Bitterly mourned the deceased, Gleb and his brother Boris took the body of John in the Suzdal to his father with pity. " In 1147, together with his father – being in league with Sviatoslav Olegoviches, Prince Seversky – Gleb opposed Izyaslav Mstislavich, Grand Prince of Kiev who came to Yuri Dolgoruky nephew and Gleb – cousin.

At the onset of winter, guards Chernigov princes, with the help Polovtzy took place at the right bank of the Dnieper, and their ally Hleb took Gorodec Oster, formerly belonged to his father. Instead of having to go to Kiev at the call Izyaslav Gleb toward Pereyaslavl, part of the inhabitants of which, dissatisfied Izyaslavom or his son Mstislav, prince with them, invited them to his Hleb, promising to send him to town. Informed of the approximation Hleb, Mstislav went against him and his troops, but neither one nor the other decided not to join the battle, and the next day Hleb departed. Mstislav rushed after him and seized part of the army and Hleb managed to get to the state itself.The attack led by Igor Pereyaslavl Izjaslava with his men and Berendeys go to the state itself. Chernigov princes came to the aid of Gleb, despite the fact that he sent to tell them: 'Go on Izjaslav me, help me! " After a three-day siege, Gleb asked Izyaslav asking about the world. Izjaslav agreed to this request, leaving Igor Gorodec and returned to Kiev. Igor but did not stop communications with the prince of Chernigov, and he sent word to them: "I could not help kissing cross Izyaslav: he surrounded me in the city, but you are not using it, but now again I want to be with you." For such a friendship with Olegovichy Izyaslav selected Gleb Gorodets Oster and gave his older brother, Gleb – Rostislav, who had come to him from Novgorod to complain about my father because he gave his parish. In Gorodets Izjaslav Rostislav gave five cities, which previously had Svyatoslav. In 1150, having captured Kiev, Yuri Dolgoruky parish distributed among his sons: Gleb received Kanev. Izjaslav not want to come to terms with the loss of Kiev and had sent to seek help from their relatives: the King of Hungary and Poland and the Czech princes. Hleb was at the time above Peresopnitsy, on the river Stubla in tents. Izjaslav so suddenly attacked him and seized the camp, volunteers and horses, that Hleb had barely time to escape the city. He was sent to Izyaslav with a bow. "As my father Yuri, so me and you are my father, and I bow to you: you are my father himself knows, but I let go of his father, and Swear Virgin Mary, that does not grab me, and let go to my father, so I will go myself to you, and bow. Izjaslav sworn and told me to give this response: "You do your brothers, for you and there is no speech, offend me, your father and we can not live." Izyaslav eagerly accepted Gleb, offered him lunch, and then sent to his son Mstislav, who, after seeing him for Korchesk, told him: "Go, brother, his father, a parish that my father and my on Horyn. Hleb went to her father, and Izjaslav went to a black hood.After some time, when switched to Kiev Izyaslav, who "bowed" his uncle Vyacheslav Kiev, they both sent a message to Yuri Dolgoruky: "bow down to thee: go in Suzdal, a son, planted here in Pereyaslavl: the matter with you can not be here, bring upon us again Polovechens. Jury requested permission to spend some time in town; Izyaslav and Vyacheslav agreed that he had spent a month there, and if after this period, he was not going to Suzdal, they pulled him in town the same way as it is now in Pereyaslavl. Leaving Pereyaslavl Gleba, Yuri went to town, but did not keep his oath, and stayed there longer than a month. Izjaslav with the allied princes and Berendeys was beset by Yuri in town, and he struggled for a long time and finally, receiving no assistance from nowhere, had to kiss the cross, he would go to Suzdal. Before leaving he left in Horodok son Gleb Pereyaslavl Yuri, apparently lost for perjury. In 1154 Yuri undertook an expedition to the south, but two things made him, not reaching Kozelsk return to Suzdal: open horse deaths in his army, and help from Polovechens came to him in a lesser amount than he expected. Consequently, he sent Hleb in the steppe for the additional hiring Polovechens. Having collected an army, Gleb started Pereyaslavl; take the city failed, but he took Piryatin River Udae. Soon Hleb was Pereyas of its ally, the Chernigov prince Izjaslava Davidovich, who took the Grand Buffet in Kiev after the death of Vyacheslav. In 1156, Izyaslav Davidovich was forced to cede Kiev Yuri Dolgoruky and Pereyaslavl remained for Gleb, who will soon, according to the wishes of his father, married the daughter Izjaslava Davidovich. In 1157 Yury died, and the Kiev throne went from one prince to another. In 1168 the southern princes aversion to Grand Prince Mstislav II of Kiev took the eldest son of Yuri Dolgoruky, Andrew Bogoliubsky, and claimed the precedence and Kiev.In the march were many princes, including Gleb. Kiev was under siege and was first subjected to the fate of the city, taken on board, according to the chronicler, in Kiev, were then "all the people moaning and yearning, sorrow and tears of inconsolable continuing.

Having become Prince of Kiev, Gleb gave Pereyas his infant son, Vladimir. Soon after voknyazhenii Hleb set Polovechens entered into the Russian land: one part was in Sand, the other crossed the Dnieper at Kiev and located at Korsun. They sent a message to Gleb: "God and Prince Andrew was put you on his grandfather's and father's throne in Kiev. We want you to approve the agreement and swear to you, and you have given us, that we should not fear each other." Hleb has promised to attend the congress, and, after consulting with his retinue, went first to Pereyaslavl, to protect his 12-year-old son, Vladimir. Polovtsy, which stood at Korsun, he sent a warning that will make peace first with Polovtsy located at Pereyaslavl, and then with them. In fact, agreeing with Pereyaslav Polovtsy and endowing them Hleb moved together with his brother Mikhalkov and his retinue of Korsun. Meanwhile, Kherson Polovcians, believing that the act too late by Gleb Pereyaslavl, went hunting to the city is full of Volyn, belonged to Kyiv Tithe church, where they captured many prisoners, horses, cattle and sheep and led to her in the Polovtsian land.Hleb found out about this, being on Perepetovskom field, and intended to strike at Polovechens but Berendei prevented him, saying: "do not come, the prince you decent ride only with a great army and with other princes, whose team is better some of the brothers and part Berendeys! " Gleb heed their advice and sent, under the command of his brother Michalka, one hundred and fifteen hundred pereyaslavltsev Berendeys. Hike Michalka succeed, and he returned to Kiev, winning Polovechens and deprive them of their prisoners. At a time when Hleb was still in Pereyaslavl, Mstislav II
of Kiev, no hope to regain Kiev, approached him with a large army and occupied it without hindrance. Then Mstislav went against David Rostislavich to Vyshgorod, but the siege failed, because most of David had a lot of squads, but his brothers and Gleb sent him help. While standing under Mstislav Vyshegorod Gleb Polovtsy rushed to Kiev, which came in and, Mstislav, seeing the treachery of his allies, fled to Volhynia, where he died in August 1170 Gleb not much outlast him: he died on January 20, 1171 and was buried in Kiev at the Spassky Monastery (near the Saviour in Berestove) ibid was laid and his father.
