Biography
Yaropolk reigned in Smolensk during his father's reign in Kiev. The first time when Andrei Yurievich of Bogolyubovo was dissatisfied with the outreach in Kiev of Vladimir Mstislavich on the death of his brother Gleb, Andrei gave the Kiev reign to Roman Rostislavich. Roman, owning the Smolensk throne and neighboring with the strong principality of Andrew, was more accommodating than the younger Rostislavichi, who owned the land in the Kiev land. After the unsuccessful campaign organized by Andrei against Kiev, Yaroslav Izyaslavich became Great Prince of Kiev, and Roman returned to Smolensk.

After the departure of Yaroslav Izyaslavich from Kiev, after the death of Andrew, Roman again took over Kiev's reign, leaving Yaroslavl in Smolensk. However, Smolensk called on the reign of the younger Rostislavich Mstislav, but he preferred not to enter into conflict with his brother and returned the throne to Yaropolk. In 1177, when after the defeat of the Polovtsi Svyatoslav Vsevolodovich Chernigovsky began to demand to deprive Davyd Rostislavich of the estate as the culprit of the defeat, Roman did not go to this and was forced to cede the Kiev throne to Svyatoslav and return to Smolensk.
