Summary: The Forest-Steppe Ukraine is the largest region of our country in terms of size and population. For a long time, it was the center of the formation of the Ukrainian ethnic group, and later the nation. On the map of 1648 by the French engineer Guillaume Lavasseur de Beauplan, it is called Ukraine. Later, as a politonym, this name was extended to the entire territory of the modern Ukrainian state, and the region itself remained nameless. At the end of the 19th century, there was an attempt to transfer to the Right-Bank the then official name of the lands of the former Hetmanship and Slobozhanshchyna – Malorossiya, but it lasted only a few decades, until the start of the Ukrainian revolution in the spring 1917. A few years ago, the author of these lines proposed to extend to more recent times the practice, long known among archaeologists, and to call the former Ukraine of Beauplan the Forest-Steppe Ukraine. In the 19th century, it included six large Ukrainian provinces: Kyiv, Podillia, and Volyn on the Right-Bank, and Poltava, Chernihiv, and Kharkiv east of the Dnieper. Favorable natural landscape and mild climate, significant population contributed to ancient traditions of agriculture, cattle breeding, crafts, and trade. At the beginning of the 1860s, here on the territory of 282,230 square versts 10,437,800 people lived. In quantitative terms, the peasantry prevailed, almost completely enslaved on the RightBank and represented mainly by Cossacks and state peasants on the Left-Bank. The focus of the author`s attention is the problem of the ratio of growth rates of agriculture, animal husbandry and the population of the Ukrainian Forest Steppe region in the pre-reform period, marked, according to the state of the sources, by the years 1846-1863. On the basis of the method of using mass statistical sources developed by the author, it is concluded that in the pre-reform period, the agrarian sector of the Forest-Steppe Ukraine`s economy was in a state of transition from stagnation to crisis, since the growth of the main indicators did not correspond to the growth rate of the population.
