Історія козацько-старшинської родини XVIII ст. крізь документи: тестаменти Марковичів
History of the prosperous class of Cossacks of the 18th century through documents – testa- ments of the Markovych family

Summary/Abstract: The article explores the history of the Markovych family, a prosperous class of Cossacks, well-known in the Cossack Hetmanate, based on an analysis of specific historical documents such as testaments. Numerous studies have been devoted to the Markovych family in Russian, Soviet, and Ukrainian historiography. The main reason for the above is the interest in the life of Anastasiia Markivna, a representative of the Markovych family and Hetman Ivan Skoropadskyi’s wife, who played an important role in the history of the Cossack Hetmanate. Anastasiia Markivna actively contributed to the careers of all her relatives. Her brothers, sisters’ husbands and nephews occupied high positions in the Cossack hierarchy, and therefore influenced the course of events in both individual regiments and the entire Cos- sack Hetmanate. Insights into the Markovych family through an analysis of their testaments and other historical documents have shed new light on this prosperous upper-class family. Records of births and deaths of members of this relatively large and influential family, and the details of their relations described in testaments provide valuable information about their everyday life.
