Implantation of Officials and Military Personnel

in the campaign “Pereiaslav Articles (1659)”

After forcing the signing of the treaty, Moscow moved to the direct occupation of the autonomy's living space. The articles codified the expansion of the military presence: "besides Kyiv, tsarist voivodes were introduced into Pereiaslav, Chernihiv, Nizhyn, Bratslav, and Uman"[1] – garrisons headed by voivodes ensured physical control over the territory from within.
