Hetman of Zaporizhian Cossacks
Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates
A Hetman of Zaporizhian Cossacks is a historical term that has multiple meanings.
Officially the post was known as Hetman of the Zaporizhian Host (Old Ukrainian: Гетман Войска Єго Королевскои Милости Запорозкого, Hetman of His Royal Grace's Zaporozhian Host;[1] Template:Langx).[2] Hetman of Zaporizhian Cossacks as a title was not officially recognized internationally until the creation of the Cossack Hetmanate. With the creation of Registered Cossacks units their leaders were officially referred to as Senior of His Royal Grace's Zaporozhian Host (Template:Langx, Starshyi Yoho Korolivskoi Mylosti Viiska Zaporozkoho; Template:Langx).[2][3] Before 1648 and the establishment of the Cossack Hetmanate there were numerous regional hetmans across the Dnieper-banks, who usually were starostas or voivodes.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
Background
Script error: No such module "Unsubst". The first widely recognized hetman of Zaporizhia was Dmytro Vyshnevetsky, after that several Polish starostas were added to the Hetman registry such as Lanckoroński and Daszkiewicz who also led their own Cossack formations. According to Mykhailo Hrushevsky they were not really considered as hetmans, at least by their contemporaries. Among others such starostas were Karpo Maslo from Cherkasy, Yatsko Bilous (Pereiaslav), Andrushko (Bratslav), and many others. Even Princes Konstanty Ostrogski and Bohdan Hlinski were conducting Cossack raids on Tatar uluses (districts).Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
The commanders of Zaporozhian Host units (the Kish) often considered as hetmans in fact carried a title of Kish Otaman. As from 1572,[4] hetman was the unofficial title of commanders of the Registered Cossack Army of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. From the 1648 Bohdan Khmelnytsky uprising, Hetman was the title of the head of the Cossack state, the Cossack Hetmanate. Cossack hetmans had very broad powers and acted as supreme military commanders and executive leaders (by issuing administrative decrees).Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
After the split of Ukrainian territory along the Dnieper River by the Polish-Russian Treaty of Andrusovo 1667, there was an introduction of dual leadership for each bank, or for each Ukraine of Dnieper (left and right). After the Treaty of Andrusovo there existed two different Cossack Hetmanates with two Hetmans: the one in Poland being called Nakazny Hetman of His Royal Mercy of Zaporizhian Host, and the Russian one titled Hetman of His Tsar's Mercy of Zaporizhian Host.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
Eventually the official state powers of Cossack Hetmans were gradually diminished in the 18th century, and finally abolished by Catherine II of Russia in 1764.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

Historians such as Mykola Arkas[8] question legitimacy of Pavlo Teteria's October 1662 election, alleging that it involved corruption.[9] Some sources claim Teteria's election took place a little later, in January 1663.[10] The election of Teteria led to the Povoloch Regiment Uprising in 1663, followed by larger number of disturbances in the modern region of Kirovohrad Oblast as well as Polesia (all in Right-bank Ukraine).[11] Moreover, the political crisis that followed the Pushkar–Barabash Uprising divided the Cossack Hetmanate completely along the banks of the Dnieper River.[11] Coincidentally, on 10 January 1663, the Tsardom of Muscovy created the new Little Russian Office (Prikaz) within its Ambassadorial Office.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
