Загадкові севрюки: 3. Між українцями, росіянами та білорусами

Abstract

У статті аналізуються етнічні стосунки «земельного» етносу севрюків із сусідніми східнослов’янськими етносами, а також те, як вони були зрештою асимільовані українцями, росіянами й, меншою мірою, білорусами в ході масштабних міграційних процесів.В статье анализируются этнические отношения «земельного» этноса севрюков к соседним восточнославянским этносам, а также то, как они были в конце концов ассимилированы украинцами, русскими и, в меньшей мере, белорусами в ходе масштабных миграционых процессов.The article covers the question how the Sevriuks, while residing in the XIVth to XVIIth centuries on the Ukrainian-Russian-Belarusian borderland, became involved in manifold relations with neighbouring Eastern Slavic ethnic groups. On the basis of analysing these connections, one can assume that first the Sevriuks (especially their south-western fraction close to Dnipro Ukraine), having been drawn into the integration process in South Rus and then forming, along with the rest of the Ukrainian lands, a part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, were influenced by the Ukrainians and underwent the process of transformation into the latter’s subethnic group. Upon entry of the Siverian land into Muscovy in the early XVIth century, the north-eastern portion of Sevriuks close to the Russian ethnic territory fell under the influence of the Russians. In the XVIth, and especially in the XVIIth, century, towards the territory of the Siverian land were directed the powerful migratory streams from both Ukraine and Russia; and eventually, by the early XVIIIth century the Sevriuks were assimilated by the Ukrainians, Russians and, in a lesser degree, Belarusians.
