Oleg Svyatoslavich of Starodub (1147-1204)[1] - son of the Grand Prince of Kiev, Svyatoslav Vsevolodovich and Mariya Vasilkovna of Polotsk.

The issue of seniority
According to L. Voytovych [3], Oleg was the eldest son Svyatoslav Vsevolodovich. N.M. Karamzin in his "History of the Russian State" [4] also says that Vsevolod Svyatoslavich Chermnyi became the head of the Princes of Chernigov after the death of Igor Svyatoslavich and his elder brother Oleg.
After 1196, Oleg was not mentioned in the chronicle. According to N.E. Presnyakov [5], in whose hands Novgorod-Seversky during the seniority of Igor [6], we do not know how we can not even compile a list of his princes. The researcher considers the head of Chernigov princes, after Igor's death (1202), Vsevolod Svyatoslavich, the head of the north - Vladimir Igorevich .
