  • Bukovyna During Bohdan Khmelnytskyi's Campaigns In
    СУМСЬКИЙ ІСТОРИКО-АРХІВНИЙ ЖУРНАЛ. №XХVІІ. 2016 59 ВСЕСВІТНЯ ІСТОРІЯ UDC [94 (477):355]“1650-1653” OLEKSII V. BALUKH National Yuriy Fedkovych University, PhD (History), Associate Professor (Ukraine) BUKOVYNA DURING BOHDAN KHMELNYTSKYI’S CAMPAIGNS IN MOLDOVA OF 1650-1653: MILITARY AND POLITICAL DIMENSION Absrtact. The body of the article goes on to discuss the military and political situation in Moldavia in the context of the history of Northern Bukovina, Moldavian-Polish and Moldavian-Turkish relations that affected our region. In 1650-1653 Hetman Bohdan Khmelnytskyi made four military campaigns of Cossack troops in Moldova. During the first campaign the Cossacks and Tatars plundered the country, took many Moldavian settlements and towns, including Chernivtsi and Khotyn and signed such a desirable alliance with the Moldavian hospodar. During the next two years V. Lupu did not fulfill his obligations that caused the second campaign to Moldova in summer 1652. The marriage of Tymish and Rozanda caused concern among Moldavian boyars, who threw V. Lupu from the Iasi throne with the help of Wallachian and Transylvanian people. Rebellious Logofet G. Stefan became a new hospodar of Moldova. Those events caused the third march of B. Khmelnytskyi troops to Moldova in April-May 1653. The success in the battles against the troops of G. Stephan changed to failures and defeats from Wallachian and Transylvanians troops. As a result V. Lupu lost the Moldavian throne. Having learned that, Khmelnytskyi sent Cossacks led by Tymish to the fourth and the last Moldavian campaign, which ended with the failure and the death of the Hetman’s son. Keywords: Northern Bukovina, Moldavia, the military-political relations, Rzeczpospolita, Ottoman Empire, Wallachia, Transylvania, Bohdan Khmelnytskyi.

  • Khotyn Fortress
    Khotyn Fortress Festung Chotyn Schlagwörter: Festung Fachsicht(en): Kulturlandschaftspflege, Archäologie, Denkmalpflege, Landeskunde Gemeinde(n): Kreis(e): Bundesland: The Dniester, Khotyn Fortress and Alexander Nevsky Church Fotograf/Urheber: SofieLayla Thal Khotyn Fortress is one of the oldest fortifications in Ukraine. It is located on the right bank of the Dnister River, east of the city of Khotyn, which is more than 1.000 years old. Khotyn Fortress is an important attraction and a state historical and architectural reserve. Such a desirable fortress! According to various assumptions of historians, Khotyn Fortress was founded in the second half of the 13th or 14th century by the Principality of Galicia–Volhynia or Moldavian Principality (depending on the adopted date). The fortress had a border location and controlled the strategically important crossing of the Dnister River. Therefore, great battles often took place near the walls of the fortress, in particular, between the armies of the Ottoman Empire on the one hand, and the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth and Zaporizhzhya Cossacks on the other hand, in 1621 and 1673. Khotyn Fortress was one of the most powerful fortresses in Eastern Europe and never conquered by assault, only by long-lasting blockades. For centuries the fortress was part of various states (Principality of Galicia-Volhynia, Moldavian Principality, Ottoman, Austro-Hungarian, Russian empires), but the longest time it was owned by the Moldavian Principality. Two worlds intertwined here Staying of Khotyn Fortress under the influence of both Christian and Muslim cultures largely predetermined its architectural style. In the second half of the 15th century, being a part of the Moldavian Principality, Khotyn Fortress received thick (up to 5 Meter) and high (up to 40 Meter) walls and towers decorated with red brick ornaments – rows of images of „Babylon” (probably a symbol of architects of wisdom) and “Golgotha” (mount where Jesus Christ was crucified).
