Ὁ Ἅγιος Κωνσταντίνος διετέλεσε Μητροπολίτης Κιέβου καὶ πάσης Ρωσίας ἀπὸ τὸ ἔτος 1156 μέχρι τὸ 1158. Τὴ διοίκηση τοῦ Κιέβου εἶχε, ἀπὸ τὸ 1148, ἀναλάβει ὁ ἡγεμόνας τῆς Σουζδαλίας Γιούρι Ντολγκορούκι. Ὁ πρίγκιπας Ἰζιασλάβος ἀνακατέλαβε τὸ Κίεβο, ἀλλὰ πέθανε, τὸ 1155, καὶ μετὰ ἀπὸ λίγους μῆνες τὸ Κίεβο καταλαμβανόταν πάλι ἀπὸ τὸν Γιούρι. Διάδοχος τοῦ Ἰζιασλάβου ἦταν ὁ ἀδελφός του, ἡγεμόνας τοῦ Σμολένσκ Ροστισλάβος Μστισλάβιτς, ὁ ὁποῖος ἀναγκάσθηκε νὰ καταφύγει στὴν πόλη Βλαδιμὶρ τῆς Βολυνίας. Ὁ Γιούρι ἐδέχθηκε τὸ βυζαντινὸ Μητροπολίτη Ἅγιο Κωνσταντίνο, ἀλλὰ μετὰ τὸ θάνατο τοῦ Γιούρι († 1158) ὁ θρόνος περιῆλθε πάλι στὸν Ραστισλάβο. Αὐτὸς ἐζήτησε καὶ ἔλαβε ἀπὸ τὸ Πατριαρχεῖο Κωνσταντινουπόλεως τὸν Μητροπολίτη Θεόδωρο (1161), ἐνῷ ὁ Μητροπολίτης Κωνσταντίνος ἐφιλοξενεῖτο ὑπὸ τοῦ Ἐπισκόπου Τσέρνιγκωφ Ἀντωνίου († 1159).
