In the framework of early historical studies in Ukraine, the 'Black Sea' and the 'Pontic Steppes' are traditionally regarded
as complex entities bearing not only geographical and environmental, but also cultural, ethnic, and historical
implications. Such was their widely-held status up to the beginning of the twentieth century, and today, this perspective
is gradually regaining popularity in Ukrainian historiography based upon its importance for understanding ethnic, social,
and economic processes over the entire territory of contemporary Ukraine, and especially so if one examines the two
entities as opposing forces.
In such a context, the Black Sea usually is regarded as a 'stable unit' contributing to (1) permanent settlement since the
time of the Greek colonization, (2) intensive development of trade and a market economy leading to the growth of social
inequality, and (3) the establishment of regular links with remote territories that promoted interethnic contacts. In
general, the geographic and environmental conditions of the Black Sea coast can be regarded as favoring the formation
of the Ukrainian nation. The social and ethnic history of the Pontic Steppes is deeply connected with the non-Slavonic
nomad population of the Eurasian Steppes, the impact of which upon the formation of the Ukrainian ethnos can hardly
be understood as positive: as is well-known from archaeology and written sources, their belligerent behavior toward the
sedentary population of the Black Sea coast (in fact, the southern edge of the Ukrainian steppe zone) imposed severe
restrictions on local economic development and, as a result, on the evolution of political and social processes.The
present contribution will examine these traditional ideas of Ukrainian historiography in order to elaborate upon a
balanced approach to understanding of role of the opposition between the Black Sea and the Pontic Steppes in early
Ukrainian history.
