After sacrificing his son in defense of his homeland, Prince Yuri led his army in the Battle of Voronezh River and finally perished during the destruction of Ryazan.[2] He was succeeded by his nephew Ingvar Ingvarevich, who reigned until 1252.

He is a supporting character in the Russian historical fantasy film Furious (2017). He is played by Russian actor Aleksei Serebryakov.
