Pereiaslav Regiment (Ukrainian: Переяславський полк) was an administrative division of the Cossack Hetmanate which existed between 1625 and 1782.
History
The regiment was created on the base of a starostvo according to the 1625 Treaty of Kurukove, becoming the first Cossack regiment in Left-bank Ukraine.[2][3] Its formation was confirmed by the 1649 Treaty of Zboriv.[4] In 1654 the regiment, commanded by Pavlo Teteria, was present at the solemn confirmation ceremony of the Treaty of Pereiaslav, pledging an oath of allegiance to tsar Alexis of Russia.[5] In 1660 the regiment supported acting hetman Yakym Somko, who proclaimed his allegiance to the tsar in Pereiaslav.[6] In 1666 the regiment's colonel Danylo Yermolenko was killed during a revolt against hetman Ivan Briukhovetsky.[7] Starting from 1706 the regiment was employed in the construction of Kyiv Fortress by the government of tsar Peter I, which caused protest against its Cossacks.[8] During the 18th century Pereiaslav Regiment served as one of 10 administrative units of the Hetmanate.[9] Following its liquidation, in 1782 the regiment's territory became part of Kiev Viceroyalty of the Russian Empire.[10]
