RUSSIAN COMMEMORATIVE MEDAL
Historical Portrait Series of the Grand Princes
Sviatoslav Iaroslavich (1027 – December 27, 1076, Kiev) was the Prince (Kniaz) of Chernihiv from 1054 to 1073 and Grand Prince (Veliki Kniaz) of Kiev from 1073 until his death. A son of Iaroslav I the Wise, he was a founder of the Chernihiv princely line and is sometimes referred to as Sviatoslav of Chernihiv and his sons Oleg and Davyd would later rule the Chernihiv's lands challenging the authority of Kiev. Sviatoslav's son Gleb was instrumental in establishing his father's authority in Novgorod and Tmutarakan.
He was the son of Grand Prince Igor, who was himself probably the grandson of Rurik, prince of Novgorod. Svyatoslav was the last non-Christian ruler of the Kievan state. After coming of age he began a series of bold military expeditions, leaving his mother, Olga, to manage the internal affairs of the Kievan state until her death in 969
