Moskova'nın günümüzdeki Ukrayna söylemi, imparatorluk dönemi tarih anlatılarının kalıcı etkisini yansıtmakta ve Rusya'nın Ukrayna'ya ilişkin tarihsel hafızasının nasıl inşa edildiğinin incelemenmesini gerekli kılmaktadır. Kökenleri Mutlakiyet Çağı’na uzanan ve 19. yüzyılda Üçlü Rus Milleti ideolojisiyle resmi bir doktrin haline gelen bu tarihsel hafıza, Rusya’nın Ukrayna’ya dair algısını nesiller boyunca derinlemesine şekillendirmiştir. Bu çalışma, 1654 Pereyaslav Antlaşması’ndan 19. yüzyılın başlarına kadar uzanan süreçte, Rus devleti ile Kozak Hetmanlığı arasındaki ilişkilerin dönüşümüne odaklanarak imparatorluk anlatılarının evrimini analiz etmektedir. Çağdaş kaynaklara danayarak, imparatorluk tarihçilerinin Ukrayna tarihini, bölgenin merkeze entegrasyonunu meşrulaştırmak amacıyla nasıl yeniden yorumladıkları analiz edilmektedir. Bu çalışma, söz konusu tarihsel yeniden kurgulamanın “Tüm-Rus” ulusal kimliğinin inşasına ideolojik bir temel oluşturduğunu ve bu çerçevenin Rus devletinin Ukrayna’ya yönelik algısını modern döneme kadar şekillendirmeye devam ettiğini öne sürmektedir.

LITTLE RUSSIANS OF THE TSARS: THE MAKING OF UKRAINE IN RUSSIAN IMPERIAL THOUGHT AND RULE

Öz

Moscow’s contemporary discourse on Ukraine reflects the enduring legacy of imperial historical narratives, underscoring the importance of examining how Russian historical memory of Ukraine was initially constructed. Emerging during the Age of Absolutism and later codified in the nineteenth-century ideology of the Triune Russian Nation, this memory profoundly shaped Russia’s perception of Ukraine across successive generations. This article traces the evolution of these imperial narratives from the Pereiaslav Agreement of 1654 to the early nineteenth century, with particular emphasis on the shifting relationship between the Russian state and the Cossack Hetmanate. Drawing on contemporary sources, it examines how imperial historians reinterpreted Ukraine’s past to justify the incorporation of Ukrainian territories into the imperial framework. The article argues that this historical reframing laid the ideological foundation for the construction of an “All-Russian” national identity, which continued to influence the Russian state’s perception of Ukraine into the modern era.
