Journal Title: Чорноморська минувшина - Year 2016, Vol 11, Issue
Abstract
In this article the attention is paid to the peculiarities of the ideas about the origin of the Ukrainian Cossacks (or term “Cossack”) and the so-called "Cossack nation" that were disseminated in the XVII-XVIII c. and experienced the evolution due to drastic changes in the history of the Ukrainian society and also probably as the result of a transition in the XVIII century to the scientific study of the history of Khazar people. For coverage of the problems different kinds of written sources were used. It is revealed that Khazar version of the origin of the Ukrainian Cossacks was spreaded in conditions of the change of the Cossack identity in the period of separating of the part of Cossack territory from the Commonwealth and making the union treaty between Hetmanate and Russian State with following factual gradual incorporation into it. This process was accompanied by the need to create a new concept of identity, which has become the Alano-Khazar, or Khazar, which, on the one hand, confirmed the originality of Ukraine before the Commonwealth and the Russian State, on the other hand, in Hetmanate acquired antipolish character. Conception occurred when Khazars is attributed to the Slavs. In the second half of the XVIII c. we can see gradually digressing from the Khazar theory and even its denial. The reasons for this laid in the fact that Cossacks were concidered as the Slav phenomenon (and ethnicity of Khazars was not so clearly associated with Slavs) or as a relatively recent "Russian" phenomenon (in opposite to the Khazars as the ancient people). Also, in our opinion, some influence had scientific study of the history of the Khazars, which stated non-Slav nature of the Khazar people.
