Abstract
On the territory of the steppe part of the Southern Ukraine, the attention of scientists and the public attracted and attracted the places where the activities of the Ukrainian Cossacks unfolded, its cradle – Zaporozhchina, Sicheslavshchina. At the end of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. first of all thanks to the efforts of the Titans of historiographical, ethnographic, literary and mytho-poetic ideological creativity Y. P. Novitsky, A. F. Kashchenko, D. I. Yavornytsky, this place seemed to be "debunked", which made it a new, attractive, color for many of their contemporaries, and acquired the signs of sacredness that remains to this day, despite the catastrophic consequences of flooding with man-made reservoirs. Today, there are projects of physical revival, liberation from the watercourses, these territories, which, of course, will rebuild not only archaeological and scientifichistorical research, but also the symbolic-memorial movement with renewed vigor. The purpose of this article is to highlight one of the brightest moments in the process of involving Cossack places in the memorial space – excursions there the members of the Odesa branch of the Imperial Russian Military Historical Society, which took place in May 1909. The appeal to this episode is due to the fact that it covers a few important aspects: the little-known activity of the military society and the part of the biography of "Cossack father" D. I. Yavornytsky. Thus, a trip to the members of the Odessa Military Society in the Cossack places of the Dnieper under the leadership of D.I. Yavornytsky strengthened cooperation between the Odesa and Katerynoslav centers of historical science, which was clearly reflected during the Katerynoslav archaeological congress in 1905. In a more global sense, the journey is one of the important episodes of the complex interaction process of various factors in shaping the historical memory of Ukrainian history, the Cossacks. Members of the Odesa Military Society were sympathizers of imperial patriotism, however, their journey and subsequent activity on perpetuating the memory of the Cossacks was advantageous for the Ukrainian model of nationbuilding. This process was skillfully moderated by such a charismatic leader as D. I. Yavornytsky Thus, we see an illustration of the importance of the personal factor in history, the great role of romantic representations in historical research.
