  • Analysis of Military Landscapes in Lviv Region (Ukraine)
    Ukrainian Journal of Ecology Ukrainian Journal of Ecology, 2020, 10(6), 305-309, doi: 10.15421/2020_297 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Analysis of military landscapes in Lviv Region (Ukraine) V.I.

Chayka1 1National University “Lviv Polytechnic” 12 Stepana Bandera St., Lviv, 79000, Ukraine 2Public Higher Educational Establishment "Vinnytsia Academy of Continuing Education" 13 Hrushevskyi St., Vinnytsia, 21050, Ukraine, 3Vinnytsia National Agrarian University, 3 Soniachna st., Vinnytsia, 21008, Ukraine *Corresponding author E-mail: [email protected] Received: 19.11.2020. Accepted 21.12.2020 The article analyzes the military landscapes, and a special role is given to the monuments of the military group of Lviv region. The role and significance of military landscapes in the formation of the historical and cultural heritage of Ukraine, which reflects the peculiarities of the formation of modern natural conditions of its specific regions, are considered. A chronological table is formed, their classification according to the time of origin, formation and origin of military landscapes of Lviv region. Key words: military landscapes; fortifications; natural landscapes; defensive towers; defensive shafts; mounds; wall; Lviv region. Introduction Military landscapes include complexes of military origin - ancient fortified settlements and fortresses, ditches and ramparts, mounds and more. Over time, the number of landscapes of military origin becomes smaller, which gives fewer opportunities to study their impact on nature and assess their historical value (Antonyuk, 2010). It is in Ukraine that the densest network of long-term border fortifications (SFS) built between the First and Second World Wars, known as the “Stalin Line” (old border) and the “Molotov Line” (new border), has been preserved.

    TEKA 2020, Nr 2 Komisji Architektury, Urbanistyki i Studiów Krajobrazowych Oddział Polskiej Akademii Nauk w Lublinie Artistic painted decorations on the outside walls of the castles in western Ukraine Mykola Bevz https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1513-7045 [email protected] Department of Build Conservation, Faculty of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Lublin University of Technology Abstract: The article describes the newfound fragments of polychrome paintings in the upper tiers of the southeastern cas- tle tower in Pomoriany (Pomorzany – in polish). The pictures are found on the outside wall of the tower. The polychrome murals are preserved in fragments. The paintings decorated the plastered walls of the at the top two levels of the tower and can be dated roughly to the 17th century. Another mural fragment, discovered on the outside of the north wall of the castle in Yazlivets, is much smaller, but with more vibrant colors. Such exterior castle walls decorating with polychrome paintings are rare in Ukraine. It is proposed to preserve and conserve these fragments of murals. Remains of polychrome art paintings are also found in other castles – in Zhovkva, Pidhirtsi, Stare Selo. Keywords: castles, painting murals, the towns of Pomoriany, Yazlivets, Zhovkva, Stare Selo, the 16−17th century. Introduction Painting mural at the exterior walls of castle buildings is a rare occurrence. The defensive function of the outside castle walls with holes cut for firing the enemy required walls to be strong and reliably thick, not decorated or painted. It became popular in recent times only, when castles lost their defensive value and turned into palace objects.

  • Part One-Toronto to Lviv-June 7 to 11
    1 2007 Tour to Western Ukraine By Jim Onyschuk Introduction The idea for this tour had been in the works for a number of years. The Toronto Ukrainian Genealogy Group (TUGG) had been discussing the need for a genuine genealogy research tour to Ukraine. Here we would search for our ancestor’s records in the various historical and Oblast (State) Archives. These sources were recently open to the public, including to foreigners, now that Ukraine had become an independent nation state in 1991. The first serious discussion occurred at our October 8, 2002 meeting, when we had Ihor Kuryliw speak on “Travel in Ukraine in the past and in the present.” Ihor ran Bloor Travel Agency Limited and explained the process of planning a trip to Ukraine and how things had changed over the years. In the spring of 2006, TUGG advertised the “Discover Your Roots Tour to Western Ukraine.” Unfortunately, many potential participants had already booked their vacation time and the numbers of committed participants were too few to activate the tour based on the quoted price, which was determined on the basis of 20 participants. We were forced to cancel the 2006 Tour. We decided to again offer the tour, except advertise it much earlier in 2007. At the April 11, 2006 TUGG Meeting, Ed Drebot spoke on his two years in Ukraine and visiting the archives. Later, on September 11, George Duravetz spoke on “How Canadians can Survive a Trip to Ukraine & Ukrainian Bureaucracy.” Next, on November 14, Gail Skikovitz spoke on her experiences in Ukraine and her visits to the archives in Ternopil and Poland.

  • Olesko Castle
    Olesko Castle One of the oldest in Ukraine Olesko castle is located on the top a high hill, which formed the basis for the fortification system. Below, along the slope was the rampart with stockade, further - one more line of the defensive wall with a moat filled with water. The impassable bogs surrounded the castle in the valley of the river Libertsiya. For the first time the castle is mentioned in 1327, when the owner was the Galicia- Volyn duke Yuriy II – the son of Masovian duke Troyden and the Ruthenian princess Mariya. This proves one of the Yuriy II sons – Andriy or Lev - to be the founder of the castle. The stone oval basement were put into the scheme of the castle. During the XIV century, locating on the boundary of the Galician and Volyn regions and subsequently between Poland and Lithuania , the castle was permanently changing its owners. At first, it belonged to the duke Lubart, then - to Alexander Koryatovych. In 1390 the Hungarian governor of Galicia duke Wladyslaw Opole passed the castle to the Galician Catholic bishops. In 1432 p. the Olesko castle was owned by Wladyslaw Jagiello but he also passed it to Ian from Siena, whose descendants became known as Olesky. They owned the castle until the beginning of the XVI century. In 1511 the ownership was divided between two daughters of Peter Oleskyi - Halyna and Jadwiga. Gradually the fortress was transformed into the royal residence. Afterwards, the current owners added a tower, chapel, several premises, and dug the wells with a depth of 42 m.
