==Prince of Kiev== After the [[Battle of Blue Waters]] in 1362, the [[Principality of Kiev]] was attached to the [[Grand Duchy of Lithuania]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Rowell |first1=S. C. |title=Lithuania Ascending |date=6 March 2014 |publisher=Cambridge University Press |isbn=978-1-107-65876-9 |page=108 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=X1cHAwAAQBAJ |language=en}}</ref> It is believed that Vladimir was installed in Kiev right after the battle and replaced [[Fiodor of Kiev]].<ref name=rowell/> Vladimir conducted independent politics and minted his own coins.<ref name=petra/> Initially the coins were heavily influenced by the numismatic traditions of the [[Golden Horde]] and copied symbolism from coins minted by Khans [[Jani Beg]] and [[Muhammad Bolak]].<ref name=saja/> However, later the coins replaced the Tatar symbols (i.e. [[tamga]]) with letter ''K'' (for Kiev) and a cross (for [[Eastern Orthodox]] faith).<ref name=karys/> This could indicate that for a while the Principality still had to pay tribute to the Horde.<ref name=karys/> These were the first coins minted in the territory of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.<ref name=saja/>

In late 1384, Vladimir's troops detained [[Dionysius, Metropolitan of Kiev|Dionysius]], the a [[metropolitan bishop]], who died in captivity a year later.<ref name=shubin/> This was part of the power struggle between Dionysius, [[Pimen, Metropolitan of Kiev|Pimen]], and [[Cyprian, Metropolitan of Kiev|Cyprian]] for the title of [[List of metropolitans and patriarchs of Kyiv|Metropolitan of Kiev and all Rus']] (which at that time had residence in [[Moscow]]).

==Removal from Kiev== When [[Jogaila]] became [[King of Poland]] in 1386, Vladimir swore loyalty to him. After the 1392 [[Ostrów Agreement]], [[Vytautas]] became the Grand Duke of Lithuania and began to eliminate regional dukes replacing them with appointed regents.<ref name=petra/> This campaign could have been launched to discipline disloyal dukes, but turned into a systematic effort to centralize the state. In 1393, Vytautas confiscated [[Volodymyr-Volynskyi]] from Feodor, son of [[Liubartas]], [[Novhorod-Siverskyi]] from [[Kaributas]], [[Vitebsk]] from [[Švitrigaila]].<ref name=petra/> In 1394, Vytautas and [[Skirgaila]] marched against Vladimir, who surrendered without a battle. Skirgaila was installed in Kiev while Vladimir received the [[Principality of Slutsk]].

Vladimir, last mentioned in written sources in October 1398, was the 4th great-grandfather of [[Elizabeth Báthory]].

==Death== Vladimir Olgerdovich died after 1398 and was buried at the [[Kiev Pechersk Lavra]].<ref name="Vle"/><ref name="Vkpk">{{cite web |title=Kijevo Pečorų lauros vienuolyno kompleksas |url=https://vkpk.lt/u-zemelapis/kijevo-pecoru-lauros-vienuolyno-kompleksas/ |website=Valstybinė kultūros paveldo komisija |access-date=25 January 2025 |language=lt}}</ref>
