TheBuzhans[a]were a tribal union ofEarly Slavs,which supposedly formed theEast Slavsin southern Russia and the Volga region.[1]They are mentioned asBuzhanein thePrimary Chronicle.Several localities in Russia are claimed to be connected to the Buzhans, such as Sredniy Buzhan inOrenburg Oblast,[2]and Buzhan and theBuzan RiverinAstrakhan Oblast.
Some theories say that the name of the tribes could be connected toWestern Bug,in Ukraine, where they chose to settle down. According to theBavarian Geographer,the Buzhans had 230 "cities" (fortresses). Some historians believe that the Buzhans and theVolhyniansused to be called theDulebes.[3]
There are even theories connecting the name of the river, region and country of Bosnia to the Buzhans. These theories are mostly promoted by theBavarian Geographer,Joachim LelewelandMuhamed Hadžijahić.[4]
