The analysis of personal names was made on the basis of the General Description of Left-bank Ukraine or Rumyantsev Register, conducted in 1766. The masters of 19 professions lived at that days in the city. Surnames of Ukrainian burghers were only fixed in the second half of the 18th century. All names of persons in Rumiantsev Register from Pereyaslav were two-lettered.According to the lexical-semantic basis, the surnames caт be divided into six groups:- surnames by occupation type (25,6 %);- anroponymic surnames by Christian name (24 %);- surnames on individual signs of a person (21,8%);- surnames formed on the basis of different household names (12,8%);- surnames formed on the basis of animals, fish, insects (8,5%);- surnames by toponyms or ethnonyms (4,5%).The first group was dominating. The surnames of craftsmen more depended on the profession, than surnames of other urban residents. In addition to cases where the first principle is interpreted unambiguously, the explanation of some surnames origin can only be hypothetical. In most cases, they directly pointed out the artistic occupation of the carrier or represented the professional appellatives fixed in the second generation. A group of masters, who bared a professional surname, but not of their specialty, was outlined. Most of them were butchers and tailors, and the least among this group were fullers and bonders. The surname, which at first glance is directly related to the production activity, could be fixed to the owner for other reasons. For example, a person did not produce goods, but traded in them.The names of all the Pereyaslav craftsmen were based on the Christian calendar name. The most common name is Ivan (12.7%). The prevalence of the names Kuzma and Demyan, who, by some ethnographers, could be holy patrons of shoemaker’s guild, was also considered. In 1766 foreigners were not registered among the Pereyaslav craftsmen.

All these innovations were part of the «military revolution» in Europe. Its features in this had the important place in Eastern European states among them and the Cossack Hetmanate.The theatre of military operations on which the main enemy for a long time were the Tatars had led to the fact that most fortifications were wood-earthen.However, the development of firearms gradually forced to abandon brick and wooden fortifications of the frontal type. They were supplemented with elements of Western European fortification (bastions and ravelins), which increased the firepower of the fortress and its defensive capacity.At the same time, the Hetmanate did not have sufficient resources for largescale reconstructions of fortresses and the maintenance of permanent garrisons in them. The combination of these factors led to the fact that in the XVIII century fortification building in the Cossack Hetmanate passed into the hands of Russia and began to be used in the interests of the Empire.","PeriodicalId":287528,"journal":{"name":"City History, Culture, Society","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127778868","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the face of scarce written sources little is known about many 13th century cities, the space they occupied and the development within the city walls. To date, the issues have also been neglected by archaeologists, narrowed down to works accompanying renovations or construction investments. Archaeological research, carried out selectively and randomly, does not contribute to a better understanding of the specific 13thcentury cities. Some of the smaller cities are very poorly researched which also precludes any conclusions on urban space. Therefore, the issue of chronological and spatial relations between gords and cities has not been thoroughly surveyed and it may remain so for a long time. As part of the considerations, selected examples of gords and towns have been presented from the specific historical countries (Geater Poland, Kuyavia, the Gdansk Pomerania,Masovia, Central Poland, Lesser Poland and Silesia) to illustrate the issues in question. At the same time, attempts have been made to refer these examples to models or spatial relations including towns and older settlement as presented by Marian Rębkowski. These considerations lead to a conclusion that the gords and towns in the 13th century often operated next to each other, fulfilling different functions, at the same time complementing each other. In the future, this issue necessitates further detailed research into specific areas like fragmented principalities or the settlement-related activities on the part of the specific princes.","PeriodicalId":287528,"journal":{"name":"City History, Culture, Society","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123137500","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The types of the housing of two main groups of students (who were educated and maintained by the state and from charitable givings and students who studied at their own expense) are analyzed in the article. \u0000A lot of attention was paid to the living conditions of students who were educated from state budget money. The location of the houses and estates in which they lived was defined in the article. It also was found that the living conditions of students who were educated and maintained by the state had a proper level of housing and were generally comfortable for them to live. At the same time, these types of dormitories for poor students were specially designed as a form of control with strict regulation of their everyday life. The habitats of students who were educated and maintained by the state were comfortable for students living and had a proper level of living conditions in general. At the same time, these habitats served as a form of control over university students. The habitats of students who studied at their own expense were significantly different in terms of living conditions. They usually rented accommodation from Kyiv burghers. Typically students rented one room for a few of them because it was cheaper. \u0000The poorest students of the university lived in uninhabited rooms (basements, attics). Often, poor living conditions caused a negative impact on students' health and learning progress. Students usually settled near university buildings and formed a compact quarter, mostly inhabited by university students. At the initial stage of the university existence (1834-1842), the students' dwellings were mainly located at Lypky and Pechersk, near the university's leased buildings. During the next period (1842-1863), students mostly settled not far from the main building of the university (red building) or near other buildings of the university, for example, near the anatomical theatre or the military hospital. \u0000The features of living conditions of students (heating, lighting, water supply, sanitary and hygienic conditions) are also described in the publication. These factors were very important in shaping student everyday life and influenced the creation of a special students’ lifestyle.","PeriodicalId":287528,"journal":{"name":"City History, Culture, Society","volume":"245 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131560101","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
