The studied part of the species’ range is unique and represents the northern range edge of the entire Spalacidae family and of European steppe faunal assemblages in National Museum general. In total, data on 146 record localities were amassed, including 13 localities in the fragmented and 133 in the continuous part of of Natural History, NAS the range.

Analysis of the current and former distribution of the greater mole rat revealed that the species range E-mail: [email protected] contracts from the west; earlier it was a common species in different regions of the Middle Dnipro Area (including Kyiv city), but the current range edge runs along the line connecting Buryn – Nedryhailiv – Lokhvytsia – Myrhorod – Hadiach – Zinkiv – Zaliznychne. Isolated settlements exist in adjacent territories, particularly in Ichnia Raion of Chernihiv Oblast, and Lubny, Khorol, and Kobeliaky Raions of Poltava Oblast. The study showed that the species’ range contracted by two times to 35,000 km2 for the last 100 years, which includes only 430,000 ha of suitable habitats (15% of the range), allowing the existence here of 86,000–215,000 individuals. In fact, the species remained only in habitats that have been minimally affected by arable farming and other forms of active agricultural use. Besides, the species shows a clear confinement to habitats located near human settlements such as untilled lands, pastures with moderate grazing, waste and neglected lands, which constitute a separate group of transformed and semi-natural habitats. Formally, this allows the greater mole rat to be considered as a synanthropic species, because its inhabited biotopes, beside the zone of offshoots of the Central Russian Upland, have remained only near villages and along roads. The species also has an important biocoenotic role due to its burrowing activity and as prey of predatory birds (e.g., of the long-legged buzzard and Eurasian eagle owl) and mammals. The feeding period of the offspring of these predators generally coincides with the aboveground activity of mole rats, which lasts during May–July with a peak in June. Aboveground activity is mainly related to the resettlement of mole rats to new sites and dispersal of the young, due to which they became victims of predators.

The aim of the present paper is to study the current features, generally southern-type communities are formed. In the research distribution of the greater mole rat within the forest-steppe zone in the area (to the east of the Dnipro river) only a single mole rat species occurs – northeast of Ukraine based on records dated 2000–2018. Additionally, the greater mole rat Spalax microphthalmus Guldenstaedt, 1770 – which we aim to determine the regions with the highest density of settlements, significantly simplifies the taxonomic attribution of collected faunal data to describe the species’ typical habitats, clarify the borders of its range, (Korobchenko & Zagorodniuk, 2009). the rate of range contraction and the level of range fragmentation.

We develop and test the contemporary approach to the analysis of the raw material market for marketing needs of the leading grain processing enterprises. Our results and findings are based on cluster analysis built according to the territorial principle. The stages of preparation and assessment of data are determined. The interpretation of results and comparison with traditional practices are also presented within the scope of the paper. The constructed model allows to find the hidden patterns in the development of priority qualities of potential counterparts taking into account their spatial dispersion. Our results might be of some interests to stakeholders in agricultural policy and regional development as well as to the policy-makers of various sorts. 1 Introduction A characteristic feature of the marketing theory is the constant consideration of changes in the socio-economic environment. Practice sets new tasks and defines new priorities, while the researchers describe and comprehend events and enrich the scientific and practical arsenal of marketing activities of enterprises.

  • 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.
