Biography
The son of one of the younger Monomakh, Vladimir remained fairly early without a father (he died at age 40), and thus became knyazem- outcast by prevailing order of succession. Early biography of Vladimir in many respects was determined by the agreement reached by his father with another younger Monomakhovich - Yuri Dolgoruky, along with whom Andrei fought against his elder nephews, Mstislavich , back in the 1130s. The essence of the agreement was that Yuri promised on the death of Andrew, who had reigned for many years in Volhynia, to ensure the receipt of the Volyn throne by his son Vladimir, in the hope that Vladimir acted in conjunction with Yuri when he fought against Izyaslav Mstislavichfor the great reign and remained still while the southern Russian Kiev Parish ( 1146 - 1154 ). However, Izyaslav managed, including with the help of the rulers of Hungary and Poland, with whom he was related, to establish the Volyn principality for his descendants. Vladimir managed to reign only in the specific centers in Volhynia, which he received first from the captured Yuri, and then from the heir of Izyaslav - Mstislav.

In 1146, after the expulsion of Igor Olgovich from Kiev Izyaslav Mstislavich, Vyacheslav Vladimirovich gave Volyn to Vladimir Andreevich, but in return Izyaslav took over Volyn and removed Svyatoslav Vsevolodovich [1] and took Vyacheslav Turov from him. In 1148, Izyaslav transferred to Volyn from Novgorod Svyatopolk Mstislavich.

Family and children He was married to the daughter of Svyatoslav Olgovich Chernigovsky. Information about descendants in the annals is absent. Genetic studies of the XXI century found that the princes Puzyna and Voronetsky in the male line come from Vladimir Monomakh, but through another son than Yuri Dolgoruky (the grandfather of the northeastern group of princely families) and Mstislav the Great (the ancestor of princes of the Smolensk and Galician groups) [2 ]. Thus, it is likely that the ancestor of this group of names (which could also include the Vishnevets ) was Andrei Dobry.
