dc.description | Despite the erosion of Ukrainian sovereignty under Russia's escalating military and political pressure, certain components of the nation's political culture persisted. These components, including the emphasis on territorial inviolability and the right to exercise sovereignty over individuals, groups, and the entire population within its own territory, continued to be significant elements of the political culture until the establishment of the Little Russian governorship in Ukraine-Hetmanate. Despite the endeavors of the Cossack officers to defend the rights of the Hetmanate, its integration into the imperial system resulted in the loss of autonomy and the transformation of its identity. Nevertheless, elements of this culture continued to exert influence on the formation of the national idea and legal tradition in Ukraine. | |
dc.description.abstract | Following the incorporation of the Hetmanate into the Moscow Kingdom in 1654 (an event that was facilitated by the Pereyaslav Treaty), there was a considerable shift in the political and legal culture of the Cossack officers. This was due to the gradual convergence of the Ukrainian elite with the Moscow administration, which resulted in the establishment of novel legal and political traditions. Concurrently, the Cossack officers endeavored to maintain the autonomy of the Hetmanate and their class privileges, a course of action that gave rise to complex interactions with the imperial authorities. The political and legal culture of the Cossack officers of the Hetmanate within the Russian state was shaped by several factors, including: ● the remnants of the traditional autonomous Cossack state established by Bohdan Khmelnytsky; ● the influence of the Moscow legal system, which was increasingly integrated into the Hetmanate; ● socio-economic changes that led to the growth of the influence of the elders as a landpolitical elite. The author observes that, despite the pressure from the imperial authorities, the Cossack officers continued to consider themselves the bearers of the traditional political culture of the Hetmanate and insisted on observing the traditional Cossack rights and freedoms enshrined in the articles of Bohdan Khmelnytsky and subsequent Hetman's universals. The legal culture of the Ukrainian elite was also influenced by political and cultural norms, which were widely recognized as requirements for the behavior of political actors. However, it should also be noted that many representatives of the officers (e.g., K. Razumovsky, D. Apostol) received high positions in the empire, which formed a culture of compromise and loyalty to the Russian government among the officers. | |
