The beginning of XII century
The Polovtsian steppe (Desht-i-Kipchak)
The Great Steppe threw out a lot of peoples
After khazars and pechenegs the polovtsians came, also named cumans or kipchaks, and they became a new threat for the russian knyazdoms
Vladimir Monomakh, a knyaz of Pereyaslav, had organized several campaigns against nomads not to allow new invasions on The Rus'
Having collected army the russians intruded into The Steppe and gave battle to the polovtsians in their land
Campaign of Monomakh
Victorious campaigns of Monomakh weakened the polovtsians and those were compelled to leave from the russian borders for a long time
After revolt in Kiev in 1113 Vladimir Vsevolodovitch Monomakh became a Grand Knyaz of Kiev
The last knyaz who has united The Rus'
