  • Ukraine and Russia in Their Historical Encounter
    Hans-Joachim Torke The Unloved Alliance: Political Relations between Muscovy and Ukraine in the Seventeenth Century The manifold relations between Russia and Ukraine in the seventeenth cen¬ tury were played out on at least three levels: official relations on the political, diplomatic and military level; semi-official relations in the ecclesiastical- pedagogical and commercial sectors; and unofficial relations concerned with spiritual and cultural influences. Both the latter complexes are related to the first and cannot be disregarded here, although this article focuses on political events and on the way in which they were understood by decision-makers. My purpose here is not to employ well-known and frequently consulted sources in order to elicit yet another interpretation of the Pereiaslav Agreement of 1654 or the character of relations between Muscovy and the Hetmanate in the ensuing period. Concerning Pereiaslav, there exist at least seven different interpretations (temporary alliance, personal union, real union, vassalage, protectorate, autonomy and incorporation), and in regard to the second topic, there is also a range of interpretations from full independence to complete in¬ corporation of the Cossack state. No Western scholar has yet written an account that goes beyond O’Brien’s monograph to take in the whole century.1 The question remains whether the period from the first contacts of the Dnieper Cossacks with Muscovy in the sixteenth century to the end of the Great Northern War in 1721, examined as a whole, yields a perspective on Muscovite policy that can be reconciled with the formula “Russian Imperialism from Ivan the Great to the Revolution.”2 It may be recalled that the historical roots of Russian imperialism were discussed in the American Slavic and East European Review in the early 1950s.
