Bratslav Regiment (Ukrainian: Брацлавський полк) was an administrative division of the Cossack Hetmanate which existed between 1648 and 1712. It was located in southern Podolia. The regiment's administrative capital was Bratslav.[2]
History
Creation of the regiment was officially recognized by the Treaty of Zboriv in 1649.[3] In 1654 Cossacks of Bratslav Regiment refused to pledge allegiance to tsar Alexis of Russia following the Treaty of Pereyaslav.[4] During 1674-1675 most of the regiment's population fled due to fighting between the Polish troops of Jan Sobieski and Ottoman armies allied with Right-bank hetman Petro Doroshenko.[5]
In 1675 the regiment's Cossacks recognized Polish appointee Ostap Hohol as acting hetman.[6] In 1685 the Sejm confirmed the rights and privileges of local Cossacks, which led to the revival of Bratslav Regiment.[7] The regiment was liquidated following the Treaty of the Pruth, and its territory was reincorporated into the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.[8]
