Themes of the Cossack Prey on "Memoirs of the Odessa Society of History and Antiquities"

In the article we are talking about the information capabilities of the "Memoirs of the Odessa Society of History and Antiquities" (Zapysky Odes’koho tovarystva istoriyi ta starozhytnostey) on the issue of the study of Cossack prey. This periodical contains a lot of information about one of the most interesting and debatable types of Cossack mining – captivity. Also on the pages of the Notes are posted intelligence on the interaction of Cossacks with the impoverished peoples within the Black Sea and Azov Sea, which helps in the comprehensive study of mining as a phenomenon of military and domestic culture of the Ukrainian Cossacks. Interesting and useful in the consideration of this issue is a description of the trade routes of the Cossacks, landed by the Black Sea and the Azov Sea. Based on these descriptions, we can talk about the Cossack ways of the Cossacks and the location of city-markets for sale, exchange of captured prey, including captivity.
