CLEMENT OF SMOLENSK. - Russian monk, elected in 1149 metropolitan of Kiev during the absence of the titular, the Byzantine Michael, despite the oath sworn not to proceed to elections without the approval of the Byzantine patriarchate.

Once the political situation changed, C. was transferred to the see of Vladimir in Volhynia. He was a man learned also in Byzantine literature, which he defended in a special letter and studied only from the religious point of view.
