History
They were mentioned as Unlizi by the
Sviatoslav Igorevich for their independence, until a Kievan commander Sveneld captured their capital, Peresechen (near Orhei, in present-day Moldova), around 940. In the mid-10th century the Ulich lands paid tribute to Sveneld
. The Uliches were last mentioned in the 970s.
