Introduction
This city was built in commemoration of Grand Prince Vladimir Monomakh. Vladimir Monomakh was an ancient Rus politician and military leader who ruled multiple principalities, including the Grand Principality of Kiev. His mother was a Byzantine princess, and this Greek lineage influenced his character and later foreign activities. During his reign, he engaged in 83 wars with the Polovtsians and convened three Grand Meetings of the Russian Princes to end internal strife and jointly resist the Polovtsians. He and his descendants established several new cities, including Vladimir, named after him. He was one of the most learned individuals among the Rus princes and had literary talent. His reign is considered the golden age of Kyivan Rus culture, and the state was at its strongest. He passed away in 1125 and was buried in Kiev's Saint Sophia Cathedral. His name is associated with many legendary stories in Russia and Ukraine, such as the precious relics gifted by Byzantine emperors and the Monomakh's Cap.
