Jovan Horvat
Jovan Samilovich-Horvat (Kurtic, near
Imperial Russia
in 1751.
Biography
The name "Horvat" is presumed to come from a village --
St. Petersburg to assign lands sufficient to sustain four regiments of 4,000 men apiece, with their respective families, servants, and associated artisans, priests, and traders -- all on the model of the long-established Austrian Grenz infantry regiments. The request was granted to establish an autonomous military colony in the Zaporozhian steppe lands between the Bug and Dnieper
. It was mostly located in the territory of present-day Kirovohrad Oblast of Ukraine, although some of its parts were located in the territory of present-day Cherkasy Oblast, Poltava Oblast and Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. The administrative centre of New Serbia was Novomirgorod (literally "New Mirgorod"), which is now Novomyrhorod, Ukraine.
In 1751, Jovan Samilovich-Horvat first arrived with more than 200 Serbs in what is today's
pandour
infantry and a hussar regiment. The two regiments were combined into a corps headquartered in Novomyrhorod. There Horvat received the rank of Major General in the Russian army.
These Serbian settlements were called St. Elizabeth.
In 1754, Horvat established the St. Elizabeth Fortress in New Serbia which a year later, became known as Yelysavethrad, the region's administrative centre. Horvat continued recuiting Slavs from the
peculation and other abuses in the administration of settlements, found guilty, deprived of his rank, and exiled to Vologda
. In 1776 he was pardoned and allowed to return to his estate, where he lived with his wife Magdalena Ivanova and children until he died in 1780.
Background
New Serbia was an administrative unit established by the Imperial Russian government on
Inhulets rivers in the north to the Velyka Vysa and Omel'nik rivers in the south. In 1752, this region was named New Serbia. Most of New Serbia's population consisted of Slavs from both the Right-bank Ukraine and Left-bank Ukraine. In March 1764 the military settlements in New Serbia and Slavo-Serbia were incorporated into Novorossiya
.
