Actors

ID Name Description
G0008 Tsardom of Muscovy

The logical culmination of the absorption process was the official partition of Ukrainian lands between the two neighboring states. The treaty was signed exclusively by representatives of Moscow and Warsaw: "On the Muscovite side the negotiations were conducted by... A. L. Ordin-Nashchokin... on the Polish side, by Commissar Jerzy Hlebowicz" [1]. The opinion of the autonomy itself was completely ignored: "The interests of the hetmans and of Ukraine were, of course, not taken into account" [3]. "For the Cossacks this is yet another blow — the decision about their fate is made behind their backs"[4].

Techniques Used

ID Name Use
T0030 Administrative-Territorial Division

The legal codification of the territory's division. Moscow deliberately fragmented a once unified country, turning such important regions as Zaporizhzhia into rightless buffer zones under joint administration: "...Zaporizhzhia (which under the treaty of 1667 was under the joint rule of Moscow and Warsaw)"[2].

T0039 Collusion with a Third Party

The logical culmination of the absorption process was the official partition of Ukrainian lands between the two neighboring states. The treaty was signed exclusively by representatives of Moscow and Warsaw: "On the Muscovite side the negotiations were conducted by... A. L. Ordin-Nashchokin... on the Polish side, by Commissar Jerzy Hlebowicz" [1]. The opinion of the autonomy itself was completely ignored: "The interests of the hetmans and of Ukraine were, of course, not taken into account" [3]. "For the Cossacks this is yet another blow — the decision about their fate is made behind their backs"[4].

T0008 Deprivation of Agency

In the legal partition of Ukrainian lands, the opinion of the people themselves or of their leaders was demonstratively ignored. The Hetmanate was treated exclusively as an object: "The interests of the hetmans and of Ukraine were, of course, not taken into account"[3].

T0056 Taxation

Having gained political power over the Left Bank, Moscow immediately attempted to seize the right to collect taxes in order to extract resources directly: "the attempts of Russian voivodes... to introduce their own taxation system in Ukraine led only to revolts (for example... the attempted census of 1666...)"[2].
