Descendants of Cossack Elders among the Governors and Vice-governors in the Governorates of the Kingdom of Poland. The Way to Advancement

Summary/Abstract: The article presents a selected genealogy of the descendants of Cossack elders of Hetmanate and Slobozhanshchyna, who in the second half of the 19th century held positions of governors or vice-governors in the Russian administration of the Kingdom of Poland. The aim of the work is to find those key moments in the history of the family who chose such a career and their proteges in the bureaucracy of the Russian Empire. Representatives of the Left-bank Ukraine were a notable group of 134 governors and vice-governors in the Kingdom of Poland, during the russified administration of the Kingdom by the Russian Empire (1867–1918). Thus, it was a larger group than the emigrants from the Rightbank Ukraine, Podolia and Volyn together. This observation may lead to a conclusion that this was the result of a specific relationship between the Russian Empire and the Cossack elite of the former Slobozhanshchyna and Hetmanate in the 19th century.
