Antonin Petrovich Ladinsky (1896-1961) was a poet, translator, essayist, and author of historical novels. He emigrated in 1920 and returned to the USSR in 1955. Ladinsky's trilogy, dedicated to Kievan Rus', includes the novels "When Chersonesus Fell," "Anna Yaroslavna, Queen of France," and "The Last Journey of Vladimir Monomakh." Heading to Kyiv, sensing his imminent death, Prince Vladimir Vsevolodovich Monomakh reminisces about his life. And he has accumulated many memories...
He occupied five princely thrones—Rostov, Smolensk, Chernigov, Pereyaslav, and Kiev—and waged war against both foreign enemies and fellow princes, including close relatives. However, not shying away from displaying his power, he always preferred negotiations and the prevention of civil strife. He had eleven children, one of whom was the founder of Moscow, Yuri Dolgoruky. He amassed a library that was enormous for the time, and was no stranger to writing himself.
Before us unfolds the life of a man who had a profound influence on our history and remains etched in the people's memory a thousand years later.
