Vsevolod is on May 28, 1136, confined in the Archbishop's courtyard (compound) in the Detinets along with his wife and family, guarded by thirty men so as not to escape.

He is allowed to leave Novgorod in mid-July, going to his uncle in Kiev.

The Novgorodans replace him with the brother of the Chernigov prince, Sviatoslav Olgovich.

They will soon be convinced convinced to replace Sviatoslav with Rostislav Yuryevich, the eldest son of Yuri Dolgoruki.

Vsevolod's dismissal from Novgorod has traditionally been seen as the end of Kievan power in the north and the beginning of the Republic of Novgorod.

After him, a number of princes will be invited in or dismissed over the next two centuries, although only a few, like Aleksandr Nevsky, will be able to assert themselves in the city for a prolonged period.
