Commencing with perceived preferential legislation, the Church has risen to heightened influence that is subsequently being used to disenfranchise non-traditional sexual communities.

The Battle of Poltava fought on June 27-28, 1709 was the decisive victory of Peter I of Russia over Charles XII of Sweden in the most famous of the battles of the Great Northern War. While the date given on the map reflects a July 8, 1709 battle, the modern date is given as June 27-28. After the Battle of Narva in 1700, Czar Peter I was reorganized his army, while Charles XII of Sweden fought for 6 years against Augustus II of Saxony-Poland. Peter first offensive move with his reorganized Russian Army was to establish the city of Saint Petersburg in Swedish territory. Charles attacked the Russian heartland with the intent on an assault on Moscow from Poland. The Swedish army of almost 44,000 men left Saxony on August 22, 1707 and marched eastwards. When they reached the Vistula River and crossed on December 30, then continued through Masuria and took Grodno on January 28, 1708. The Swedes continued to the area around Smorgon and Minsk ,where the army went into winter quarters.

  • © Copyright 2020 Oksana Mykhed “A Plague on Your Borders:” Disease
    1 “A Plague on Your Borders:” Disease Control and Administrative Reforms in Late Eighteenth-Century Ukraine Oksana Mykhed Devastated and unexplored, welcoming and opened to a stranger, – these were the characteristics a traveler would give to the land and people living in late eighteenth-century Ukraine. Danylo Samoilovych, a Ukrainian surgeon who advanced his medical career in the Russian Empire, left a similar impression of the region in his writings.1 Exhausted and ill after his prolonged service in the army battling in the Russo-Ottoman war, Samoilovych travelled from Moldavia to St. Petersburg in late spring – early summer of 1770. To reach the imperial capital, the physician crossed Polish and Russian-controlled territories in Ukraine right before a severe outbreak of bubonic plague in Kyiv that occurred in 1770–71. The outbreak that began in the Polish Ukraine, spread to Kyiv, and struck many towns and villages in Left-Bank Ukraine was the largest documented epidemic of the pestilence in the region in the eighteenth century. Samoilovych’s rare eye-witness traveler’s account confirmed that the Kyiv medical tragedy was both predictable and inevitable. The physician witnessed that the plague was already terrorizing small towns and villages in Right-Bank Ukraine several months before the catastrophe in Kyiv and was among the first medical observers who connected the tragedy to unregulated population movement and lack of special medical precautions organized by the governments in the two banks of Ukraine. 2 1 The work and life of Danylo Samoilovych [or Danila Samoilovich in some sources] did not attract much scholarly attention.

  • 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. Brian L. Davies is Associate Professor of History at the University of Texas at San Antonio. His publications include State Power and Community in Early Modern Russia: The Case of Kozlov, 1635–1649 (2004).

  • The Annals of UVAN, Vol. VI, 1958, No. 3-4 (21-22)
    THE CONSTITUTION OF PYLYP ORLYK* MYKOLA VASYLENKO The decision reached by Hetman Mazepa along with certain high-ranking Ukrainian officers and Cossack-Zaporozhians in 1708 to ally themselves with the Swedish King, is one of the episodes of Ukrainian history that is neither clearly under­ stood nor thoroughly studied. Because conditions have been unfavorable, much of the background is still unknown and no research has been done. The most important documents are probably lost. Some may have been destroyed immediately by Hetman Mazepa himself as a quite understandable precau­ tion. His negotations with Poland and Sweden had evidently been carried on in utmost secrecy; at any moment they could have been detected by the Russian Government and have caus­ ed an official inquiry. Under such conditions no written doc­ uments that could serve as evidence would have been kept. Very important secret documents had been burnt by Piper, First Secretary of State of Charles XII, near Poltava on the eve of the day he gave himself up as a prisoner to the Rus­ sians.1 One may guess that among these papers were the doc­ uments referring to the negotiations between the Swedish Gov­ ernment and the Ukraine. Piper naturally did not want these documents to fall into the hands of the Russian gov­ ernment and thus reveal other more important plans and in­ tents, as well as disclose a wider circle of the officers who had participated in this plot. * This is a reprint from Uchenye Zapiski Instituta istorii RANHON, Moscow 1929, Vol. IV, pp. 153-171, and is printed as one in the series of translations of Ukrainian source material (cf.
