Primitive society and the first state formations on the territory of Ukraine. Princely period of Ukrainian state formation. Information on the earliest history of Ukraine is derived from archeological records and from general descriptions of the early Slavs by Greek, Roman, and Arab historians. Ukrainian national historiography has traditionally divided Ukrainian history into the following periods: (1) the so- called Princely era of Kyivan Rus’ and the Principality of Galicia-Volhynia; (2) the period of the Lithuanian-Ruthenian state; (3) the period of the Cossacks and the Hetman state; (4) the national and cultural revival of the 19th century; (5) the Ukrainian nation-state of 1917–21 [see Struggle for Independence (1917–20)]; (6) the interwar occupation of Ukrainian territories by four foreign powers; (7) the consolidation of most Ukrainian ethnic territory into the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic; and finally, after 1991, (8) independent Ukraine. Because more than one political state often ruled Ukraine's territories simultaneously and, at times,

  • Bogurodzica Song
    History of the Origin of the Bogurodzica Song. A Musical Monument of 1407 Ivan KUZMINSKYI History of the Origin of the Bogurodzica Song. A Musical Monument of 1407 Giesmės „Bogurodzica“ kilmė – 1407 m. muzikinis paminklas Ukraine P. Tchaikovsky National Academy of Music, ul. Architektora Gorodeckogo 1-3/11, 01001 Kyiv, Ukraine Email [email protected] Abstract In Polish musical historiography, the song Bogurodzica is considered to be the oldest artifact of Polish song culture written in a staff notation. This article attempts to study the history of this song’s emergence and distribution not only against the background of Polish musical culture of the late 14th– early 15th centuries, but also under the conditions of the Kievan Rus’ and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Firstly, the article presents the main written sources of the Bogurodzica in the 15th–16th centuries and analyzes the title, verbal text and the plot of the Bogurod- zica as well as the origins of the melody. Secondly, the text focuses on Ruthenian Court Musicians of the King Władysław II Jagiełło, musical contacts between the courts of the Grand Duke of Lithuania Vytautas and the great masters of the Teutonic Order, the place and meaning of the Mother of God churches in the Kievan Rus’, battle prayers to the Mother of God in the Ruthenian princely environment, singing to the Mother of God before battle in the Kievan Rus’ and the Ruthenian cult of the Mother of God in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. This research provides new grounds to consider the Bogurodzica as a piece of work of the ancient Ruthenian culture and suggests that eventually it could be included into the contemporary musical historiography of Ukraine, Belarus and Lithuania.

  • Princely Halych: Intriguing Prospects for Archaeological Research
    Journal of Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University Ihor Koval 60http://jpnu.pu.if.ua Vol. 1, No. 4 (2014), 60-72 UDC 9-72/77 (477.86) doi: 10.15330/jpnu.1.4.60-72 PRINCELY HALYCH: INTRIGUING PROSPECTS FOR ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESEARCH IHOR KOVAL Abstract. According to statistical data, permanent and local archaeological researches have covered only about ten per cent of the territory of Princely Halych, which opens up endless possibilities for research at the site of the ancient city. The chapter highlights the importance of the scientific and popular works by Antin Petrushevych, Lev Lavretskyi and Izydor Sharanevych, who in 1882 initiated the archaeological research on the mighty Principality of Halych (Galicia) and its capital, and the excavation of the first Christian church in Halych – the Church of the Holy Saviour mentioned in the Kyivan Chronicle. The little-known works of these scientists, which were published in Lviv newspapers in the 1880s, clearly show that Lavretskyi and Sharanevych’s findings received international acclaim and were a significant factor in rousing national consciousness and stimulating social activity of the Galician Ukrainians. It is difficult to explain the lack of interest in carrying out excavations outside the perimeter of the foundations of the Church, which could have enhanced the social, historical, topographical analysis of the monument and its surroundings. A particular fact that proves the importance of such research is the discovery of pendant seals, which modern sphragistics attributes to Prince Volodymyrko Volodarevych (1141- 1153). This conclusion is in good agreement with the Kyivan Chronicle and the findings of the archaeologists who excavated the Church of the Holy Saviour.

  • ALGIRDAS (Olgierd), Grand Duke of Lithuania (1345-77), Son of \Gedin\Inas, Father of \]Ogaua and '[^Vitrigaila
    PRIESTS. BISHOPS. 15 DUKES; ALGIRDAS (Olgierd), Grand Duke of Lithuania (1345-77), son of \Gedin\inas, father of \]ogaUa and '[^vitrigaila. He shared power with his brother Kfstutis: Vilnius and the eastern part of the country was Algirdas' domain, and Kfstutis reigned in Trakai, Samogitia and other western regions. Thus Algirdas was more concerned about relations with Russian duchies, while Kfstutis dealt with the Teutonic Order. Having lived an adventurous life, Kfstutis, a zealous supporter of pagan Lithuania, called "a heathen knight", enjoyed greater popularity than his brother. However, Algirdas was a more outstanding politician, thus in Algirdas' lifetime Kfstutis occupied only second place in the state. Q I: CtAlO It is known that in the year of Gediminas' death, Algirdas ruled Vitebsk and Krevo. His two wives - princess Maria of Vitebsk and prin• Grand Duke Algirdas of cess \luUanua of Tver - were Russian Orthodox. The majority of his Lilhuania. Artist J. Ozifblowski children adhered to the Russian Orthodox faith, but those who were born in Vilnius remained pagan, like their father. Algirdas annexed Kiev and many other Eastern Slavonic regions to Lithuania, waged war against the Grand Duke of Moscow Dmitry Donskoi and marched as far as the Kremlin. He founded an independ• ent Lithuanian Orthodox metropoly with the centre in Kiev. He defeated the Tartars at the Battle of Blue Waters (1363), participated in the strug• gle against the Teutonic knights with a demand to cede to Lithuania almost all of the ancient Prussian lands along with Konigsberg and a large part of Livonia. In Algirdas' times Lithuania became the largest and most likely strongest Central Eastern European power.

It is located in the southeast of the historical center of the city of Lutsk. It’s also known as Lyubart's Castle and Upper Castle. It was built in style of the Romano-Gothic architecture, later acquired the features of the Renaissance. Triad of founders The stone castle was built by order of the Lithuanian Prince Lyubart (also Liubartas, baptized name Demetrius, c. 1312-1383) in the second half of the 14th century (some historians believe that Lyubart was the last prince of the Kingdom of Galicia-Volhynia (1199- 1349)). On the Styr River a dam was created so that the future building would be on a certain island, and also a drawbridge was built. Ambitions of the Polish King to conquer Volhynia prompted Lyubart to equip Lutsk as a new capital and properly strengthen its defense. Even today, most of the city's residents call the building Lyubart’s Castle. The castle consisted of two fortifications – the Upper Castle and the Lower, or Okolnyi Castle. The Entrance Tower (also known as Lyubart's Tower) of the Upper Castle was raised by one tier and Styrova Tower was laid. A three-story Prince’s Palace was built and a stone Orthodox Church of St. Ivan Bogoslov (built in the second half of the 12th century) was located in the castle courtyard.
