Стаття присвячена дослідженню української та польської історіографічної традиції (до середини ХХ ст.) щодо земельної політики Вишневецьких на Задніпров’ї. Серед основних питань — оцінка колонізаційної діяльності представників роду на Лівобережжі в українській і польській історіографії. Також предметом аналізу є дослідження істориків щодо господарської діяльності Яреми Вишневецького у задніпровських маєтностях.

The article is devoted to the study of Ukrainian and Polish historiography (until the middle of 20th century) concerning the land policy of Vyshnevetsky family in Zadniprovia. In the article it has been ascertain what aspects of Vyshnevetsky’s economic activities were elucidated and how land and colonizing policy realized by the family representatives was judged in Polish and Ukrainian historiography. The settlement process of Zadniprovia by Vyshnevetsky and their management of this region began to call the interest of
researchers from the middle of 19th century. Despite a rather careful analysis of this issue in the literature, it was revealed quite different views on the role of Vyshnevetsky as representatives of the aristocracy the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth in the colonization of Ukrainian lands. Ukrainian researchers disagreed with the opinion of Polish opponents about the civilizational influence of the magnates and the nobility of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth on the development of the economy. In the historical literature there
is no single point of view concerning to the fact what population settled Vyshnevetsky’s lands in the Leftbank Ukraine. Compared to the assets of Vyshnevetsky in the Rightbank Ukraine, their holdings on the left bank of the Dniper were studied more thoroughly by historians; in particular, there are several published scientific papers devoted to the activities of representatives of the family in the development and settlement of Zadniprovia. Information about Vyshnevetky’s colonizing activities in the Left-bank Ukraine is presented in many sources, but researches dedicated to Zadniprovia settling by the family
members contain mainly identical data and often duplicate one another.
