Searching for sensual delights: Frenchmen’s adventures in the Taurida in the Late-Eighteenth century
After its unification with Russia in 1783, the Crimea became a travellers’ attraction; many of these voyagers were Frenchmen, not always as their nationality, but always in terms of their language and culture. Understanding the peninsula as a part of the Orient, known mostly from books, the travellers considered that there was the “other” ethics and morals, so the most incredible erotic adventures were possible. The exploits of many travellers we…
Tauris as a Toponym
This article addresses the use of the toponym Tauris (French Tauride, Russian Таврида) in the sources from the Classical, Byzantine, and Modern Periods. Today’s mind inseparably associates the Tauris with the Crimea. It is generally accepted that it was the name of the peninsula from the age of the Hellenes. However, in Antiquity Tauris was the name of a different geographic object, i. e. an island in the Adriatic Sea, located at the shore of Dal…

Fighting a “Monstrous and Inhuman Race”: The 16th–18th Century Western Writers on the Wars of the Crimean Khanate
The paper discusses the image of the Crimean Khanate’s army, its traditional tactics, doings in campaigns, and the attitude to the prisoners of war in the works of the Western authors from the Early Modern Period. Although the Crimean Khanate’s warfare has been studied by the scholarship, its imagological aspect remains obscure. The given research has revealed various sides of the otherness to become stereotypes in “European” texts. The writers i…
Searching for Christian Antiquities: Rethinking the Mediaeval Monuments of the Crimea in the Modern Period
This article examines the interpretations of some architectural and archaeological heritage sites in the Crimea that appeared from the seventeenth to nineteenth century. It was the period when the travellers who described the Crimean Peninsula concluded that the most outstanding Friday mosques initially were the churches that experienced Muslim reconstruction. The travellers with their speculative ideas about architecture thought that the Muslims…
The Wars in the Ottoman Frontiers in the Early Seventeenth Century through the Eyes of John Smith, Adventurer, Mercenary, and Romancer
This paper discusses the image of war on the east of Europe as created by the memoirs of English John Smuth, who later became one of the most prominent persons in North American colonization. In 1600—1602, Smith joined the Holy Roman imperial army waging war with the Ottomans, Crimean Tatars, and Wallachians in the Balkans, then was taken captive and spent a few months as a slave to the north of the Azov Sea. The True Travels, Adventures, and Obs…

Blessed Idlers” or “Indolent Loafers”: The Stereotype of Crimean Tatar Laziness in Russian and Foreign Mind in the Late of the 18th and 19th Centuries
This paper discusses the origin and evolution of the stereotype of “laziness” of the Crimean Tatars, which appeared in Russian and foreign travel writings from the late-eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It has been shown that this stereotype was a product of Western “armchair” knowledge of the Enlightenment, which produced the ideas of “terrestrial paradise” in faraway countries where lived the “noble savages”. Applying it to what was seen in …

On the Legend of Eshil-Dzhami Mosque in Bakhchisarai

According to the legend, soon after the unification of the Crimea with Russia soldiers or Cossacks killed mullah of this mosque, thus making it desecrated, and the shrine was desolated. Since no testimony for the authenticity of this story sur…
The Legend of Gycia, Stanislas Sestrencewicz-Bohusz, and Catherine II

The Crimean Goths in the Russian Imperial and Soviet Periods: In Between of History, Myth, and Politics
This paper addresses scholarly and ideological interpretations of Crimean Goths from the late eighteenth century to the collapse of the Soviet Union. At the first stage, intellectual travellers and armchair researchers discovered the basic set of written sources, using archaeology often as illustrations and producing many long-living phantoms. From the mid-nineteenth century on, archaeological and historical researches made a big step towards und…
Some Observations on Coin Finds in Crimean Cemeteries from the Late Roman Period
In the Crimean Peninsula there were flat inhumation cemeteries traditionally related to the Iranians (Sarmatians and Alans) that survived the mid-third century AD invasion of Germanic tribes. The latter created a few cremation sites and sometimes joined the Iranians to make the cemeteries featuring both rituals. No related settlement has been found so far. A small but important group among the finds comprised coins, mostly minted in the Roman Emp…
The image of Crimea among British travelers Edward Clarke and Reginald Heber at the turn of the 18th-19th centuries
