Princes and Cossacks: Putting Ukraine on the Map of Europe Princes and Cossacks: Putting Ukraine on the Map of Europe Serhii Plokhy The word “Ukraine,” which today is used to define an independent country in the middle of Europe, has medieval origins and was first used by the Kyivan chroniclers of the twelfth century to define the areas of today’s Ukraine bor- dering on the Pontic steppes. In the second half of the seventeenth century the term “Ukraine” entered the international vocabulary as one of the names of the Cossack polity created in the course of the Khmelnytsky Uprising (1648– 57). By that time, European geographers could already locate Ukraine on the maps produced by the French engineer and cartographer Guillaume Levas- seur de Beauplan. His, however, was not the first depiction of Ukraine on a European map.1 The terms “Ukraine” and “Cossacks” appeared on European maps simul- taneously in the first decades of the seventeenth century. Both terms were introduced for the first time on a map of Eastern Europe produced by a group of cartographers and engravers assembled by Mykalojus Kristupas Radvila (Mikołaj Krzysztof Radziwiłł) the Orphan, one of the most prominent aristo- crats in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The map, titled “Detailed Description of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and Other Adjacent Lands,” captured not only major political and territorial, but also social and cultural changes that had taken place in the region in the course of the sixteenth century. The Radvila map covers the territories of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania as they existed before the Union of Lublin (1569) between the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, and has a supplement consisting of a separate map of the Dnieper River. By far the most important new devel- opment reflected on the Radvila map was the emergence of a border divid- ing the Grand Duchy almost in half. The new boundary was in some of its For the background information on the history of Ukraine this essay draws on the relevant chapters of my book The Gates of Europe: A History of Ukraine (New York: Basic Books, 2015), on which I worked concurrently with producing the original draft of this paper. 1 Guillaume Levasseur de Beauplan, A Description of Ukraine, trans.

The word “Ukraine,” used to describe part of the lands south of the new border, referred to the territory on the right bank of the Dnieper extending from Kyiv in the north to Kaniv in the south. Beyond Kaniv, if one trusted the cartographer, there were wild steppes, marked Campi deserti citra Boristenem (Desert plains on this side of the Bo- rysthenes). “Ukraine” thus covered a good part of the region’s steppe frontier, which had become the homeland of the social group subsequently known as the Ukrainian Cossacks.2 The Radvila map provides unique insight into three interrelated pro- cesses that shaped the future of the Pontic steppes: the renegotiation of rela- tions between royal crown and the local aristocracy; the economic and cul- tural colonization of the Dnieper area, and last but not least the emergence of the Ukrainian Cossacks as a powerful military and later political and cultural force. The Princes The Radvila map is often attributed to Tomasz Makowski, its principle en- graver, but was produced, in fact, by a group of cartographers, which included Maciej Strubicz. Most of the work on the map was done between 1585 and 1603, while the first known edition was published only in 1613 by Hessel Ger- ritsz (Gerard) of Amsterdam.3 The Radvila map in many ways was a continuation of work initiated by King Stefan Batory at the time of the Livonian War, and can be viewed as sign of increased involvement of the aristocracy in the political, religious and 2 See a copy of the 1613 edition of the map in the Stanford University Libraries: MAGNI DVCATVS LITHVANIAE, CAETERARVMQVE REGIONVM ILLI ADIACENTIVM EX- ACTA DESCRIPTIO.

PUTTING UKRAINE ON THE MAP OF EUROPE 325 cultural realms dominated earlier by the king. Radvila was assisted in his work by fellow aristocrats, and it has been argued that the information on the Dnieper settlements was supplied to him by his peer, the palatine of Kyiv and prominent Volhynian magnate Prince Kostiantyn Ostrozky. Not unlike the Kronika polska, litewska, żmódzka i wszystkiéj Rusi by Maciej Stryjkowski (1582), sponsored by a fellow Lithuanian aristocrat, the bishop of Samogitia (Žemai- tija) Merkelis Giedraitis, Radvila’s map was not limited in scope to the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and included the lands of Rus´, lost to Poland as a result of the Union of Lublin (1569). The elites of the Grand Duchy were clearly un- happy with the deal they got in 1569 in Lublin and were eager to renegotiate the political and cultural spaces created by the Union.4 All over Europe, the sixteenth century was marked by the strengthening of royal authority, centralization of the state, and regularization of political and social practices. The other side of the coin was increasing aristocratic op- position to this growth. Both tendencies were fully apparent in the prepara- tion and conclusion of the Union of Lublin, which had as its goal not only the unification of the two parts of the Polish-Lithuanian state, but also strength- ening of the crown. If King Sigismund Augustus wanted the Union, the aris- tocratic families of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania opposed it. But many of their concerns had to be put aside because of a growing external threat to the Grand Duchy that could be met only with the help of Poland. In 1558, after taking control of the Volga trade route by defeating and forc- ing into submission the two successors of the Golden Horde, the Kazan and Astrakhan khanates, Ivan the Terrible moved his armies westward, trying to gain access to the Baltic Sea. The Livonian War, which Ivan started that year, would last for a quarter century and see Sweden, Denmark, Lithuania, and, eventually, Poland involved in the struggle. In 1563, Muscovite troops crossed the borders of the Grand Duchy, taking the city of Polatsk (now in Belarus) and raiding Vitsebsk, Shkloŭ, and Orsha. This defeat mobilized support for the Union among the lesser Lithuanian nobility. Given Muscovite claims to the lands of Kyivan Rus´, which included not only Polatsk but also the rest of the Ukrainian-Belarusian territories of the Grand Duchy, the future looked bleak for the Duchy’s ruling elite. Union with the Kingdom of Poland now seemed the only possible solution. In December 1568, Sigismund Augustus convened two Diets in the city of Lublin—one for the Kingdom, the other for the Grand Duchy—in the hope that their representatives would hammer out conditions for the new union. The negotiations began on a positive note, as the two sides agreed to the joint election of the king, a common Diet, or parliament, and broad auton- 4 S.

Nonetheless, the magnates would not return the royal lands in their possession—the principal demand of the Executionists. Directed by Mykalojus Radvila (Mikołaj Radziwiłł) the Red, the leader of the Lithuanian Calvinists and the victorious commander of the Lithuanian army in its recent clashes with Muscovite troops, the Lithuanian delegates made no concessions. They packed their bags, assembled their retinues of noble clients, and left the Diet. This move backfired. Unexpectedly for the departing Lith- uanians, the Diet of the Kingdom of Poland with the king’s blessing began to issue decrees transferring one province of the Grand Duchy after another to the jurisdiction of the Kingdom of Poland. The Lithuanian magnates who had feared losing their provinces to Mus- covy were now losing them to Poland instead.

  • The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth As a Political Space: Its Unity and Complexity*
    Chapter 8 The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth as a Political Space: Its Unity and Complexity* Satoshi Koyama Introduction The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (Rzeczpospolita) was one of the largest states in early modern Europe. In the second half of the sixteenth century, after the union of Lublin (1569), the Polish-Lithuanian state covered an area of 815,000 square kilometres. It attained its greatest extent (990,000 square kilometres) in the first half of the seventeenth century. On the European continent there were only two larger countries than Poland-Lithuania: the Grand Duchy of Moscow (c.5,400,000 square kilometres) and the European territories of the Ottoman Empire (840,000 square kilometres). Therefore the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was the largest country in Latin-Christian Europe in the early modern period (Wyczański 1973: 17–8). In this paper I discuss the internal diversity of the Commonwealth in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and consider how such a huge territorial complex was politically organised and integrated. * This paper is a part of the results of the research which is grant-aided by the ‘Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research’ program of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science in 2005–2007. - 137 - SATOSHI KOYAMA 1. The Internal Diversity of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth Poland-Lithuania before the union of Lublin was a typical example of a composite monarchy in early modern Europe. ‘Composite state’ is the term used by H. G. Koenigsberger, who argued that most states in early modern Europe had been ‘composite states, including more than one country under the sovereignty of one ruler’ (Koenigsberger, 1978: 202).

  • The Khmelnytsky Uprising Was a Cossack Rebellion in Ukraine Between the Years 1648–1657 Which Turned Into a Ukrainian War of Liberation from Poland
    The Khmelnytsky Uprising was a Cossack rebellion in Ukraine between the years 1648–1657 which turned into a Ukrainian war of liberation from Poland. Under the command of Hetman Bohdan Khmelnytsky , the Cossacks [warrior caste] allied with the Crimean Tatars, and the local peasantry, fought several battles against forces of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The result was an eradication of the control of the Polish and their Jewish intermediaries. Between 1648 and 1656, tens of thousands of Jews—given the lack of reliable data, it is impossible to establish more accurate figures—were killed by the rebels, and to this day the Khmelnytsky uprising is considered by Jews to be one of the most traumatic events in their history . The losses inflicted on the Jews of Poland during the fatal decade 1648-1658 were appalling. In the reports of the chroniclers, the number of Jewish victims varies between one hundred thousand and five hundred thousand…even exceeding the catastrophes of the Crusades and the Black Death in Western Europe. Some seven hundred Jewish communities in Poland had suffered massacre and pillage . In the Ukrainian cities situated on the left banks of the Dnieper, the region populated by Cossacks... the Jewish communities had disappeared almost completely . In 1 the localities on the right shore of the Dneiper or in the Polish part of the Ukraine as well as those of Volhynia and Podolia, wherever Cossacks had made their appearance, only about one tenth of the Jewish population survived . http://www.holocaust-history.org/questions/ukrainians.shtml Our research shows that a significant portion of the Ukrainian population voluntarily cooperated with the invaders of their country and voluntarily assisted in the Holocaust.

THE SIX HUNDREDTH ANNIVERSARY of the "Baptism" of our Nation, which you are solemnly celebrating in this year of grace, is for you and your people an occasion for the deepening of faith, of prayer and of spiritual renewal, in which the whole Church is united with intense and fraternal participation. As I have recalled in various circumstances - and most recently in my homily at the Mass on 1 January last - the whole Church commemorates with you this very significant anniversary and with you gives thanks "to God for his inexpressible gift" (2 Cor 9:15). The Church in Rome and all the sister Churches throughout the world join you in the fervent prayer of thanksgiving that you are raising to the Lord for the inestimable grace of the "Baptism", for the welcome which it met among your people and for the benefits which it brought them, and for the strength and fervour with which your fathers preserved it and developed it amid the vicissitudes of a history six centuries long. The universal Church is aware of and grateful for the great spiritual wealth which the Lithuanian Catholic community has brought and still brings to the ecclesial communion and recognizes in its centuries-old witness of fidelity to Christ tire action of the Holy Spirit, who "by the power of the Gospel makes the Church grow, perpetually renews her, and leads her to perfect union with her Spouse ".(1) 2 As you know, in order to manifest this universal communion with you, on 28 June next, simultaneously with the national celebration in Vilnius, I shall preside at the tomb of the Apostle Peter at a solemn concelebration, during which I shall have the joy of beatifying a great son and Pastor of your people, Archbishop Jurgis Matulaitis.

The paper analyzes Turkic glosses in Hungarian and Polish post/mediaeval texts from the point of view of their correlation with historical events, and of their com- patibility with the Piotrovskij-Altmann law. The correspondence is found to be very good in both cases. A slight modification is proposed to the equation to lend more lin- guistic significance to one of the coefficients. 0 Rationale The goal of the present paper is twofold. On one hand, it continues the work pioneered by Karl-Heinz Best (Best/Kohlhase 1983, Best 2003, 2006, 2008, 2010 and others), of collecting empirical evidence for the so-called Piotrovskij-Alt- mann law. By providing Hungarian and Polish data, it also adds to the issue of Turkic influence in Europe, first discussed quantitatively in Best (2005) using the example of German. On the other hand, it attempts to show how the quantitative and qualitative " ' ' ' K & '+ &D 8T 6 worked to demonstrate this to a more traditionalistic audience (1990: 371).

  • 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.

Rather than projecting today’s political borders into the past and proceeding from the claim that the Cossacks are either Russian or Ukrainian, this comparative project analyzes the nineteenth-century narratives that transform pre- national Cossack history into national patrimony. Following the Romantic era debates about national identity in the Russian empire, during which the Cossacks become part of both Ukrainian and Russian national self-definition, this dissertation focuses on the role of historical narrative in these burgeoning political projects.
