History
In 991, Grand Prince Vladimir Svyatoslavich laid a fortress on the bank of the Irpeni River and called it Belgorod. Belgorod principality did not have independent significance, its capital served as an outpost on the approaches to Kiev. Belgorod was the residence of Kiev princes, a refuge during civil strife. In 1117, Vladimir Monomakh planted the eldest son Mstislav in Belgorod. .

In 1240, Belgorod-Kievsky was devastated during the Mongol invasion of Russia. After this, neither the city nor the principality are mentioned in the annals. To date, only the settlement remained near them near the village of Belogorodok.
