KOZAR LIDIIA

a Ph. D. in Philology, a senior research fellow at the Ukrainian and Foreign Folkloristics Department of M. Rylskyi Institute of Art Studies, Folkloristics and Ethnology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (Kyiv, Ukraine).

The songs of political life about the destruction of the Zaporizhzhian Sich from the collection of Borys Hrinchenko “Ethnographic Materials Collected in Chernihiv and Neighbouring Provinces” (vol. 3, Chernihiv, 1899) and modern songs about the war of 2022 are considered in the article for the first time. Their scientific weight is increased by the fact that they have come from a reliable source. Records are mainly made by Fedir Volk in Dobruja from the eye-witnesses of these events. These are the cossacks, creating the Danubian Sich in the Turkish possessions (1775–1828) after the Zaporizhzhian Sich has been abolished.

The article authoress is aimed at the analysis of historical songs revealing the attempts of Moscow rulers to turn Ukraine into a province of Russia. The attempts to destroy the Zaporizhzhian Sich are caused by its great social force in Ukraine. It has been considered as the center of freedom and independence. The modern songs’ parallels about the war of 2022 are given as well. Modern songs convey the mockery of Russians against Ukrainians during the occupation. Today Russia continues to destroy Ukrainians and Ukraine as two hundred years ago.

The source base of the research is formed with the new historical neologisms about the war of 2022, found on Internet sites – “Poems from the Trenches”, “Remember”, “Executed Spring (Bucha)”, “Native Bucha”, “Unborn”, “Somewhere in Bucha, under the Fence, right next to the House”, “In the Forest, Dark Forest”, “The Enemy”, “Our Father”. The founded and submitted songs about the war have presented the sufficient, detailed and emotional evidence about the tragedy of the occupation of Bucha and other settlements of Kyivshchyna. They have taken the main blows on themselves, and they have opposed the enemy’s attacks on Kyiv.

Keywords: political songs about the destruction of the Zaporizhzhian Sich, Borys Hrinchenko, modern historical neologisms, songs about the war of 2022.
