Cossack Starshina of the Left-Bank Ukraine and the Image of the Poles («Liachs») in Their Perception (Records of the 1670s)
Abstract
Based on the cases of the Little Russian Prikaz of the 70s of the 17th century, containing information about the participation of representatives of the Left-Bank hetmanate in peace negotiations between Russia and the Polish-Lithuanian state, the article analyzes the statements of the Left-Bank starshina about the “Poles”. They are characterized as a force with which it is impossible to have any cooperation because of their desire to oppress and destroy the “Malorossian people”. Over time, this attitude intensified, which is probably due to the ongoing changes in the position of the Cossack elite in the society of the Left-Bank Hetmanate. It was in the 70s of the 17th century, after the sharp unrest of the late 60s on the Left Bank, its position quickly strengthened, it turned into a dominant social stratum, which was threatened by the claims of the authorities of the Commonwealth to Ukrainian lands.

Abstract

The circumstances surrounding the composition of the petition are examined.The paper undertakes an analysis of the Old Czech and Middle High German versions of the petition that was sent to Sigismund of Luxemburg from Bohemia in 1419. The circumstances surrounding the composition of the petition are examined. The author has arrived to the conclusion that the petition has been written on the initiative of the land consuls of Bohemia who represented the Bohemian nobility. The goal of the petition was to protect the public order in the kingdom with the help of Sigismund’s influence who has been proclaimed as the «new king». As local authorities the land consuls aimed to prevent religious clashes between the Utraquists and those who sticked to the traditional Catholic rite of Communion. For this purpose they threatened to expel from the country those Catholics who called Utraquism a heresy, as well as those Utraquists who «have sworn an oath against those who call them Wyckleffits and Hussites». The Prague communities joined the land consuls in composing the petition first after the revolt of Prague against the Queen Dowager Sophie had been suppressed by the league of Catholic and Utraquist nobles. However, not every request added by the Prague Hussites has been included in the final German version received by Sigismund.
