Russia has a very interesting history. For starters the
successor of Vladimir was Sviatopolk which is believed to be his biological son
due the rape of Yaropolk’s Wife. Due the question of his authentic rule he
ordered three of Vladimir’s younger sons to be murdered. He was later defeated by Yaroslav I, one of his
brothers who led and army against his rule and defeated him. Sviatopolk
retreated to Poland. This younger son Yaroslav I issued the first Russian code
of law refered to as the Russkava Pravda. When Yarolslav died his oldest sun
succeeded him Iziaslav, he was later overthrown by a popular uprising, and fled
to Poland. He later led the Polish army into Keiv and regained the throne. Two
of his brothers over threw him. After these successions many followed throughout
the history of Russia.
