National character of Hatman governance as the main reason of fall of the Hetmanate

Abstract

The article describes the peculiarities of governance in the Hetmanate after its split on the Left Bank and the Right Bank, as well as the formation of administrative mechanisms in Sloboda Ukraine, – the author focuses on illuminating the policies of Hetman governments at the end of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and on the analysis of the royal protectorate in the Left Bank Hetmanate and Slobozhanshchyna, as well as on the right-bank anti-Polish power competitions (before the abolition of the Cossack system). Much of this material is devoted to the study of the figures of the hetman's statesmen as bearers of the national idea, defenders of national autonomy and the unity of the Ukrainian lands, as well as the analysis of the project of the Hetmanate parliamentary monarchy set forth in the Constitution of Pylyp Orlyk. The main idea of the study is to highlight national traits in the rule of Hetmanate – one of the most important historical pages of state-building in Ukrainian territory. The unsuccessful attempt to create the Grand Duchy of Ruska – an aristocratic state in which the highest power will belong to deputies from the land, and the government will concentrate in the hands of the Hetman – caused a whole series of destructive processes that lasted until the middle of the next, XVIII century, and ended, eventually, the elimination of all types of autonomy, called autonomy of the Hetmanate. Russian-Ukrainian, Russian-Polish, Russian-Ottoman Conflict; left bank rebellions and devastation of the Right Bank, power splits between supporters of the monarchy and defenders of democracy, foreign inter- vention in the management of Ukrainian lands, contradictions between the governments of the Hetmanate and the Zaporozhian Sich, all this created the preconditions for the use by some historians of the name “ruin” in characterizing not only the end of the seventeenth century, but also throughout the period of existence of the Hetmanate’s then institute.
