Left-bank Ukraine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Left-bank Ukraine (Ukrainian: Livoberezhna Ukrayina; Russian: Levoberezhnaya Ukraina; Polish: Lewobrzeżna Ukraina) is a historic name of the part of Ukraine on the left (East) bank of the Dnieper River, comprising the modern-day oblasts of Chernihiv, Poltava and Sumy as well as the eastern parts of the Kiev and Cherkasy.

From the Treaty of Pereyaslav of 1654, this area of Ukraine was under Muscovite control, later reaffirmed in the Treaty of Andrusiv (1667) and the Eternal Peace Treaty (1686) between the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and Muscovy.

Left-bank Ukraine enjoyed a degree of autonomy within Muscovy (from 1721, imperial Russia) as the Cossack Hetmanate, which was slowly withdrawn throughout the eighteenth century.
