Rajko Depreradović
Rajko Depreradović ( 1710 – after 1764; also spelled Rajko Preradović) was a leader of colonists who settled free lands in what is now known as Donbas that were offered for settlement in 1752 to Serbs, Vlachs and other Balkan people of the Christian Orthodox faith to ensure frontier protection and development of the steppes. The settlement was then called Slavo-Serbia and it was directly governed by Russia's Governing Senate and College of War. The settlers eventually formed the Bakhmut hussar regiment in 1764. Also in 1764, Slavo-Serbia was transformed into the Donets uyezd of Yekaterinoslav Governorate (now in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, Ukraine). The Slavo-Serbia commanders were colonels Rajko Preradović and Jovan Šević, who led their soldiers in various Russian military campaigns; in peacetime, they kept the borderlands, along with the Cossacks, free from incursions by other states. Biography Rajko Preradović's ancestors first settled in an area around Grubišno Polje, som ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Slavo-Serbia
Slavo-Serbia or Slaveno-Serbia was a territory of Imperial Russia from 1753 to 1764. It was located to the south of the Donets River, between the Bakhmutka River and Luhan River. This area today is located within present-day Luhansk Oblast and Donetsk Oblast of Ukraine. The administrative centre of Slavo-Serbia was Bakhmut. It was bounded on the north by Slobozhanshchyna, on the west by the Cossack Hetmanate (a.k.a. the Zaporizhian Host), the Crimean Khanate to the south, and the Don Cossack Host to the southeast. Background As far back as 1723, Serb military colonists had been settling to a limited extent in the area that is now modern Ukraine. These Serbs came largely from the Military Frontier of the Habsburg Empire, where they enjoyed autonomy from the state. The abolishment of sectors of the frontier, and thus the loss of their autonomy, has been cited as a major reason for emigration to the Russian Empire.

New Serbia (Russian Province)
New Serbia or Novoserbia was a military frontier of Russian Empire, Imperial Russia from 1752 to 1764 subordinated directly to the Governing Senate and College of War, Military Collegium. It was situated in the territory of Novorossiya, New Russia. In 1764, the territory became part of the Novorossiya Governorate, New Russia Governorate. The founder of New Serbia was Jovan Horvat. Horvat was a leader of a group which rejected a post-riot compromise reached after the demilitarization of their section of the Military Frontier. The rejected compromise envisaged transfer of those who want to remain warriors to the Banat Military Frontier while those who would remain in the region would get provincial status with preservation of religious autonomy. Contrary to serfs, Eastern Orthodox Serbs enjoyed substantial levels of autonomy (in exchange for providing forces to fight against the Ottoman Empire) granted in multiple documents starting with Statuta Valachorum, but which was gradually ob ...
