Vsevolod II.
Vsevolod II. Olgovich (* 1104 ; † 1146 ) was the grandson of Svyatoslav II and from 1139 to 1146 he was the successor of Jaropolk II as Grand Duke of the Kievan Rus .
Before his reign as the Grand Duke of Kiev, Vsevolod ruled in Chernigov . He gained power in Kiev during a period of fierce fighting in the Rurikid dynasty and the decline of the Kievan Rus. Apparently he was of the opinion that Kiev was inherited from the Chernigov princes. He met with bitter resistance from the city population, who drove him out of Kiev and installed the Volhyn prince Isjaslav Mstislavich as grand prince in his place .
