Creation of the Little Russian Prikaz (1663)

Institutional substitution: the transfer of the administration of Ukrainian lands from the Ambassadorial Prikaz, which handled international affairs, to a specially created domestic prikaz in Moscow. This amounted to a legal and administrative downgrading of the Hetmanate's status from a subject of international relations to an internal colonial province[1].
