Summary/Abstract: An important problem in the history of 11 th –13 th century Rus’ were the family relations of the Rus’ and Polovtsians aristocracy. The mixed marriages between the representatives of these people influenced political relations, culture and led to the rapprochement of both groups. One of the marriages contained between Rus’ and Polovtsians influential families was the wedding of Vladimir Igorevich with the unnamed daughter of Konchak Khan. Vladimir Igorevich did not play a great role in the history of Rus’, but his marriage had some influence on the historical situation of the turn of the 12 th and 13 th century. The prince guaranteed the allied agreement concluded by his father – Igor Svyatoslavich with Konchak khan. A marriage with the daughter of a khan gave Vladimir the opportunity to receive support from nomads during the war for control the Halych.
