  • The Image of the Ukrainian Revolt and Hetman Bohdan Khmel’Nyts’Kyi in Foreign Travel Accounts
    Framing The Borderland: The Image of the Ukrainian Revolt and Hetman Bohdan Khmel’nyts’kyi in Foreign Travel Accounts FRANK SYSYN In many ways, Ukraine burst upon the European scene in the mid-seventeenth century. The great revolt of 1648 brought the largest European state, the Polish- Lithuanian Commonwealth, to near disintegration. By the 1650s events in the Cossack capital of Chyhyryn were being closely followed from Stockholm to Constantinople. European newspapers avidly printed reports on the Hetman Bohdan Khmel’nyts’kyi and his armies. Yet for much of Europe “the Ukraine” or the borderland of the Polish state was still a terra incognita about which statesmen and reading publics needed basic information and about which many uncertainties reigned. Within a few years of the revolt, the thirst for information was answered by publications on Ukraine and accounts of the revolt.1 The first texts were issued by 1 On the accounts of the revolt and reactions to it, see Volodymyr Sichyns'kyi, Chuzhyntsi pro Ukraïnu (Kyiv, 1993) (from the 2nd expanded Prague edition of 1942), and the Eng- lish translation Ukraine in Foreign Comments and Descriptions from the VIth to XXth Century (New York, 1953); Mykhailo Hrushevsky, History of Ukraine-Rus', vol. 8, trans.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 ABSTRACT: This dissertation examines the interconnection between history, national identity and politics in Eastern and Southern Ukraine (with special reference to the Donbass, Odessa oblast and the Republic of Crimea). The study comprises three distinct parts: the first section (three chapters) explores the history of the region from the beginning of significant settlement in the 18th. century to the onset of the Perestroika reforms. The second part of the study (Chapter Four) considers how intermarriage as well as other demographic forces have informed the regional identity. Currently, much of the population of the region identifies as both Ukrainian and Russian; this identification is generally weak and unstable. This informs popular attitudes towards such key questions as Ukraine's statehood and its relations with Russia.
