Going to Kyiv in anticipation of close death, Prince Vladimir Vsevolodovich Monomakh recalls his life. And a lot of memories accumulated...

He occupied five princely thrones - Rostov, Smolensk, Chernihiv, Pereyaslavsky and Kiev - fought with enemies external and with fellow princes, including close relatives. But, not embarrassed to show his strength, he always preferred negotiations and the prevention of feuds. He has eleven children, one of whom is the founder of Moscow Yuri Dolgoruky. He gathered a huge library at that time, and he himself was not alien to writing.

The life of a person who had a great influence on our history and after a thousand years remaining in the memory of the people.
