Ukrainian parallels to Jagiellonianism and Sarmatism in the history of Europe in the 18th-19th centuries

Abstract

The purpose of the work is to analyse Ukrainian parallels to Jagiellonianism and Sarmatism in the history of Europe in the 18th-19th centuries, particularly in the musical sphere. The research methodology involves a combination of historical-cultural, comparative, and empirical-analytical research methods to identify Jagiellonianism and Sarmatism in the artistic scope of Ukraine and Poland in the 19th and 20th centuries. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that, for the first time in Polish and Ukrainian musicology, historical information on the Jagiellonian principle of religious-state regulation of the Slavic Commonwealth is summarised from the point of view of the Ukrainian positive in the rise of Ukrainian Orthodoxy and the supranational resonance of Petro Mohyla's reform. Conclusions. Jagiellonianism is the age of freedom of the Cossacks, who sanctified the Cossack age with high education and singing energy, which is the centre of high honour and pride of the Ukrainian nation, its thoughtfulness (in Old Ukrainian and Old Polish languages, duma means honour). For the Polish tradition, Jagiellonianism is the time when the capital was Krakow, and not Warsaw, which, due to its ethnic and cultural advantages, was and remains the custodian of the Old Catholic traditions, originating from the time of the undivided Christian Church and in the awareness of kinship with the East Slavic world. It was Jagiellonianism in Poland that contributed to the construction of the Zaporizhzhia Sich, which became an essential pillar of defence against the military expansion of the Crimean Khanate (since the 13th century) and Ottoman Turkey. Crimea is the last of the Greek colonies, the birthplace of Eastern Slavic Christianity, the place of activity of the "Orthodox brothers" expelled by the Anglo-Saxons from Catholicised Britain (XI century), transformed in the 13th-14th centuries. to the stronghold of Islam. Polish Sarmatism in the romantic era was influenced by the Cossacks, who en masse joined the chumaks who carried out commercial, military, and political operations, and, similar to the Polish-noble circles, considered offensive proposals to engage in agriculture, which did not correspond to the status of a foreman in the 17th century.
