In 1076, the same year Sviatoslav I died in Kiev and was succeeded there by his brother Vsevolod, Sviatoslav’s son Oleg, failing to get along with his uncle, had fled Kiev to a distant Chernihivian domain on the Black Sea shore, called Tmutarakan.
Here, in 1078, he makes an alliance with the Kipchaks, and with their support returns to his father's patrimony, Chernihiv.
It marks the first time that a Slavic prince brings a pagan horde to the walls of a Russian city in order to achieve his ends.
