Notes - Vladimir II, Grand Duke of Kiev, 1113-1125, pacified his country, waged successful wars against the Livonians, Finns, Bulgars, and Cumans, and even marched against Constantinople. He established towns and opened up areas of his country to colonization. His "testament" which he left for his sons represents the earliest known example of Russian "literature" written by a layman.
