[1] He was a son of Oleg Svyatoslavich, Prince of Chernigov.

They had two sons and two daughters: Though he had two sons, Vsevolod's chosen successor was his brother, Igor, and he obtained pledges from his subjects to accept Igor as his heir.

According to one account, Vsevolod even had the Kievans kiss the Holy Cross and swear loyalty to Igor, which they resented.

Shortly before his death, Vsevolod became a monk under the name Gavriil.
