Yampil. The route "Balkans - Severskaya Land, the Don region". An essay on geographical and historical associations.
It turns out that in Severskaya Land there is a settlement called Yampil.
At first, I don't feel any interest in this title.
A hole, pit [yama яма] was dug in the field [pole поле]. And it so happened that there was istablished a settlement with the name Yampil. Nothing complicated.
However, out of curiosity, I look at the map.
It turns out that there are several settlements with the name "Yampil", and all of them are located along a kind of arc. In the number of the points of this "arc" we include Yambol in Bulgaria.
In this state of affairs, it is clearly wrong to assume that the name comes from a hole dug in a field.
Explanatory dictionary by Vladimir Dahl: "Ямщик, ямской приказ" "Coachman, the Yam Prikaz [kind of the ancient Russian ministry]"
The Dictionary by P.Ya. Chernykh: "Yam is a camp [point] on a high road where a change of horses takes place", "yam [transportation] duty [obligation]" - "that was called from the middle of the 13th century. the duty established by the Tatars, obliging the taxed population to participate in the organization and practice of "gonba" - the transportation of people and goods".
E.M. Pospelov (as an option) proposes to perceive "field", "pole поле" - as a "locality", as a "settlement".
With this interpretation, "Yampil" is a settlement where a camp [point] for changing horses is located.
Behind this name ("Yampil") - there was (possibly) a relatively complex organizational system that ensured the transportation of people and goods. The system is a thing of the past, but the settlements on which it "relied" continued to exist.
Interesting is the geographical dislocation of settlements with the name "Yampil".
Coachmen may have been prominent figures (in a predominantly peasant environment). They left some trace in folk art.
But the yam [transportation] duty [obligation] itself did not evoke a good feelings among the common people (like any other duty). In Central, Northern and Southern (?) Russia, I did not find settlements with the name "Yampil". (Yamsk is located near Magadan).
When, due to some historical features, the attitude of the local population to the "traditional" transportation of people and goods turned out to be more favorable, this was reflected as the existence of several settlements with the name "Yampil".
Perhaps the traditions and rules of transportation were different - more acceptable (or familiar) to the local population.
Perhaps the transportation system itself was different from the one that existed in Central, Northern and Southern (?) Russia.
[Yampil is located in the Belogorsky district of the Khmelnitsky region of Ukraine. (...) The city arose in the 10th century under the name Tykhoml. In 1241 it was destroyed by the Mongols. In 1535 this place was bought by the feudal lord Janusz Viennski and he built the city of Januszpol there. Later the name was transformed into Yampil.] [unofficial translation]
[Yampil is the only one of the five settlements of the same name that existed in the 19th century on the territory of Ukraine, which was mentioned in the Brockhaus-Efron encyclopedia. (...) The ... name was suggested by the nature of the gentle waters of the river Rusava (Rosva, Rusva), in those days full-flowing and rich in fish. By winter, the fish "rolled down" from the distant, shallow upper reaches and wintered under the ice in two large, deep pools (pits). One of the pits was located at a place located above the current "Bilyansky" bridge near the "Volokhovy Mlyn", and the other approximately at the site of the modern city pond. These two fish pools gave the name of the Yama (hole pit яма)...] [unofficial translation]
With a certain level of imagination, geographical points with the name "Yampil" allow you to build a hypothetical route along which people and goods were transported in ancient times (in the Middle Ages?). This hypothetical route "connects" the South-West (the Balkans) with the North-East (with the areas of the Seversk cities and the Don region [Pridonye] ).
One way or another, but the geographical points with the name "Yampil" are in a certain way "grouped" on the geographical map.
