The first part of this section gives the history of resettlement of the ancestors of today's Albanians living in Ukraine from the southeast of Albanian lands to northeastern Bulgaria, and then to the Russian Empire — first, to the steppes of Budjak and later on to the region of the Azov sea. The authors' aim is to summarize and consistently describe the available material on this issue found in the documents of the 19th century (statistics collected by P. Koppen, A. Klaus, A. Skalkowski, et al.), early works on “Arnaut resettlement” authored by K. Jireček, L. Miletich, V. Marinov, D. Yaranov, and archival data and studies published by N. Derzhavin, as well as researchers from Leningrad / Saint Petersburg (A. Desnitskaya, L. Sharapova, A. Zhugra) and Odessa (Andrey V. Shabashov). The second part of the section is devoted to historical myths within the Albanian community in Ukraine, i.e. legends, local stories and narratives about their own history that have been transmitted within the community until now. Here we become acquainted with the thoughts and beliefs of Albanians living in Ukraine about their historical homeland, resettlement from the Balkans to the Russian Empire, and the foundation of the village of Karakurt, which was followed by a new resettlement of part of the population eastwards and the foundation of the three new villages. The material for the analysis was recorded in the Albanian villages during our fieldwork trips in 1998–2013.
