The purpose of this article is to examine the changing perspectives of the national elite of the Cossack
state from sovereignty to autonomy, and to clarify the influence of both international and domestic
factors on this process.
During the period in which the Ukrainian Cossack state was formed, functioned, and eventually declined,
the political elite’s focus on political separateness was reflected in various political and legal views
demonstrating different levels of state subjectivity. To define these views, we will use established concepts
in historical science, such as autonomy and sovereignty
Опис
The legal subjectivity of the Ukrainian political elite has been reduced to post-sovereign
autonomism due to increasing foreign policy imperial pressure. The typological characteristics of
this are the following: 1) recognition of the supreme power of the protector-monarch; 2) refusal to
regulate social relations by the laws of the protector’s country; 3) categorical denial of the right of
the political elite of the monarch-protector’s country to perform any managerial functions within the
political system of the Hetmanship.
