Described as profligate by nature, he lived a debauched life and was politically ineffectual.[1] 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 Galicia was characterized by troubles.[2] Following Oleg's expulsion by Galician boyars, a civil war started in the principality with the involvement of Hungary, Poland and neighbouring Rus' principalities. In 1189, with the help of Frederick Barbarossa and the Polish king, Vladimir managed to take Halych.[3] The protection that his uncle, Prince Vsevolod III Yuryevich of Vladimir ensured political stability in Galicia.[1]

Vladimir was the last male descendant of the first dynasty ruling in Galicia; and therefore his death created a political vacuum.[2][1] Following his death in 1199 Galicia was captured by Roman Mstislavich of Volhynia, uniting both principalities.[4]
