Migration of Serbs to Russia 1751—1753 in Historiography: Myth and Reality

When in 1741 Maria Theresa agreed to abolish the part of the Military Frontier then inhabited exclusively by Serbs, she did not know that they would thereby show a desire to break away from the Habsburg monarchy. Since the border along the Tisza and Moriš rivers was finally abolished in 1751, there was a large movement of Serbs, mostly to Banat, then partly to Srem, and partly to Russia. The topic of the emigration of Serbs to Russia has so far been discussed in both Russian and Serbian literature, often uncritically portrayed in Serbian society, and occupies a special place in Serbian literature. The aim of this article is to show how this topic has been presented in Serbian scholarship, what was a myth and what was a historical reality, and how new conclusions have been drawn that shed light on real historical processes.
