Degree awarded June 2017 ii © 2017 Anna Kovalchuk iii DISSERTATION ABSTRACT Anna Kovalchuk Doctor of Philosophy Department of Comparative Literature June 2017 Title: Narrating the National Future: The Cossacks in Ukrainian and Russian Romantic Literature This dissertation investigates nineteenth-century narrative representations of the Cossacks—multi-ethnic warrior communities from the historical borderlands of empire, known for military strength, pillage, and revelry—as contested historical figures in modern identity politics. 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.

After the Bolshe- vik occupation of the Cossack territories, there was repression compared by Lenin to the Vendée genocide during the French Revolution.

  • Warfare, State and Society on the Black Sea Steppe, 1500-1700
    Warfare, State and Society on the Black Sea Steppe, 1500–1700 In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries Muscovy waged a costly struggle against the Crimean Khanate, the Ottoman Empire, and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth for control of the fertile steppe above the Black Sea. This was a region of great strategic and economic importance – arguably the pivot of Eurasia at the time. Yet, this crucial period in Russia’s history has, up until now, been neglected by historians. Brian L. Davies’s study provides an essential insight into the emergence of Russia as a great power. The long campaign took a great toll upon Russia’s population, economy, and institutions, and repeatedly frustrated or redefi ned Russian military and diplo- matic projects in the West. The struggle was every bit as important as Russia’s wars in northern and central Europe for driving the Russian state-building process, forcing military reform and shaping Russia’s visions of Empire. Warfare, State and Society on the Black Sea Steppe, 1500–1700 examines the course of this struggle and explains how Russia’s ultimate prevalence resulted from new strategies of military colonization in addition to improvements in army command-and-control, logistics, and tactics.

  • FLAGS and BANNERS of the ORENBURG COSSACK ARMY from the 18Th Century to Modern Times
    FLAGS AND BANNERS OF THE ORENBURG COSSACK ARMY from the 18th Century to Modern Times Victor Lomantsov Russian Centre of Vexillology and Heraldry The Cossacks were a free people who ran the borders of the Russian state and organized into semi-republican self-governing groups (“Cossack armies”). Most known Cossack settlements were in the modern territory of Ukraine, Siberia, along the Volga River, and near the city of Uralsk in the modern Republic of Kazakhstan. Cossacks lived by hunting, salt mining, and fishing. They defended their settlements from any enemy and from government troops, too. They enjoyed semi-democratic power (major decisions were adopted by the council, the Krug). Conflicts with Cossacks in the 17th and 18th centuries led the Russian government to believe that they might be useful for border service, and reached an agreement with them. The government granted some political rights to the Cossacks, they were free from some taxes, but they were required to serve as border guards. They received some compensation and became part of the governmental system. Cossacks lived near the borders in semi- military settlements and were always ready for military service. Except for self-organized and self-governed Cossack troops (the Don Cossacks and the Ural Cossacks), most Cossack armies were created by the government. Gradually, self- governed Cossack troops became uniformed and a regular part of the army, while still enjoying many privileges in their lifestyle and organization. The Orenburg Cossack army was one of these government-organized armies. After its founding in 1734, many Cossacks were moved to the new fortified city of Orenburg near the southern border of the Russian state.

  • O. W. Gerus MANIFESTATIONS of the COSSACK IDEA in MODERN
    O. W. Gerus MANIFESTATIONS OF THE COSSACK IDEA IN MODERN UKRAINIAN HISTORY: THE COSSACK LEGACY AND ITS IMPACT* Introduction The making of the modern Ukrainian nation was profoundly inflUenced and moUlded by the Cossack heritage. The Ukrainian Cossackdom had floUrished for three centUries (approximately 1500—1800) dUring which time it constitUted the mainstream of the Ukrainian historical experience.1 Its traditions, symbolisms and myths, when translated into socio-political ideas of the 19th and 20th cen­ tUries, stood for sUch concepts as social jUstice, individUal freedom, patriotism and territorial sovereignty. The significant cUrrents of the Ukrainian political thoUght and action drew heavily on selected aspects of that legacy. Elements of the Cossack tradition can be readily foUnd in most of the major developments in recent times, be they of sUbstantive or sUperficial natUre. It is, however, crit­ ical to the comprehension of modern manifestations (19th and 20th centUries) of the Ukrainian Cossack phenomenon (kozachyna) to recognize the duality of Cossackdom. Ukrainian Cossackdom fUnctioned on two parallel and distinct levels — that of the Zaporozhian Sich and that of the Hetmanshcbyna. It is with this problem in mind that the paper will focUs on the historic natUre of the Ukrainian Cossacks before proceeding to delineate their legacy. Background Historical evidence indicates that the Ukrainian Cossackdom was a direct re­ sUlt of the colonization movement by the Ukrainian popUlation of the soUthern steppe region which began in the late 15th century.2 AlthoUgh threatened by the predatory Tatars, that rich and dangeroUs frontier had always attracted * This paper was originally presented at the Second World Congress on Soviet and Eastern EUropean StUdies at Garmisch, Germany in 1980.

The present is a site of contestation between memory and history, as well as a site for recounting the distant past by reflecting it through the prism of the present. The transition from the Soviet Union to independent states in 1991 triggered tensions within these newly created nation-states, with the collective and individual past being given a range of new interpretations. The connection between memory and identity obtained a renewed force.
