Эпизод из истории Украины – An Episode from the History of Ukraine
Мне бы хотелось рассказать об одном из эпизодов истории Украины. Во время войны за независимость украинского народа в 1648-1654 годах военачальники поняли, что без военной помощи России окончательная победа над Польшей невозможна. Поэтому в 1648 году Богдан Хмельницкий обратился к России с просьбой принять Украину в ее состав. Царское правительство начало оказывать военную и экономическую помощь Украине. В1654 году Хмельницкий прибыл в Переяслав, где встретился с русским посольством во главе с боярином Бутурлиным. На городской площади Переяслава

I’d like to tell you about one of the episodes from the history of Ukraine. During the war of independence of the Ukrainians in 1648-1654 the leaders of the war realized, that without the military help of Russia the complete victory over Poland is impossible. That’s why in 1648 Bohdan Khmelnytsky appealed to Russia with the request to admit Ukraine as a part of Russia. The tsar’s government started to give some military and economic help to Ukraine. In 1654 Khmelnytsky came to Pereyaslav, where he met Russian embassy headed by boyarin Buturlin. General Rada was convoked in the city square. All layers of the population participated in it. Khmelnytsky in his speech at Rada explained the necessity of the union of Ukraine and Russia. All participants of Rada vowed fidelity to Russia. Buturlin handed to Khmelnytsky the tsar’s order about the consent to admit Ukraine. Political and judicial status of Ukraine was determined by the terms of the treaty – so called March articles. Khmelnytsky vowed fidelity in the cathedral. The. population vowed in their towns and villages. Economical, political and cultural relationships promoted the union. This union weakened the political role of Rech Pospolitaya, and defeated the plans of Vatican to catholicize Ukraine. It assisted the further development of Ukrainian people.
