OSTAFIY DASZKOVYCH`S FAMILY


Abstract. The article is devoted to the study and organization of all information concerning the family status of the famous military and political figure of the early sixteenth century Ostafy Dashkovich. He is best known for his work as mayor of Cherkasy and Kaniv in 1514-1535. Since this figure is largely mythologized, the same applies to her family status. Comparative, logical and structural-system methods were used to clarify this issue. A study of historiography has revealed that there is currently no generalized study on this topic. Many publications contain factual errors and incorrect conclusions. The reason for this was the lack of use of some historical sources. In particular, researchers practically ignored such documents as the Monuments of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra and St. Michael’s Golden-Domed Monastery. A comparative analysis of these and other documents allows us to express our opinion about the local origin of the Dashkovych family and their connections with the local elite. Issues related to the reflection in the sources of information about the father, mother, sister and nieces of Ostafy Dashkovich are considered in detail. It is believed that the authority of the elder became the basis for the creation of the authority of Prince Ostafy Ruzhynsky. There is also a version of the possibility of the existence of Ostafy Dashkovich at an earlier time. The reason for this is the material related to the Church of the Resurrection, the founder of which is traditionally considered to be Mr. Ostafy. The conclusions deny the possibility of the Tatar origin of the family of Ostafy Dashkovich and its kinship with the Belarusian noble families. Emphasis is placed on family relations primarily with noble families of Kyiv region.

Key words: Ostafiy Dashkovych, Monument, Kyiv, Kyiv region, Kyivo-Pecherska Lavra, Grand Duchy of Lithuania, genealogy.
