Collusion with a Third Party Behind the People's Back

in the campaign “Pylyp Orlyk's Campaign in Right-Bank Ukraine (1711)”

The collapse of the anti-Moscow coalition from within: on the Right Bank, the Tatar allies betrayed the Cossacks and turned to seizing the civilian population – "the Tatars, disobeying Orlyk, scattered in raiding parties and began taking yasyr captives across Ukrainian villages"[1]. Orlyk himself wrote to the Swedish king: "What atrocities unheard of under the moon did the wild Tatars then commit!"[1].
