He became ruler knyaz of Bulgaria when his father Boris I of Bulgaria Boris Mihail I decided to retire to a monastery after a reign of 36 years. Preserved seals with the inscription Michael the Monk, who is archon of the Bulgarians suggest, however, that Boris I never fully relinquished his power. Vladimir Rasate was the oldest of Boris Mihail s sons and possibly the only one of them who had been born a pagan. According to Emperor Constantine VII Porphyrogenitos , Vladimir had taken part in a Bulgarian invasion of the Serbian lands, predating the Christianization of Bulgaria. The little we know about his reign includes a military alliance he concluded in 892 with the East Frankish Germany German King Arnulf of Carinthia against Great Moravia which, having in mind the interests of the Byzantine Empire , was indirectly aimed against Constantinople . This was a serious straying from the pro Byzantine policy of his father. Vladimir is mainly remembered for his attempt to eliminate Christianity in Bulgaria, and the re institution of paganism . This event is written of by Constantine of Preslav in his Didactic Gospel . Vladimir started the process of destroying the Christian temples and persecuting of the clergymen, because he regarded them as instruments of Byzantium and its efforts to influence the Bulgarian kingdom.
