The Governing Council of the Hetman Government and the Lubny Treaty (1734–1750)
A prolonged period of direct rule over the Left Bank without the election of a hetman, exercised through a mixed collegium chaired by a Russian resident[1]. At the same time, the empire formally regained control over Zaporizhzhia, imposing on the Cossacks a treaty obligating them to serve the interests of the Russian crown[2].
