THE IVAN HORVAT'S ADMINISTRATIVE POWER IN THE NEW SERBIA (1752 – 1762)


The article highlights issues of the Ivan Horvat's leadership over the administrative-territorial formation of the New Serbia. We analyze in this paper the juridical and factual aspects of his personal power as a commander of the Hussar Regiment and New Serbian Military Corps, from the beginning of Horvat's activity in the New Serbia until his dismissal from control of the territory. Attention is paid to the general's agreements with the main commander of the settlement, commandants of the Saint Elizabeth Fortress and the Kyiv governor-general. We follow the process of the gradual extension of Horvat's authority and subordination to him the New Sloboda Cossack Regiment, as well as the establishment of the Chancery of New Serbian Corps. In this context, we also consider the reaching by the military ranks from colonel to lieutenant-general taking turns by Horvat. Furthermore, there are examined issues relating to the recruiting of newcomers from abroad and relocation them to New Serbia. Based on processing of the archival documents as well as published sources and historiography, we have attempted to separate the administrative aspect of the direct Horvat's governance in the province from a total array of the the New Serbia issues, and disclose this issue taking into consideration the factors that affected the concentration of authority in the hands of general.

Keywords: Ivan Horvat, New Serbia, general, powers, Novomyrhorod, Saint Elizabeth Fortress.
