The article has only a couple of sentences about the battle itself but has a lot of info about Polovtsy-Rus' relations, Izyaslav I, etc. I think we should put the info into the relevant articles rather than here Alex Bakharev 01:02, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There isn't much in the sources on the battle itself. Most battle accounts in the Russian chronicles are formulaic and scant in terms of details. --Mcpaul1998 21:46, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
