Gammalsvenskby
Verbivka (Standard Swedish: ''Gammalsvenskby'', local Swedish dialect: Gammölsvänskbi; literally: "Old Swedish Village"; Ukrainian Старошведське, ''Staroshveds'ke''; German ''Alt-Schwedendorf'') is now part of the village of Zmiivka (Ukrainian: Зміївка, Russian: Змеевка) in Beryslav Raion of Kherson Oblast, Ukraine which has a Swedish cultural heritage. Zmiyivka also includes three former villages settled by ethnic Germans. These were the two Lutheran villages of Schlangendorf and Mühlhausendorf and the Roman Catholic village of Klosterdorf. In the nineteenth century, the whole region, and large parts of southern Russia contained villages settled by Germans belonging to various Protestant faiths, particularly Lutherans and Mennonites, as well as Roman Catholics. Askania-Nova biosphere reserve is nearby.
==The founding of Gammalsvenskby==
The population of Gammalsvenskby traces its origins to Hiiumaa (Dagö) in present-day Estonia, once a part of the Realm of Sweden. Under the Russians, in the time of Catherine II of Russia, the Swedish-speaking population left the island in August 1781 destined for new lives in the newly conquered territories known as New Russia, in present-day Ukraine. Enticed there by promises being granted fertile new land, they trekked overland to southern Ukraine, as colonists for new territories Russia had won from the Ottoman Empire. While some sources call the Estonian Swedes' migration an outright expulsion from their Baltic homeland, other accounts stress the fact that these poor and oppressed serf farmers were made what to them must have seemed a generous offer for that era. Regardless of the impetus, the outcome of this mass migration was, however, disastrous. Many of the nearly 1,000 villagers died on the march to their new home. On arrival, they found no trace of the houses they had expected to find. Moreover, in their first year in Ukraine, an even larger portion of the settlers died. According to the records of the Swedish congregation, of the original thousand or so who had set out for Ukraine 18 months earlier, only 135 people remained alive by March 1783, a terrible near-decimation of their numbers.
