    The Khmelnytsky Uprising Was a Cossack Rebellion in Ukraine Between the Years 1648–1657 Which Turned Into a Ukrainian War of Liberation from Poland

    The Khmelnytsky Uprising was a Cossack rebellion in Ukraine between the years 1648–1657 which turned into a Ukrainian war of liberation from Poland. Under the command of Hetman Bohdan Khmelnytsky , the Cossacks [warrior caste] allied with the Crimean Tatars, and the local peasantry, fought several battles against forces of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The result was an eradication of the control of the Polish and their Jewish intermediaries. Between 1648 and 1656, tens of thousands of Jews—given the lack of reliable data, it is impossible to establish more accurate figures—were killed by the rebels, and to this day the Khmelnytsky uprising is considered by Jews to be one of the most traumatic events in their history . The losses inflicted on the Jews of Poland during the fatal decade 1648-1658 were appalling. In the reports of the chroniclers, the number of Jewish victims varies between one hundred thousand and five hundred thousand…even exceeding the catastrophes of the Crusades and the Black Death in Western Europe. Some seven hundred Jewish communities in Poland had suffered massacre and pillage . In the Ukrainian cities situated on the left banks of the Dnieper, the region populated by Cossacks... the Jewish communities had disappeared almost completely . In 1 the localities on the right shore of the Dneiper or in the Polish part of the Ukraine as well as those of Volhynia and Podolia, wherever Cossacks had made their appearance, only about one tenth of the Jewish population survived . http://www.holocaust-history.org/questions/ukrainians.shtml Our research shows that a significant portion of the Ukrainian population voluntarily cooperated with the invaders of their country and voluntarily assisted in the Holocaust.

The paper analyzes Turkic glosses in Hungarian and Polish post/mediaeval texts from the point of view of their correlation with historical events, and of their com- patibility with the Piotrovskij-Altmann law. The correspondence is found to be very good in both cases. A slight modification is proposed to the equation to lend more lin- guistic significance to one of the coefficients. 0 Rationale The goal of the present paper is twofold. On one hand, it continues the work pioneered by Karl-Heinz Best (Best/Kohlhase 1983, Best 2003, 2006, 2008, 2010 and others), of collecting empirical evidence for the so-called Piotrovskij-Alt- mann law. By providing Hungarian and Polish data, it also adds to the issue of Turkic influence in Europe, first discussed quantitatively in Best (2005) using the example of German. On the other hand, it attempts to show how the quantitative and qualitative " ' ' ' K & '+ &D 8T 6 worked to demonstrate this to a more traditionalistic audience (1990: 371). My aim here is to illustrate how the quantitative approach can reveal a general ten- dency in a collection of detailed observations gathered and explained with the philological method.

  • The Zaporozhian Cossacks and the Dnipro River Refugium

    The Zaporozhian Cossacks and the Dnipro River Refugium

    Victor Ostapchuk The Zaporozhian Cossacks and the Dnipro River Refugium Aside from considerations of global history, there are good reasons for includ- ing the Black Sea basin in a conference and volume dedicated to Mediterranean rivers and river communities. The two seas are physically connected, and throughout much of their history there was close connectivity between them thanks to projection of political power and colonization, as well as commer- cial and cultural interaction. If we consider Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Italian, and Ottoman presences in the Black Sea and its coastal areas, it can be said that more often than not it was within the orbit of the Mediterranean rath- er than a region apart. On the other hand, control of the northern Black Sea coast by these powers was always limited, if not precarious, in the face of no- madic or semi-nomadic powers that ruled the Pontic steppe – for example, the Scythians, Sarmatians, Pechenegs, Polovtsians-Qipchaqs, and Mongols. Even the presence of the Ottomans in the northern Black Sea did not extend far beyond the coast into the steppes to the north, despite their suzerainty over the Crimean Khanate, a Tatar successor state to the Golden Horde ruled by a Chinggisid dynasty, whose dominions did extend beyond the Crimean penin- sula into these steppes. Leaving aside physical and human connections between the two seas, their basins are vastly different in their physical geography. There are superficial similarities – approximately half of the Mediterranean basin (western North Africa and most of the northern side) and half of the Black Sea basin (Anatolia, Caucasus, southern coast of Crimea) have a mainly rugged even mountain- ous coastal area.
  • Through the Reign of Catherine the Great

    Through the Reign of Catherine the Great

    Chapter Thirty-two Religion in Eastern Europe and the Middle East from 1648 through the Reign of Catherine the Great What in Polish and Lithuanian history is called “the Deluge” began in 1648, with the revolt of Ukraine from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Ukraine has been important in the history of religion, and especially of Judaism. The Hasidic movement began in Ukraine in the eighteenth century. A century earlier, Ukraine had been the scene of an especially dark chapter in Jewish history. In what is conventionally called “the Khmelnytsky Uprising” (1648-1654) Orthodox Christians killed many thousands of Judaeans, and those who survived were forced temporarily to flee for safety to other lands. In order to see the Khmelnytsky Uprising and the rise of Hasidism in perspective, a summary glance at earlier Ukrainian history is necessary. Early history of Ukraine: Judaism and Orthodox Christianity in Kievan Rus We have seen in Chapter 24 that from the eighth century to the 960s the steppe country above the Black Sea, the Caucasus range and the Caspian had been ruled by the khan or khagan of the Khazars. Prior to the arrival of the Khazars the steppe had been controlled consecutively by coalitions of mounted warriors named Sarmatians, Goths, Huns and Avars. Under these transient overlords the valleys of the great rivers - Bug, Dniester, Dnieper, Don, Volga - were plowed and planted by a subject population known to the historian Jordanes (ca. 550) as Antes and Sclaveni. From the latter designation comes the name, “Slavs,” and it can be assumed that the steppe villagers spoke a variety of Slavic dialects.

Those letters are stored in GStAPK, located in Berlin-Dahlem. The register contains about 150 names, mainly cavalry unit companions and officers, taken captive during the Zhovti Vody campaign (21st April–16th May 1648) and battle of Korsun (26th May 1648). It describes the place of their hostage, sometimes mentioning the amount of ransom. The register was probably made in the first half of 1649, and could have been ordered by Jeremi Wiśniowiecki. It might have been used by the Ruthenian voivode to prepare a special list for the Crown’s finance office, which con- tained the names of the captives and exact amount of ransom needed to be paid for them. This list is mentioned in the documents of the military commission which was held in March 1650. Key words: Zhovti Vody 1648, Korsun 1648, the Crown army, Khmelnytsky Uprising, Crimea, Tartars, captives. Słowa kluczowe: Żółte Wody 1648, Korsuń 1648, wojsko koronne, powstanie Bohdana Chmielnickiego, Krym, Tatarzy, jeńcy.

Rather than projecting today’s political borders into the past and proceeding from the claim that the Cossacks are either Russian or Ukrainian, this comparative project analyzes the nineteenth-century narratives that transform pre- national Cossack history into national patrimony. Following the Romantic era debates about national identity in the Russian empire, during which the Cossacks become part of both Ukrainian and Russian national self-definition, this dissertation focuses on the role of historical narrative in these burgeoning political projects.
