Bohdan Zynoviy Mykhailovych Khmelnytsky ( (c. 1595 – 6
August 1657), was the Hetman of the Zaporozhian Host of the Crown of the
Kingdom of Poland in the Polish–Lithuanian
Commonwealth (now part of Ukraine). He led
an uprising against the
Commonwealth and its magnates (1648–1654) which
resulted in the creation of a Ukrainian Cossack state. In 1654, he
concluded the Treaty of
Pereyaslav with the Tsardom of Russia.
