Biography
Olev Svyatoslavich was involved, together with his father. in the internecine struggle of 1146-1154 on the side of Yuri Dolgoruky and Vladimir Volodarevich against the Monomakhovichi of Volhynia, Smolensk and the Davydovich of Chernigovh.
After the death of his father, in the period 1164-1180, Oleg fought against the cousins Svyatoslav Vsevolodich and Yaroslav Vsevolodich. The first dispute over the volosts occurred in 1167 after the death of Svyatoslav Vladimirovich of Vshchizh. The chronicle says that Svyatoslav gave the best parishhis to his brother, and installed his son in Vshchizh. Oleg marched towards Starodub-on-the-Klyazma, and Yaroslav with Polovtsians towards Novgorod-Seversky. Peace was concluded following a mediation by Rostislav Mstislavich, peace was concluded, Oleg received from Svyatoslav 4 cities. In 1174 together with Yaroslav Izyaslavich of Kiev and the Rostislavichi he took Lutava and Moroviesk and approached Starodub-on-the-Klyazma, seeking from Svyatoslav Vsevolodich the redistribution of the volosts. In response, Svyatoslav Vsevolodich besieged Novgorod-Seversky, after which the peace was concluded.
In 1164, when Svyatoslav Olgovich died in Chernigov, Oleg lost Chernigov to Svyatoslav Vsevolodich, occupying Novgorod-Seversky in violation of the rights of Yaroslav Vsevolodich.
The problem of the Principality of Chernigov
Svyatoslav Vsevolodich reigned in Kiev since 1117, however, the Ipatiev Chronicle under the year 1178 reports that Svyatoslav Vsevolodich lived in Chernigov, having arrived from Kiev; Yaroslav Vsevolodich ruled in Chernigov, and Igor Svyatoslavich - in Novgorod-Seversky only in connection with the death of Oleg. According to Presnyakov AE [2], Svyatoslav Vsevolodich, taking Kiev, conceded Chernigov neither to Oleg nor to his brother Yaroslav, because, in 1164, Oleg refused Chernigov only in favor of Svyatoslav Vsevolodich, but not Yaroslav Vsevolodich. According to L.Voytovich [1], Oleg reigned in Chernigov from 1178 to his death in 1180.
