The Eastern Orthodox, Byzantine Rite Lutheran and Roman Catholic churches celebrate the feast day of St. Vladimir on 15/28 July.

The town Volodymyr-Volynskyi in north-western Ukraine was founded by Vladimir and is named after him.
The foundation of another town, Vladimir in Russia, is usually attributed to Vladimir Monomakh.
However some researchers argue that it was also founded by Vladimir the Great.

St Volodymyr's Cathedral, one of the largest cathedrals in Kiev, is dedicated to Vladimir the Great, as was originally the University of Kiev.
The Imperial Russian Order of St. Vladimir and Saint Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary in the United States are also named after him.

The memory of Vladimir was also kept alive by innumerable Russian folk ballads and legends, which refer to him as Krasno Solnyshko (the Fair (or Red) Sun).
The Varangian period of Eastern Slavic history ceases with Vladimir, and the Christian period begins.

The appropriation of Kievan Rus' as part of national history has also been a topic of contention in Ukrainophile vs. Russophile schools of historiography since the Soviet era.
Today, he is regarded as a symbol in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus.

All branches of the economy prospered under him.
He minted coins and regulated foreign affairs with other countries, such as trade.
Through trade he brought in Greek wines, Baghdad spices, and Arab horses to trade at the markets of Kiev.
