    Vladimir van Bulgarije (Bulgaars: ???????? ??????) was de oudste zoon van Boris I, die na een regeerperiode van 36 jaar de troon overdroeg aan zijn zoon.

    Over Vladimir-Rasate is zeer weinig bekend. Wat we wel weten, is, dat Vladimir na zijn aantreden het beleid van zijn vader geheel omvergooide op zowel politiek als religieus gebied.

    Vladimir was van mening, dat de invloed die het Byzantijnse Rijk wilde blijven uitoefenen op Bulgarije te groot was. Daarom ging hij in 892 een militair verdrag aan met de Oost-Frankische koning Arnulf van Karinthië, wat een directe provocatie was jegens Byzantium.

    Een ander besluit van Vladimir was de afschaffing van het Christendom in Bulgarije en de herinvoer van het zogenaamde heidendom. Door de vernietiging van de Christelijke kerken en de vervolging van de geestelijken zouden daarmee in zijn ogen opnieuw handlangers van Byzantium worden uitgeschakeld.

    Vladimir stond echter al snel alleen in zijn strijd, omdat het volk en de adel zijn acties sterk afkeurden. In 893 besloot Vladimirs vader iets aan de situatie te doen. Hij verliet daartoe het klooster en liet zijn zoon afzetten als vorst van Bulgarije. Op Boris' besluit werd Vladimir gevangengenomen, de ogen uitgestoken (wat een straf was voor verraders) en in een ondergrondse kerker gegooid. Op verzoek van Boris werd een andere zoon, Simeon, aangesteld als de nieuwe vorst van Bulgarije.

    Vladimir-Rasate (Bulgarian: ???????? ??????) was the ruler of Bulgaria from 889 to 893.

    He became ruler (knyaz) of Bulgaria when his father 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 before Boris' adoption of Christianity. 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 (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. However, Vladimir Rasate's actions were not well received by the population and the aristocracy, and he was only supported by a few of the boyars. Therefore, in 893, Boris I left the monastery he inhabited and dispossessed his son. He blinded Vladimir and put him in a dungeon, where his trails vanish.

    After coping with Vladimir's uprising against Christianity, Boris placed his third son Simeon on the Bulgarian throne during the Council of Preslav which was a direct consequence of Vladimir-Rasate's ill attempt to restore paganism.
  • He died in the year 893.
  • A child of Boris- Mihail I van Bulgarije and Maria
