Primitive society in the lands of modern Ukraine. Greek colonies. 3. East Slavic Tribes 1. General issues. The integrated course “History of Ukraine and Ukrainian Culture” consists of 2 components – historical and cultural. The first one, History, is the science that studies the development of human society from the appearance of the first human to nowadays basing on historical sources. Historical sources are ones that directly reflect historical process. It may be archaeological items before the appearance of writing, documentary sources, ethnographical, oral, linguistical, photo and films, phonodocuments. Historiography is the totality of scientific researches in the field of history dedicated to a particular topic, problem or historical period. These are books and articles based on historical sources. Also it is considered as a scientific discipline that studies a history of historical science. To be a science discipline needs its own object and subject. The object is the same for all the Social Sciences. This is society. But the subject is specific for separate disciplines. For History it is a historical development of human society, for History of culture it is a cultural development of human society. The subject of History of Ukraine is a historical development of human society on the territory of modern Ukraine from the appearance of the first human there approximately 1 million years ago. Subject of history of culture is a complex study of big variety of spheres: history of science and technique, household activities, education and social thought, folklore and literature studies, history of arts. History of culture generalizes all these knowledge and investigates culture as a system of different branches. The development of human society includes culture, so we can use the subject of History of Ukraine as the subject for the whole course. The main particularity of History of Ukraine is the separation of lands under the rule of different countries during the part of its history. Western Ukraine was separated for a long time. In Western Ukraine there are several historical regions that have their own history. There are Eastern Galicia (or Halychyna) with the historical center of Lviv (Lvov, Lwow, Lemberg), Northern Bukovina (also Bukovyna, historical center is Chernivtsi), Volhynia (main center is Lutsk), Transcarpathia (Zakarpattia, historical center is Uzhhorod (Uzhgorod)). In the main part that was predominantly under the rule of Russian state. We also have specific regions: Sloboda Region (the center is Kharkov (Kharkiv)), The Donbas (the center is Donetsk), Novorussia (the center is Odessa), Podolia (Podillia, the center is Vynnytsia), Sivershina (the center is Chernihiv (Chernigov)), Central Ukraine (the center is Kiev (Kyiv)), Zaporizhzhia (Zaporozhye) (the center is Dnipro (Dnepropetrovsk)). The status of Crimea and some other regions are under the question. War conflict is continuing. But according to the Constitution modern Ukraine has an area of 603,628 km2 (233,062 sq. m.), making it the largest country 5 entirely within Europe excluding Russia. According to the State Statistics Service of Ukraine information on the 1st of July of 2017, the population was 42,297,400 residents, including Crimea and the Donbas. Ukraine is located in Central-Eastern Europe and borders Russia to the east, northeast and south, Belorussia to the northwest, Poland, Slovakia and Hungary to the west, Romania and Moldova to the southwest, and the Black Sea and Sea of Azov to the south and southeast. The capital of Ukraine is Kiev. Also Ukraine consists of two parts: Left and Right bank from Dnieper River. But it is vice versa on the map 6 because it depends on the direction of the river flow (to the south). Historically, this was an important trade route, and many of the first major settlements in Ukraine, including its capital city, Kiev, were established on the banks of the Dnieper. 2. Primitive society in the lands of modern Ukraine. Greek colonies. Primitive society is the first social and economic formation with a low level of development of productive forces and classless social organization – primitive communism. Primitive culture had its own characteristic feature – syncretism. It means that forms of consciousness, economic activities, social life, and art were not separated and opposed to each other. Any type of activity contained another one. So, it is hard and pointless to separate history and culture of that period. History of Ukraine started in Transcarpathia 1 million years ago when the first archaeoantropic human had come to this area. 40,000 years ago first people of modern type (Cro-Magnons) came to the territory of Ukraine and replaced the previous type – the Neanderthals. The period of primitive society was the most long-drawn-out in human history. It is 99 % of its history and culture. Archaic culture is the longest, the most mysterious and difficult for our understanding period of the cultural development. So, it has its own periods. Periods received its names according the main materials for making tools. The first one, Stone Age, includes Paleolithic, Mesolithic, Neolithic and Eneolithic periods. These periods lasted different time for different areas. Paleolithic means “Old Stone Age” and begun with the first use of stone tools. But Paleolithic humans made tools not only of stone, but of bone and wood. Due to the absence of written records from this time period, nearly all of our knowledge of Paleolithic human culture and way of life comes from archaeology and ethnographic comparisons to modern hunter-gatherer cultures that live similarly to their Paleolithic predecessors. The earliest part of the Paleolithic is called the Lower Paleolithic (during excavations, the most ancient objects were found deeper, hence the name), beginning with first arhaeantrops and with the earliest stone tools. It had lasted in the world since 3 million years BC for 10 thousand years ago. Primitive people started not only to use things but also to create it, to sharpen stick so on. These poorly adjusted people in 200-150 thousand years ago could live only in areas of Ukraine with mild climate: in the cave Kiik-Koba in Crimea, near modern villages Luka-Vrublevetska on the Dniester, Amvrosievka in the Donbas, and Koroliovo in Transcarpathia.

  • Comparative Analysis of the Process of Initial State Genesis in Rus' and Bulgaria
    Comparative Analysis of the Process of Initial State Genesis in Rus' and Bulgaria Evgeniy A. Shinakov Svetlana G. Polyakova Bryansk State University ABSTRACT There has not been completed yet the typological research of Euro- pean polities' forms (of the complexity level of ‘barbarous’ state- hood, ‘complex chiefdoms’, and rarely – ‘early states’ – in terms of political anthropology), and of the pathways of their emergence. This research can be amplified with the study of the First Bulgar- ian kingdom before Omurtag's and Krum's reforms (the end of the 7th – the early 9th century) and synchronous to it complex chief- dom of ‘Rosia’ (in terms of Porphyrpgenitus) of the end of the 9th – mid-10th century. They have typological similarity in military and contractual character of pathways of state genesis (in ‘Rosia’ it is supplemented by foreign trade) as well as in the form of ‘barba- rous’ (pre-Christian) statehood. It has a multilevel – ‘federal’ – character. At the head there were the Turks-Bulgarians and the ‘Rhos’ (‘Ruses’), whose settlements had limited territory, the ‘slavini- yas’ with their own power structure were subordinated to them and supervised by the ‘federal’ power strong points. The ‘supreme’ power domination is supported not only by the fear of weapon, but also by the treaties based on reciprocity. The common interest was, for exam- ple, the participation in robbery of the Byzantine Empire and interna- tional trade. At first in a peaceful way, later with conflicts, Bulgaria was transformed into a unitarian territorial state by the reforms of the pagans Оmurtag and Krum, and then of the Christian Boris (the latter had led to the conflict within the top level of power – among the Turkic-Bulgarians aristocracy).

  • Reconstructive Forgery: the Hadiach Agreement (1658) in the History of the Rus'
    Journal of Ukrainian Studies 35–36 (2010–2011) Reconstructive Forgery: The Hadiach Agreement (1658) in the History of the Rus' Serhii Plokhy Few events in Ukrainian and Polish history have provoked as many what-ifs as the agreement concluded between the Cossack hetman Ivan Vyhovsky and representa- tives of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth near the city of Hadiach in the autumn of 1658. Long before the rise of virtual and counterfactual history, historians in Poland and Ukraine defied the maxim of positivist historiography—that history has no subjunctive mood—and plunged into speculation on how differently the history of both countries would have turned out if, instead of fighting prolonged and exhausting wars, Poland-Lithuania and the Hetmanate had reunited in a new and reformed Com- monwealth. Would this have stopped the decline of Poland, the ruin of Ukraine, Ottoman interventions, and the rise of Muscovy as the dominant force in the region? The Union of Hadiach, as the agreement became known in historiography, had the potential to influence all these processes. It envisioned the creation of a tripartite Commonwealth—the Kingdom of Poland, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, and a Principality of Rus', with the Cossack hetman as its official head. The union was the culmination of the activities of moderate forces among the Polish and Ukrainian elites and the embodiment of the hopes and dreams of the Ruthenian (Ukrainian and Bela- rusian) nobility of the first half of the seventeenth century. Nevertheless, the com- promise that the union embodied was rejected by mainstream forces on both sides. The Commonwealth Diet ratified the text of the treaty with a number of important omis- sions, but even in that form it was viewed with suspicion and rejected by the Polish nobiliary elites, which could not reconcile themselves to the prospect of Orthodox Cossacks enjoying equal rights with Catholic nobles.

  • Glass in Ancient and Medieval Eastern Europe As Evidence of International Contacts
    Archeologia Polski 61 (2016), pp. 191-212 Archeologia Polski, LXI: 2016 PL ISSN 0003-8180 Ekaterina STOLYAROVA GLASS IN ANCIENT AND MEDIEVAL EASTERN EUROPE AS EVIDENCE OF INTERNATIONAL CONTACTS Abstract: This paper deals with glass artifacts as markers of interregional economic, religious and cultural links, trade routes, and social stratification. It is focused on finds from Eastern Europe from the Bronze Age to the 17th–18th centuries A.D. Keywords: glass beads, glass vessels, Eastern Europe, international links. Introduction Glass is one of the most ancient artificial materials possessing unique properties from which a variety of artifacts can be made. Among these are luxury artifacts and objects of applied art, tesserae for figured mosaics and stained glass, glass icons and ritual vessels, window-panes and tableware as well as small ornaments, i.e., arm rings, beads, fingerings, buttons and pendants. These artifacts were used in daily life, sold, donated, used to decorate clothes, interiors and architectural structures. They were symbols of their owner’s social and economic position. The value of glass as a historical source stems from its extensive application. Glass objects provide information on the formation and spread of glassmaking and on the place of glass in scientific concepts and the production of a given epoch. Chemical properties of glass and means of its production are of technological interest. Glass artifacts are important for the study of culture and daily life of a given epoch, e.g. the history of costume. Excavated glass objects are examined from the angle of their functions, peculiarities of their form and decoration, the spread and evolution of different type.
