'''Dmytro Hunia''' ({{Langx|uk|Дмитро Гуня}}; {{Langx|pl|Dymitr Hunia}}) was elected [[hetman]] of the [[Zaporozhian Host]] in 1638.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Hunia, Dmytro |url=https://www.encyclopediaofukraine.com/display.asp?linkpath=pages%5CH%5CU%5CHuniaDmytro.htm |access-date=2024-08-13 |website=www.encyclopediaofukraine.com}}</ref> He was one of the leaders of the [[Ostryanyn Uprising]], a 1638 [[Cossack]] uprising against the [[Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth]]. The rebellion was sparked by the [[Sejm]] act of the same year that declared that non-[[Registered Cossacks]] are equal to ordinary peasants in their rights (and should be subjected to [[serfdom]]). The uprising was quelled by the forces of [[Jeremi Wiśniowiecki]] and [[Mikołaj Potocki]]. After a series of skirmishes the Cossacks capitulated at the [[Starzec]] river. Hunia and some other cossacks managed to flee to [[Tsardom of Russia|Russia]].
