In 1069 her father took Svjatopolka in Polotsk in place of the deceased Mstislav. In 1071 Vseslav of Polotsk, the old Prince of Polotsk, regained the parish. One can assume that the following two years spent with Sviatopolk Izyaslav Yaroslavich in Kiev, and then shared his exile. Even after returning to Kiev Izyaslav Sviatopolk received in 1078 and Novgorod in the winter of that year went along with Vladimir Monomakh to Polotsk and burned it Posada.

Upon the death of Grand Prince Vsevolod Yaroslavich in 1093, his son Vladimir Monomakh invited to Kiev Svyatopolk as the eldest of all the grandchildren of Yaroslav the Wise. Sviatopolk then sitting in Turov, and came: in Kiev on April 24. According to the chronicler, Kiev residents came out to meet the new prince and took him with joy. Sviatopolk barely had time to sit down in Kiev as they arrived Polovtsians the Russian land, and sent ambassadors to him, offering the world. Svyatopolk same, not brought together senior squad, his father and his uncle, began to confer only with Turov boyars, who brought with him. Those prisovetovali he did not tolerate Polovtsy. Svyatopolk told the ambassadors took over and put them under lock and key. Found out about this, Polovtsy went to war against Russia and besieged Torchesk. Sviatopolk changed his mind, he dismissed the ambassadors, but Polovtsians not want to have peace, and began to advance, fighting everywhere. Holy regiment sent to Vladimir Monomakh and began to call him in the campaign have with you. Vladimir gathered his warriors and he sent for his brother Rostislav in Pereyaslavl, leading and help him Svyatopodku.

The princes went to Trepolyu, and all the host crossed Stugna, which was at that time full of water. Square up, they put the middle of the squad, Rostislav, the right of it - Svyatopolk, and the left - Vladimir. May 26 Polovtsy, in turn, built for a decisive battle, attacked Svyatopolk and crashed into his regiment. Sam Sviatopolk held firmly, but his men could not stand the onslaught Polovtzy, ran. After ran and Svyatopolk, followed by all other Russian troops.

That same night Svyatopolk got to Kiev. A Polovtsians nine weeks of siege Torchesk, then divided into two parts: one remained in the city, while others went to Kiev. Sviatopolk came out to meet the enemy and July 23, fought with them the desire. And again the Russian ran under the onslaught of the pagans, so that the deceased was greater than in previous wars. Sviatopolk galloped in Kiev itself, third, and returned to Polovtsians Torchesk. The next day the exhausted defenders surrendered. Polovtsi took the city, burned it, and people divided and separated from the steppe. Sviatopolk, having no more power to wage war in 1094 made peace with Polovtsy and took his wife's daughter Tugorkana, Polovtsian Khan.

In 1096 Svyatopolk together with Vladimir Monomakh went to Oleg Svyatoslavich and expelled him from the Chernigov land. Not having had time to finish this case, the princes have learned that the Khan Bonyak Polovtsy fought with a lot of land around Kiev and burned the prince's court in Berestove. At the same time came Tugorkan. father-Svyatopolk to Pereyaslavl and was near the city. Sviatopolk and Vladimir Starodub went on to the Dnieper and secretly Polovtsy crossed the Dnieper. Polovtsi, seeing the prince shelves, barely had time to line up for battle. Vladimir to go hit on the enemy, and Cumans fled, unable to withstand the onslaught. Were that day killed Tugorkan, his son and many other Khans. The next morning found the body Tugorkana. Sviatopolk took him, brought to Kiev and buried in Berestove.

June 26 Bonyak Khan for the second time has come to Kiev and burned the whole plain and the foothills. After Polovtsians rushed to the monasteries of Kiev - Stefanov, Germany and the Pechora - and ransacking them, went back to the steppe.

In 1097 Svyatopolk and Monomakh gathered all the Russian princes in Liubech for peace. The princes said to each other: "Why should we destroy the Russian land, incurring give themselves a quarrel? A Polovtsians plunder our land and rejoice that we are torn strife. Unite the same and from then we sincerely protect the Russian land. And let everyone owns their paternal ". In fact, all the princes kissing each other cross, vowing: "If we who encroach on another's parish, be it against him cross all the honest and Russian land". It made up my mind, everything went back home.

After the Congress Sviatopolk and Davyd I. went together in Kiev, and then some men began to speak ill of the prince's Davyd Vasilko Rostislavich, if he conspired with Vladimir Monomakh against him and Svjatopolka. Davydov, believing false slander, began to speak ill Svyatopolk Vasilko: "Who killed your brother Yaropolk? Now Rostislavich evil to you and me and agreed already with Vladimir. Take care also of his head ". Sviatopolk believe all the slander Davydov, and the two began to think about Vasilko. It was decided on to grab it. Sviatopolk sent to Vasilyek, who was still in Roudnice near Kiev, the invitation to the birthday party. Vasilko came with a small retinue for the prince's court. Sviatopolk escorted him into the hut where he sat Davyd. After they both left, and Vasilko caught and locked up, putting him custody. The same night he gave Sviatopolk Vasilko Davyd. The prisoner was taken to the Belgorod and there was blinded, then Davyd took him to his Volyn.

Upon learning of the incident, Monomakh, Oleg Davydov and Svyatoslavichy sent their husbands to Svyatopolk the charges against him: "Why did you perpetrate this evil in Russian land and thrust the knife into us?" - They said. - Why has blinded his brother? If you had a charge against him, he would have denounced him in front of us and proving his guilt, then would have done with him so. And now unto us blame him ". Sviatopolk replied: "Tell me Davyd I., . Vasilko that killed my brother Yaropolk, . and now wants to kill me, . and then take my parish: Turov, . Pinsk and Biareе?cie, . and another said he, . that Vasilko kissed the cross with Vladimir, . that sit on my death, Vladimir in Kiev, . and Vasilyek - in Vladimir,
. I do not have their heads to observe. And I am not blinded him, but Davydov, who took him to her ". But the men Vladimirova, of Oleg and Watchmakers said: "did not refer to it as if Davyd blinded him. Not Davydov city he was captured and blinded, and in your ". And saying so, he's gone from Kiev.

The next morning the prince began to cross the Dnieper, to go to war with Svyatopolk. Sviatopolk just wanted to run away from Kiev, but Kievans detained him and sent him to Vladimir stepmother, the widow of Vsevolod, and with it the Metropolitan Nicholas, that they begged not to start again Vladimir strife and ruin of the Russian land. Vladimir heed pleas Princess. After this, the princes began to send each other and agreed on the fact that Svyatopolk should go to war nA Davyd and either capture or get rid of it.

In 1099 Svyatopolk with all his army approached Vladimir Volhynia (Vasilko had already vacated his brother Volodar) and stood by the city seven weeks. Finally Davyd began to ask: "Let me out of town". Sviatopolk agreed and released him. Davyd fled to Poland, and took Sviatopolk Vladimir. Expelling Davydov, Sviatopolk went to war against Volodar cornflowers and Rostislav, because I wanted to deprive them of their brother's parish. Shelves come together in the field at Rozhnov and began to fight. Seeing Rostislavich winning, Svyatopolk fled to Vladimir, and then - in Kiev. End of the war put vitichevsky peace of princes in 1110.

In the spring of 1103 Svyatopolk and Vladimir gathered in council Dolobske. The princes sat in a tent with his team and began to argue about a hike in the steppe. And they sent to Oleg and Davydov Svyatoslavich, saying: "Go on Polovtsy and come out alive or dead". Davyd listened to Prince's invitation and came to Svyatopolk with his retinue, and Oleg - no.

Gathered, princes on horseback and in barges down the rapids of the Dnieper and stood in midstream at Horticheva Islands. Hence, on horseback and on foot marched four days before Suteni. After some time, invaded the camp on the Russian Polovtsian shelves, . and they were like a forest, . chronicler wrote, . so that the end 'they could not see, . and Russ went to meet them and was a great battle 4 April Suteni, . which won a complete victory over Russia Polovtsy,
. In many ordinary soldiers that day were killed on 20 Polovtsian princes. Russian captured a rich booty: cattle, sheep, horses, camels and Tower with the property and servants, and returned from a hike with full and great glory.

After a few l-o in the late winter of 1111 Monomakh again persuaded Svyatopolk and Davyd Svyatoslavich arrange a big campaign against Polovtsy. March 4 Russian reached Khorol here abandoned their sleds, as well as the land was bared, and continued on foot and on horseback ... March 24 Polovtsians packed their shelves and went into battle. Russian princes, placing their hope in God, so to speak to each other: "We see here the death of us, stand as firmly". And, having said goodbye to each other, each departed to his regiment. Both sides came together, a violent battle, and Cumans were broken again, as eight years ago. March 27 Polovtsians gathered in even greater numbers than before, and pitched against Russian troops. Again between the adversaries fierce battle began, and people fell on both sides. Finally, Vladimir and Davyd with their regiments began to attack, but Polovtsians fled. Svyatopolk, and Vladimir Davydov, glorify God, and seized a large full and returned back home.
