Principality of Porossk (Torchesk)

The region of Kievan Rus' between the rivers Stugna and Ros was called the porosity. The first settlers of Porosya were Slavs - glades and dulebs. The rich pastures of Porosya attracted the attention of the nomadic Pechenegs, and they began to push the Slavs to the north. To protect Russia from the nomads, the Kiev princes began to build fortresses in the Porosye and place garrisons in them. The main city of Poros was built in the second half of the XI century Torchesk. It stood on the land allotted to the Tork nomads who entered into the union of the “black hoods” friendly to the Russian princes. A principality table was established in Torchesk and a Russian garrison was set up. The city is rarely mentioned in the annals (for the first time - in 1093), so the list of torus princes looks sketchy. After the battle with the Polovtsians in 1234, the mention of Torchesk completely ceased. Probably, the city was destroyed a few years later by the Mongol Tatars. Modern researchers localize Torchesk near Belaya Tserkovwhere an ancient settlement was found between the villages of Olshanitsa and Sharkey.
