Aidar River, city of Starobilsk, Glinskys and Belskys. A philosophical essay on geographical and historical associations.
The city of Starobilsk is located on the Aidar River.
The name of this city gives reason to remember the princes of Belsky and the fate of those territories of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania that adjoined the borders of the Moscow state.
Due to (religious) disagreements, the transition of the princes of Belsky began for serve. First to Ivan the Third, and then to Ivan the Fourth.
They did a transition in a very noticeable way.
They took with them their specific lands.
Thus, the territory of the Muscovite state increased, and the territory of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania tended to decrease.
The Belskys faithfully served the Muscovite state and Ivan the Fourth (in addition to the "transfer" of their own specific lands).
However, circumstances were not in their favor.
In the Muscovite state - even before the transition of the Belskys - there appeared their own influential people who did not consider the Belskys worthy contenders for influence.
The Livonian War, in which (not without military success) some Belskys participated, ended in the defeat of Russia from the opposing European coalition.
Partially, Belskys were eliminated physically - in the course of political trials.
Like Glinskys, Belskys left the political arena.
Ivan the Fourth did not treat Belskys badly, but both the tsar and his goodwill were not eternal.
Meanwhile, Russia's eastward movement and its accumulation of military and political power continued.
In 1795, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania was liquidated during the partition of the Commonwealth. Before the actual defeat in 1877-1878, in 1904-1905, in 1914-1918, many years remained.
By this time (1795), neither Glinskys nor Belskys played any significant political role.
There are two types of settlements associated with Belskys: those that belonged to them at the time of the "transition", and those that were founded by the Belskys during the period of activity for the benefit of Russia.
[The settlement "Belsky town" was first mentioned in writing in 1686 and in 1708 became part of the Azov province. There is a version of local historians that the "uncle" of Tsarevich Dimitri Bogdan Belsky, sent by the governor to the Russian border with the Wild Field, in addition to Tsare-Borisov [town], named after Tsar Boris Godunov, founded (in 1600) the town, which he called by his own surname - Belsky. Such action caused discontent of the Tsar, and the governor fell into disgrace. Then the Time of Troubles came, and both cities were deserted. Geographically, Staraya Belaya was part of the Ostrogozhsky Cossack regiment. In 1797, the Staraya Belaya settlement became the county town of Starobilsk, Starobelsky district, Sloboda-Ukrainian province of the Russian Empire (since 1835, Kharkov province). ]
If you look from a distant historical distance, then the Belskys brought their specific lands and the results of their state activities to the Moscow state.
In general, Russia probably received more benefit from the Belskys than harm (at the beginning of the Livonian War, none of the historians blames Belskys).
Thus, after Aidar, after Starobilsk, there is a reason to remember Belskys.
[Starobelskaya street is in the cities: St. Petersburg, Chernivtsi, Donetsk, Gorlovka, Volgograd, Lisichansk, Kramatorsk and Svatovo. In the cities of Rostov-on-Don, Stakhanov and Kharkov there is Starobelsky Lane.]
It is not known whether any of the Belskys have survived to this day - in order to cast a glance at the fate of their former specific lands. So we have the opportunity to make an attempt and look at these lands and their history instead of Belskys.
