An Episode from the History of Ukraine

I'd like to tell you about one of the episodes from the history of Ukraine. During the war of independence of the Ukrainians in 1648-54 the leaders of the war realized, that without the military help of Russia the complete victory over Poland was impossible. That's why in 1648 B.              Khmelnitsky appealed to Russia with the request to admit Ukraine as a part of Russia.             

The tsar's government started to give some military and economic help to Ukraine. In 1654

B. Khmelnitsky came to Pereyaslav, where he met Russian embassy headed by boyarin V. Buturlin. General Rada was convoked on the city's square. All layers of the population participated in it. Khmelnitsky in his speech on Rada explained the necessity of the union of Ukraine and Russia. All participants of Rada vowed fidelity to Russia.              Buturlin handed to B.              Khmelnitsky the tsar's order about the consent to admit Ukraine. He also handed to Khmelnitsky the signs of getman's power: military banner, getman's bulava and hat.

Political and judicial status of Ukraine was determined by the terms of the treaty – so called March articles. B.Khmelnitsky vowed fidelity in the cathedral. The population vowed in their towns and villages.

 Economical, political and cultural relationships promoted the union. This union weakened the political role of Rech Pospolitaya, the plan of Batican to catolize Ukraine. It assisted the further development of Ukrainian nation.
