I am not an expert, so I was not going to try to make any changes. I noticed some inconsistencies of spelling in names (Svyatopolk vs Sviatopolk). I do realize that this is probably an issue of transferring sounds from the Cyrillic to Latin alphabets, but it does seem like some consensus could be reached on which one should be used in a single article. Consider these two consecutive sentences from the "Opposition to Vladimir Monomakh" section (I boldfaced the names for emphasis):

"The Turov principality was passed to his younger brother Sviatopolk II who administered the land of Novgorod. When Svyatopolk became the Grand Prince of Rus, he passed the principality of Turov to his nephew and son of Yaropolk Vyacheslav."

Maybe they are two different people, but the context gives the impression that they are not. Thoughts?
