Slavo-Serbia(1753-1764) and New Serbia(1752-1764) were military frontiers in Russian Empire on territory of modern day Ukraine.
These frontiers were created with similar purpose like Military frontier in Austria. They were populated with Serbian settlers from Vojvodina and Slavonia.
Serbs founded many towns in these regions and often named them after their previous towns. Capital city of Slavo-Serbia was Bakhmut.
Being surrounded with Orthodox Slavic speaking people it didn't take long for Serbs to assimilate and today there is no Serbs left. But we still can see remainings of Serbs mostly in toponyms like for example city of Slovianoserbsk.
