He was profligate by nature.[1] He lived a debauched life and was politically ineffectual.[2] Due to the strife between Vladimir and his stepbrother, Oleg Yaroslavich and to the interference of Prince Roman the Great and King Béla III of Hungary, his reign in Halych was characterized by troubles.[1] Only the protection that his uncle, Prince Vsevolod III Yuryevich of Vladimir gave him ensured political stability in Halych.[2]
Vladimir was the last male descendant of the first dynasty ruling in Halych; and therefore his death created a political vacuum.
