St.. With Prince of Kiev Svyatopolk Izyaslavich and brother Vladimir Monomakh Rostislav sailed and sent his squad through a flooded during a flood Stugna. When the battle began and fled Russian, Vladimir and Rostislav rushed into the water. Here Rostislav began to sink in front of brother. Vladimir wanted to catch him, but just not drown myself. So choked Rostislav and sank. Vladimir returned to Chernigov, and the servants found the body of Rostislav Svjatopolka and brought to Kiev. Here Rostislav mourned his mother and all the people, very sad about his youth, and he was buried in St.. Sofia, next to his father.
