In this study the author rejects the beliefs deeply rooted in Polish historiography that the eminent writer of the Polish Renaissance, Stanisław Orzechowski, was of Ukrainian descent. Associating his roots with Ukraine results from Orzechowski’s defining himself as a Roxolani. Research based on sources indicates that he was not a descendant of the Orthodox family of Baraniecki, neither was his grandfather an Orthodox priest. The writer’s Ukrainianness ought to be perceived more generally as a sort of local patriotism of the gentry of Red Ruthenia.
