The Berladnici were a supposed medieval people living along the northeastern Black Sea coast. While their ethnicity is unclear, it included runaways from Rus' who left those lands due to feudal oppression. Peasants as well as boyars dissatisfied with the rulers purportedly settled in the vicinity of the city of Bârlad as well as the river of the same name in eastern Romania, as well as on the lower Don River.
==History== The Berladnici are first mentioned in the Kievan Chronicle (part of the Hypatian Codex). The text recounts the 1159 war between Prince Yaroslav of Galicia and his cousin Ivan Berladnic, during which the latter fled "to the steppe to the Polovtsi" (Cumans):
