Published: February 2019

The Cerrado region still receives relatively little ornithological attention, although it is regarded as the only tropical savanna in the world considered to be a biodiversity hotspot. Cerradão is one of the least known and most deforested Cerrado physiognomies and few recent bird surveys have been conducted in these forests. In order to rescue bird records and complement the few existing inventories of this under-studied forest type in the state of São Paulo, we looked for published papers on birds of cerradão. Additionally we surveyed birds at a 314-ha cerradão remnant located in central São Paulo, Brazil, from September 2005-December 2006 using unlimited distance transect counts. Out of 95 investigations involving cerradão bird studies, only 17 (18%) investigations teased apart bird species recorded inside cerradão from those recorded in other physiognomies of Cerrado. Except for one study, no research found more than 64 species in this type of forest, a result shared within many regions from Brazil and Bolivia. Differences in species richness do not seem be related with levels of disturbance of landscape or fragment size. Considering all species recorded in cerradão in Brazil and Bolivia, a compilation of data accumulated 250 species in 36 families and 15 orders. In recent surveys at central São Paulo, we recorded 48 species in 20 families, including the Pale-bellied Tyrant-Manakin Neopelma pallescens, threatened in São Paulo, and the Helmeted Manakin Antilophia galeata, near threatened in the state and endemic to the Cerrado region. Among the most abundant species inside this fragment, none was considered to be neither threatened nor endemic.
On the role of assumptions in cladistic biogeographical analyses
Authors: Santos Charles Morphy Dias dos
Published: February 2019

The biogeographical Assumptions 0, 1, and 2 (respectively A0, A1 and A2) are theoretical terms used to interpret and resolve incongruence in order to find general areagrams. The aim of this paper is to suggest the use of A2 instead of A0 and A1 in solving uncertainties during cladistic biogeographical analyses. In a theoretical example, using Component Analysis and Primary Brooks Parsimony Analysis (primary BPA), A2 allows for the reconstruction of the true sequence of disjunction events within a hypothetical scenario, while A0 adds spurious area relationships. A0, A1 and A2 are interpretations of the relationships between areas, not between taxa. Since area relationships are not equivalent to cladistic relationships, it is inappropriate to use the distributional information of taxa to resolve ambiguous patterns in areagrams, as A0 does. Although ambiguity in areagrams is virtually impossible to explain, A2 is better and more neutral than any other biogeographical assumption.
The type specimens of "dorylomorph" ants (Hymenoptera, Formicidae: Aenictinae, Ecitoninae, Cerapachyinae, Leptanilloidinae) deposited in the Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil

Published: February 2019

The present catalogue lists the "dorylomorph" ant types (Aenictinae: Aenictus; Cerapachyinae: Acanthostichus and Cerapachys; Ecitoninae: Eciton, Labidus, Neivamyrmex and Nomamyrmex; and Leptanilloidinae: Asphinctanilloides and Leptanilloides) housed in the Formicidae collection of the Hymenoptera laboratory, Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo (MZSP), Brazil. In total, the collection includes types of 141 nominal species, of which 56 are still valid. The majority of types of dorylomorph species in the MZSP collection are syntypes (67 species), but there are as well 13 species represented by holotypes only, 17 by holotypes and paratypes, 43 species by paratypes only, and one species by a paralectotype. We record the label information, condition of the specimens, nomenclatural changes, type status, and provide indexes of the listed taxa.

Revision of neotropical genea rondani (Diptera, Tachinidae, Tachininae, Leskiini)
Authors: Nunez Enio , Couri Márcia S.
Published: February 2019

The Neotropical species of Genea Rondani, 1850 (Diptera, Tachinidae, Tachininae, Leskiini) are revised by the examination of type-material of almost all species and a large material deposited in many scientific collections. G. australis (Townsend), G. brasiliensis (Townsend), G. gracilis James, G. jaynesi (Aldrich), G. major (Townsend), G. pellucens (Curran), G. tenuirostris (James), G. trifaria (Wiedemann) were keyed and redescribed with the first descriptions of male terminalia. G. longipalpis (Wulp) was not included in this study as no material was examined and the available data are restricted to the original description. G. glossata (Townsend) is proposed as a junior synonym of G. trifaria. G. paulistana sp. nov. from São Paulo is proposed as a new species.
New genera for two poorly-known millipeds from Bahia (Polydesmida: Chelodesmidae)
Authors: Hoffman Richard L.
Published: February 2019

Two chelodesmid millipeds described by Brölemann (1903) from the interior of Bahia have not been reported for over 100 years despite their large size and bright coloration. Originally described as Leptodesmus gounellei and Leptodesmus carminatus, neither species is referable to Leptodesmus as currently defined nor any other established genus. Both have been studied from the type specimens, and are here designated the type species of two new genera, Plectrogonodesmus for gounellei and Baianassa for carminatus. Diagnostic characters are illustrated for both taxa. Intergeneric relationships are at present not evident, and are not suggested pending better understanding of the chelodesmid fauna of eastern Brazil.
Structure of Drosophilidae Assemblage (Insecta, Diptera) in Pampa Biome (São Luiz Gonzaga, RS)
Authors: Poppe Jean Lucas , Valente Vera Lúcia da Silva , Schmitz Hermes José
Published: February 2019

The Brazilian Pampa (the southernmost end of the country) is currently a highly modified environment because of increasing agricultural activities. In many places, only small parts of grasslands remain inside an agricultural landscape. Drosophilidae (Diptera) have been widely used as a potential bioindicators to monitor the effects of anthropogenic changes in natural environments. However, the fauna of Drosophilidae in the Pampa Biome from natural and disturbed environments, still remains largely unknown. The present study represents one of the first attempts to fill this gap, showing results from monthly collections in the municipality of São Luiz Gonzaga (28º24'28"S, 54º57'39"W), in the Brazilian Pampa. A species inventory was carried out in two contrasting environments, an urban zone and a forest remnant (rural zone). In both areas banana-baited traps were used to capture adult drosophilids. The identification was made using external morphology and male terminalia. In total, 13,379 drosophilids were analyzed (rural zone: N = 8,812 and Sobs = 25; urban zone: N = 4,567 and Sobs = 16). In the present study, 16 (60%) out of 26 species were found exclusively or preferentially in the forest. The period of highest richness was between the months of June to November (roughly winter and spring), and the period of lowest richness was from December to May (roughly summer and autumn). An analysis of cluster by the Coefficient of Jaccard showed that species composition slightly changes when the period of the year with higher temperatures (from January to May) is compared with the period with lower temperatures (from June to October). The species abundances were also highly affected by seasonality, as revealed by the Morisita Index, since the samples clustered into similar groups in consecutive periods and in the same season, showing the seasonal preference of some species. The time component was a determinant in the diversity of the assemblage, surpassing the spatial effect. The strong reduction in diversity in the urban area when compared to a small forest patch is evidence of the importance of the natural environments in maintaining the diversity in the Pampa biome, currently a highly disturbed landscape.
Contribution towards the knowledge of Rhinotragini (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae). V. Reconsideration of Rhopalessa rubroscutellaris (Tippmann, 1960)

Published: February 2019

Corrections to the revision of Rhopalessa Bates, 1873 (Clarke et al. 2011), with the transfer of two species to a new genus, Rashelapso: R. durantoni (Peñaherrera-Leiva & Tavakilian, 2004) comb. nov., and R. schmidi sp. nov. (previously considered to be conspecific with Ommata (Rhopalessa) rubroscutellaris Tippmann, 1960 by the authors). Ommata (Rhopalessa) rubroscutellaris is now considered a junior synonym of Laedorcari fulvicollis (Lacordaire, 1868).
Assessing population size of the Chestnut-Capped Foliage-Gleaner
Authors: Faria Luciene , Carrara Lucas A. , Garcia Frederico I. , Rodrigues Marcos
Published: February 2019

Chestnut-Capped Foliage-Gleaner (Hylocryptus rectirostris) is a Neotropical ovenbird species (Furnariidae) endemic to gallery forests of the Cerrado region of central Brazil. While it is not considered globally threatened, the degree of habitat loss occurring throughout much of its known distribution may warrant its inclusion on red lists beyond just the state of Sao Paulo. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the conservation status of Chestnut-Capped Foliage-Gleaner according to those criteria adopted by the IUCN. Results of censuses conducted in the Serra do Cipó National Park were used to estimate the entire population size of the Chestnut-Capped Foliage-Gleaner and refine our understanding of its actual geographic distribution. Census results indicate that the species has a population density of 3.8 pairs/100 ha and occupies only a quarter of its preferred habitat in the study area, which is well below the carrying capacity. The total population size estimate, accounting for its entire extent of known occurrence, is just over 54,000 pairs. The geographic distribution and total population size estimated in this study do not indicate that the Chestnut-Capped Foliage-Gleaner should be considered a threatened species according to IUCN criteria. However, it was not possible to evaluate this species’ conservation status based on information concerning population fluctuations over time, another of the IUCN criteria. Nonetheless, the rate of habitat destruction in the Cerrado during the last century has certainly resulted in a population decline of greater than 10%, a factor sufficient enough to warrant its inclusion in the IUCN category of vulnerable.
A new dwarf species, new distribution records, and supplementary descriptive notes of the centipede genus Ityphilus Cook, 1899 (Chilopoda: Geophilomorpha: Ballophilidae) from central Amazonia, Brazil
Authors: Pereira Luis Alberto
Published: February 2019

A new dwarf species of the centipede genus Ityphilus Cook, 1899, named I. donatellae sp. nov. (Chilopoda: Geophilomorpha: Ballophilidae) is hereby proposed on the basis of specimens from the vicinity of Manaus, Central Amazonia (Brazil), previously identified as Ityphilus calinus Chamberlin, 1957 (hereby designated holotype female, paratype male and paratype female). Supplementary morphological data and new illustrations are provided after this type material. The new species, characterized by having the internal edge of the forcipular tarsungulum serrate, is herein included in a key that will enable the identification of the 10 other Neotropical members of the genus Ityphilus sharing the same trait. New distribution records and supplementary descriptive notes for Ityphilus crabilli Pereira, Minelli & Barbieri, 1994, and Ityphilus demoraisi Pereira, Minelli & Barbieri, 1995 (including the first description of the male of the latter), are also given. Undiluted 2-Phenoxyethanol (CAS No. 122-99-6) has been used as an effective clearing agent/mounting medium for the preparation of temporary mounts of all body parts of the examined specimens.
Morphological analysis of Mecosarthron Buquet and Xixuthrus Thomson and Reevaluation of Generic Assignment of Xixuthrus domingoensis Fisher (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Prioninae)
Authors: Santos-Silva Antonio , Lingafelter Steven W.
Published: February 2019

The characters defining Mecosarthron Buquet, 1840 and Xixuthrus Thomson 1864 are discussed, along with a historical review of the literature that described and classified these taxa. Through morphological examination of these genera and most of the included species, we addressed the systematic placement of Xixuthrus domingoensis Fisher, 1932 that was placed in Mecosarthron by Ivie (1985). We restore its placement in the genus Xixuthrus. The first description of the female of X. domingoensis is provided, along with comparative redescriptions of Mecosarthron gounellei (Lameere, 1903), and M. buphagus Buquet, 1840. We include a key to the species currently in Mecosarthron.
A new species of Leporinus Agassiz, 1829 from the upper Rio Paraná basin (Characiformes, Anostomidae) with redescription of L. elongatus Valenciennes, 1850 and L. obtusidens (Valenciennes, 1837)
Authors: Britski Heraldo A. , Birindelli José Luís O. , Garavello Julio Cesar
Published: February 2019

Leporinus obtusidens Valenciennes, 1837 and L. elongatus Valenciennes, 1850 are redescribed based on the type specimens, including those of their junior synonyms, and recently collected specimens. Leporinus obtusidens is considered to be widespread, occuring in the river drainages of La Plata, São Francisco, and Parnaíba. Leporinus aguapeiensis Campos, 1945, described from the upper Rio Paraná, and L. silvestrii Boulenger, 1902, described from the Rio Paraguay, are considered junior synonyms of L. obtusidens. Leporinus elongatus is endemic to the Rio Jequitinhonha and Rio Pardo, two eastern Brazilian river basins, and the locality cited for the lectotype, Rio São Fransico, likely to be erroneous. Leporinus crassilabris Borodin, 1929, and L. crassilabris breviceps Borodin, 1929, both described from the Rio Jequitinhonha, are considered junior synynoms of L. elongatus. A new species of Leporinus, endemic to the upper Rio Paraná, very similar and sometimes mistaken with L. obtusidens, is formally described. In addition, comments on Leporinus pachyurus Valenciennes, 1850 and on L. bimaculatus Castelnau, 1855 are provided, and a lectotype for L. bimaculatus is selected.
Normal Bone Mineral Density Measurements in Pubertal Males and Females: A Cross-Sectional DXA Study Abstract
Authors: COŞAR AYAZ Sevin
Published: February 2019

Objective: Our main goal was to
present normal BMD measurements in
pubertal males and females in order to make contribution to the the database of normative BMD values in our country. Methods:
In this study 30 pubertal subjects (14 males, 16 females) with Tanner stage
II-V having normal
BMD values were enrolled. The mean ages of the male and female groups were 13.6±1.4 and
13.7±1.6 years, respectively (P>0.05). The BMD
measurements of lumbar spine (L1-4) and femoral neck were done by dual x-ray
absorptiometry (DXA). Lumbar and femoral BMD measurements of male and female
subjects were compared. Lumbar and femoral neck BMD values were correlated with
the age, weight, height and body mass index of the subjects within each gender
groups.Results: There
was no significant difference between mean ages, mean weight, mean height and
mean BMI of male and females (P>0.05). The mean lumbar BMD value was statistically higher in pubertal females
compared to males (P<0.05). 
There was significant correlation between the mean age and the mean lumbar
BMD measurements in female group (P<0.05). There was significant correlation
between the mean weight and the mean BMD measurements (lomber and femoral BMD)
in male group (P<0.05).

Conclusion:
In conclusion, DXA is a useful, fast and accurate diagnostic tool for
performing BMD measurements of lumbar spine (L1-4) and femoral neck in pubertal
males and females.
Encuesta BIARE 2012: Análisis del bienestar subjetivo de los mexicanos y modelamiento estructural
Authors: Velasco Arellanes Francisco Justiniano , Vera Noriega José Ángel , Tirado Medina Hugo
Published: February 2019

Objetivo: El bienestar de una sociedad es un constructo considerado como multidimensional (componentes objetivos y subjetivos). La encuesta nacional de Bienestar Autorreportado (BIARE) se diseñó para evaluar el bienestar de la población mexicana. No obstante, no se ha explorado la estructura y relación que tienen los módulos (sub-escalas) para explicar el bienestar de los mexicanos. Así, el objetivo del estudio es explorar la estructura y relación que tienen los módulos en la encuesta BIARE, 2012 (Instituto Nacional deEstadística y Geografía [INEGI], 2012) mediante modelamiento estructural.
Método: Se realizó análisis de datos secundarios de la base BIARE, la cual es aleatoria y representativa a nivel nacional. Participaron 10.654 ciudadanos con un rango de edad entre 18 y 70 años; 5.967 eran mujeres y 4.687 hombres.
Resultados: Se encontraron tres modelos. En un primer modelo se concibió la variable latente Bienestar general asociada con variables empíricas Solvencia, Felicidad, Satisfacción y Autodeterminación. En un segundo modelo se proponen dos variables latentes: 1) Bienestar percibido, asociada a tres variables empíricas; a) Satisfacción con la vida, b) Autodeterminación y c) Felicidad; 2) Socio-cultura, relacionada también con tres variables empíricas: a) Altruismo, b) Cultivado y c) Relaciones virtuales. Un tercer modelode trayectorias para variables latentes mostró ajustes satisfactorios que explican relaciones entre la variable Felicidad con Solvencia, Satisfacción y Autodeterminación, consecutivamente.
Conclusiones: La información que se puede obtener del cuestionario BIARE es relevante para evaluar la percepción de los ciudadanos y el entorno inmediato, como la familia. Pero no permite una evaluación precisa sobre la contribución de los factores meso y macro-sociales en el bienestar de los mexicanos. Es necesario que BIARE integre un modelo multidimensional de bienestar.

Immigrant Children and the Internet in Spain: Uses, Opportunities, and Risks
Authors: Casado Miguel Angel , Garitaonandia Carmelo , Moreno Gorka , Jimenez Estefania
Published: February 2019

This article describes the use made of the Internet by immigrant children living in Spain and the opportunities and risks it involves. Specifically, it deals with children from the Maghreb, Ecuador, and Sub-Saharan Africa, three regions which account for a quarter of Spain’s foreign-born population. A qualitative methodology was used, based on in-depth interviews with 52 children from these countries and educators from their support centres. Immigrant minors usually access the Internet via their smartphones rather than via computers. They have a very high rate of smartphone use and access the Internet over public Wi-Fi networks. However, they make little use of computers and tablets, the devices most closely associated with education and accessing information. Internet usage is fairly similar among immigrant and Spanish teens, although the former receive more support and mediation from their schools and institutions than from their parents. The Internet helps them to communicate with their families in their countries of origin. As one educator puts it, “they have gone from sending photos in letters to speaking to their families every day on Skype”. Some teens, particularly Maghrebis, sometimes suffer from hate messages on social networks.
Risk and Culture of Health Portrayal in a U.S. Cross-Cultural TV Adaptation, a Pilot Study
Authors: Perez Ryan Darien , Jamieson Patrick E.
Published: February 2019

Because media portrayal can influence adolescents’ health, we assessed the health-related content of a popular telenovela—a Spanish-language TV soap opera genre—and its widely watched English adaptation. To test our “culture of corruption” hypothesis, which predicts that the English-language adaptation of telenovelas will “Americanize” their content by increasing risky and reducing healthy portrayal on screen, we coded the depictions of five risk variables and five culture of health ones in ten episodes each of “Juana la Virgen” (2002) and its popular English-language counterpart, “Jane the Virgin” (2014). A significant increase was found between the Spanish and English-language shows in the risk category of sexual content and a marginally significant increase was found in violence. “Jane” also had larger numbers of characters modeling alcohol consumption, sex, or violence. Across culture of health variables, “Juana” and “Jane” did not exhibit significant differences in the amounts of education-related content, social cohesion, and exercise at the episode level. However, “Jane” had significantly more unhealthy food content (specifically, fats, oils, and sweets and takeout food) and more pro-health messaging than did “Juana.” “Jane” also had a larger amount of modeled food/beverage consumption. While “Juana” modeled several instances of characters involved in exercise, “Jane” had no exercise content across the sample. Overall, “Jane” portrayed more problematic health content than “Juana.” The increase in worrisome content in “Jane” may adversely affect the health of adolescent Hispanics, who make up a large part of the show’s audience.
Immigrant, Nationalist and Proud: A Twitter Analysis of Indian Diaspora Supporters for Brexit and Trump
Authors: Leidig Eviane Cheng
Published: February 2019

The Brexit referendum to leave the EU and Trump’s success in the US general election in 2016 sparked new waves of discussion on nativism, nationalism, and the far right. Within these analyses, however, very little attention has been devoted towards exploring the transnational ideological circulation of Islamophobia and anti-establishment sentiment, especially amongst diaspora and migrant networks. This article thus explores the role of the Indian diaspora as mediators in populist radical right discourse in the West. During the Brexit referendum and Trump’s election and presidency, a number of Indian diaspora voices took to Twitter to express pro-Brexit and pro-Trump views. This article presents a year-long qualitative study of these users. It highlights how these diasporic Indians interact and engage on Twitter in order to signal belonging on multiple levels: as individuals, as an imaginary collective non-Muslim diaspora, and as members of (populist radical right) Twitter society. By analysing these users’ social media performativity, we obtain insight into how social media spaces may help construct ethnic and (trans)national identities according to boundaries of inclusion/exclusion. This article demonstrates how some Indian diaspora individuals are embedded into exclusivist national political agendas of the populist radical right in Western societies.

Published: February 2019

This editorial delivers an introduction to the Media and Communication thematic issue on “Communicating on/with Minorities” around the world. This thematic issue presents a multidisciplinary look at the field of communicating on and with different members of minority groups who, based on gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or a background in migration, experience relative disadvantage and marginalization compared to the dominant social group. The contributors to this thematic issue present a variety of professional contexts (i.e., portrayals in journalistic content, in fiction and non-fiction audiovisual content, on social media platforms and in health care). Taken together, the contributions examine various theoretical angles, thereby adopting new research directions through the use of quantitative, qualitative or mixed methodologies.
FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR CONSTRUCTION OF SOUTH-UKRAINIAN AND NORTH-CRIMEAN CANALS (1950 – 1953)
Authors: Satskyi P.
Published: February 2019

This paper is looking at the financial support for the construction of Southern-Ukrainian and Northern-Crimean Channels. It gained the status of "communism construction" and started in 1951 on the basis of the resolution of the Council of Ministers of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union from the 20th of September in 1950. The research of the financial support for the building of channels was made in the context of the analysis of the command-administrative system of the USSR of the late Stalinist period. In particular, there was also the analysis of the reasons for underfunding of the building and also the role of the Council of Ministers of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in the supply of the process of building of Southern-Ukrainian and Northern-Crimean Channels considering the difficulties with the financial support. Thus, a particular attention has been paid to the fact that the financing of the building of Southern-Ukrainian and Northern-Crimean Channels was done together with the building of The Kakhovka Hydroelectric Station. However, in the beginning of construction works the financial resources, which were supposed to be spent on the building of channels, in majority were spent on the building of The Kakhovka Hydroelectric Station. In the author's opinion, it was related to the fact that during the initial stage of channel building the first constructions build were the buildings for the employees as well as social and transport infrastructure buildings surrounding the channel constructions. Thus, the exploration of the Southern areas of Ukraine and Northern areas of the Crimea has started the backgrounds for the active inhabitance of these regions has started, which was the main target of the constructions works. The research of the financial support of the building was done on the basis of the backgrounds of the budget system and the budget politics of USSR. We can conclude that the building of the Southern-Ukrainian and the Northern-Crimean Channels attracted the incoming investments for the construction sites built on the territory of the Crimea. This fact had a particular impact for the social-economic development in terms of ineffective economical system of USSR in the late Stalinist period. Moreover, this was a start of the Crimea's integration in the Ukrainian social-economical system.
THE NEOPAGANISM IN UKRAINE: SPIRITUAL QUEST OF A CITY DWELLAR
Authors: Smorzhevska O.
Published: February 2019

The papers deals with the Neopaganism as a spiritual quest of city dwellars in Ukraine in the late 20th – the early 21st century. We focused on differences in perception of the Neopaganism in 1990s and assessing its prospects during his appearance and some distribution in Ukraine and, since the 2000s to nowadays, especially with the popularization of the "virtual world" and accessibility of information. Singled out the main trends of this process: on the one hand, increasing the number of Self-pagans, especially among those who joined the movement in the early 21st century; and concern by the "big" Neopaganism such aspirations to self-pagan way of separation from the community or association. Remarkably, it is Ukrainian city dwellars who is turning to pre-Christian past as the current outlook at the end of the 20th – the early 21st century. According to adherents of the Neopaganism, "we should go back to move forward", so to say for the further progress we should return to pre-Christians practices. Without a strong material and financial base, human resources, information influence, based mainly on the romantic enthusiasm of his followers from late 1980s – early 1990s, the modern paganism took its niche among different religions in Ukraine, acquiring various forms and manifestations, which sometimes go far beyond a pure religion.

In this paper we are looking at the problem of Ukrainian's forced resettling from Czechoslovakia to Western Ukraine during the first after-war years. We bring under question sufficiency of research on this topic in the Ukrainian historiography. Based on primary sources we analyze and characterize the Soviet forced resettling of different nations in late 1940s. We also reveal the main drivers for such an immigration policy of the Totalitarian State in Ukraine, its course, peculiarities and tragic consequences for the people. The total quantity of Ukrainian and Czech migrants was found out. We described everyday life, social and economic conditions, psychological perception of migrants from Czechoslovakia to Western Ukraine based on their appeals to Soviet authorities to bring them back to Czech and Slovakia. It was only during the so-called Khrushchev's "The Thaw" ("Ottepel") at the beginning of 1960s that the part of forced migrant was ought to return to their homeland. In addition, it was important to us to outline several trends for the further research.
REFLECTION OF UKRAINIAN PEASANT INSURRECTIONARY MOVEMENT
OF 1917 – 1921 IN UKRAINIAN PRE-SOVIET LITERATURE
Dedicated to the centennial of the Ukrainian revolution of 1917 – 1921

In this paper we intend to analyze the image of the peasant insurrectionary movement (1917 – 1921) in Ukrainian pre-Soviet literature. The achievements of pre-Soviet authors, in particular, in the studies of the peasant insurrectionary movement of the stated period, have been defined. Factual materials concerning insurgent peasantry have been found and the research assessment aspects have been generalized. As we have found out only few Ukrainian works from the pre-Soviet literature described the peasant insurrectionary movement of 1917 – 1921. Among the first works were those of M. Hrushevskyj, I. Krypyakevych, Ye. Chykalenko. Special attention to the life of peasantry and its protest movement was paid by the outstanding historian M. Hrushevskyj. He explored this subject in the context of the Ukrainian revolution studies. His works are an important source for the peasant insurrectionary movement studies. At the same time we have stated the absence of works directly covering insurrected peasantry as an integrated force within the Ukrainian revolution. On the other hand, as the historiographic analysis has shown, these first works could be regarded as proto-historiography of the peasant insurrectionary movement as they were produced during the initial stage of the Ukrainian revolution of 1917 – 1921.
Keywords: peasant insurrectionary movement of 1917 – 1921, peasantry, revolution, research, Ukrainian pre-Soviet literature, historiography.

We analyze the reasons of exaggerating the importance of the victory of Russian troops in Kaniv in 1662.
