Abstract

Moldavians, or Volokhi, as they were named here at the end of 18th c. - beginning of the 19th c. is one of the most numerous ethnic groups in South- East Podil’ia. On the northern territory of the present-day Odessa and Transdniestria regions within the limits of the present-day Kam’ansk and Rybniza districts of Moldova, which were a part of the Balta povit (district), Moldavians lived both in separate monoethnic and in mixed Ukraino-Moldavian or Moldavo-Ukrainian settlements. In the early 18th c. they settled down with impetuosity on this territory together with Ukrainians. The khutors founders’ names and microtoponyms of Moldavian origin are considerable evidence of their common activities3. The Moldavian Diaspora became an important factor of economic development of this territory.
