Vinnytsia Regiment (Ukrainian: Вінницький полк), originally known as Kalnyk Regiment (Ukrainian: Кальницький полк), was an administrative division of the Cossack Hetmanate. Its administrative headquarters was initially based in Kalnyk (modern-day Vinnytsia Oblast), but later transferred to Vinnytsia.

History

The regiment was mentioned in the Registry of the Zaporozhian Host compiled following the Treaty of Zboriv in 1649.[2] In 1669 the regiment's Cossacks mutinied against hetman Petro Doroshenko, supporting his Zaporozhian Sich rival Petro Sukhoviy.[3] After Doroshenko's fall from popularity, in 1675 the regiment recognized the rule of Polish-supported acting hetman Ostap Hohol.[4] The regiment remained in the Polish sphere of influence until 1704.[5] In 1711 the regiment's Cossacks joined the forces of Pylyp Orlyk during his campaign against the troops of Peter I of Russia; as a result, after Peter's counteroffensive they were deported to the Left-bank Ukraine.[6]
