Vladimir (, , Reforms of Russian orthography, pre-1918 orthography: ) is a masculine given name of Slavs, Slavic origin, widespread throughout all Slavic nations in different forms and spellings.

Prince Of Pereyaslavl
The Prince of Pereyaslavl () was the ruler of the Principality of Pereyaslavl, a lordship based on the city of Pereyaslavl on the Trubizh River, and straddling extensive territory to the east in what are now parts of Ukraine. It was situated on the southern frontier of Kievan Rus' and bordered the steppe. History The origins of the principality and the city of Pereyaslavl' itself are uncertain, with the ''Primary Chronicle'' mentioning ''Pereyaslavl'' already just before the Rus'–Byzantine Treaty (907) as a prosperous town within Kievan Rus'. Yet, ''sub anno'' 993, the ''Chronicle'' claims that Vladimir the Great founded a town called ''Pereyaslavl'' that year on the banks of the river Trubizh, a tributary of the Dnieper, south of Kiev and Chernigov. Either Pereyaslavl' was founded already, or Vladimir built a new city by the same name. After the Battle of Listven (1024), Vladimir's sons divided the realm along the Dnieper: Yaroslav the Wise reigned the right (west) bank inc ...

Smolensk
Smolensk is a city and the administrative center of Smolensk Oblast, Russia, located on the Dnieper River, west-southwest of Moscow. First mentioned in 863, it is one of the oldest cities in Russia. It has been a regional capital for most of the past millennium, beginning as the capital of an eponymous principality in the 11th-15th centuries, then the Smolensk Voivodeship of Lithuania and Poland, and Smolensk Governorate and Oblast within Russia. It was the main stronghold of the Smolensk Gate, a geostrategically significant pass between the Daugava and Dnieper rivers, and as such was an important point of contention in the struggle for dominance in Eastern Europe, passing at various times between Lithuania, Poland and Russia. In more recent history, it was captured by Napoleon's Franco–Polish forces and Hitler's Germany during their marches towards Moscow, and was the place of the Smolensk air disaster of 2010.

Grand Prince Of Kiev
The Grand Prince of Kiev (sometimes also Grand Duke) was the title of the monarch of Kievan Rus', residing in Kiev (modern Kyiv) from the 10th to 13th centuries. In the 13th century, Kiev became an appanage principality first of the grand prince of Vladimir and the Mongol Golden Horde governors, and later was taken over by the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Rus' chronicles such as the ''Primary Chronicle'' are inconsistent in applying the title "grand prince" to various princes in Kievan Rus'. Although most sources consistently attribute it to the prince of Kiev, there is no agreement which princes were also "grand prince", and scholars have thus come up with different lists of grand princes of Kiev. Background Origins According to a founding myth in the ''Primary Chronicle'', Kyi, Shchek and Khoryv and their sister Lybid co-founded the city of Kiev (Kyiv), and the oldest brother Kyi was "chief of his kin" ().
