Azov Campaigns and Fortress Construction (1695–1700)
The use of the autonomy as a free resource and labor base for Peter I's ambitions in the south. The population bore extremely heavy logistical obligations: "Provisions for the volunteer troops were supplied by the commoners, who also stocked hay for the winter for the army's artillery." In addition, Moscow established military control by deploying a network of bases near the Zaporizhian Sich: "The Zaporozhians... put forward the demolition of Kamianyi Zaton as a condition for any oath... Mazepa was furious"[1].
