In the news1616

Cossacks Capture Kaffa Slave Market

In 1616, Cossacks led by Petro Konashevych-Sahaidachny captured Kaffa, a major slave market in the region.

At the table

Salamakha: a dual-purpose Cossack field meal

Cossacks on military campaigns prepared a sour dish called salamakha, which served as both food and drink, made by mixing boiled millet with water-diluted flour.

What people wore

Special occasion versus daily wear

Ordinary people kept finer linen shirts in their chests for special occasions like church services, while everyday clothes were often made from coarser materials like plain woven linen or wool.

Getting around

Common methods of travel and transport

People traveled by foot, horseback, or in various horse-drawn wagons and carriages, such as the covered carts called 'kolybka' or 'palub'. Boats were used for water travel, though navigation on the Dnieper was restricted by rapids.

What it cost

Price of a loaf of bread

In the early 17th century, a loaf of fine-ground rye bread cost 1 Polish grosz.

Music

Popular musical instruments for festivals and dance

Cossacks and villagers played instruments like the kobza, violin, bagpipes (duda), and cimbaloms to accompany dancing and celebrations. These instruments were commonly used at weddings and festivals to entertain both rural and urban communities.

Daily life

Church brotherhoods and classical schooling

Church brotherhoods established primary schools across many towns, teaching languages including Greek, Latin, and Old Slavonic alongside subjects like mathematics and geometry.
