Andrey I Yuryevich , also known as Andrey Bogolyubsky , is the grandson of Vladimir Monomakh, Grand Duke of Kiev, Ukraine, in the period 1113 - 1125. Prince Andrey Bogolyubsky always tries to acquire the land of northeastern Russia. This makes the aristocracy plot against the prince.

Twenty people broke into the bedroom and assassinated Prince Bogolyubsky. According to Nikolai Makarov, director of the Institute of Archeology of the Russian Academy of Sciences, this is the most dramatic and mysterious assassination in the second half of the 12th century. He said that the assassination was a consequence of the conflict between the Vladimir - Suzdal regional political class, one of Russia's major political centers.

Located in the middle of the church's southern worship area, the list consists of two columns, at the top is a cross. The right column says: "On June 29, Prince Andrey was assassinated by his servants. Ever remembered the prince, forever tormented those servants." The left column is a list of murderers like: Petr Fralovich, Ambal, Yakim, Ivka, Petrko, Styryata. The conclusion of the column says "These are the people who killed Prince Andrey, let them be cursed".

Researchers have not been able to determine when this list was created. The list may be sent by Vladimir regional authorities to all major cities in northeastern Russia. Gippius said the ancient wall writing was an important communication channel between authorities and people.
