Ivan Mychajlowytsch Sulyma ( Ukrainian Іван Михайлович Сулима , * late 16th century in Rohoschtschi near Chernihiv ; † December 12, 1635 in Warsaw ) was the ataman of the Zaporozhian Cossacks in today's Ukraine from 1628 to 1629 and from 1630 to 1635 .
Ascent
He made himself popular with the Cossacks through his raids on the Crimea and other territories of Ottoman vassals . For organizing a revolt in an Ottoman slave - galley and the liberation of Christian galley slaves he received from Pope Paul V a medal. In 1628 he was first elected an ataman.
Sulyma uprising
On the night of August 3rd, 1635, after Sulyma had returned with his troops from a campaign against the Turks on the Black Sea , destroyed the newly built Polish fortress of Kodak on the Dnieper and thus led the uprising named after him against Polish rule.
The Cossacks then attacked several other Polish outposts in Ukraine, such as those at Cherkassy and Korsun-Shevchenkivskyi . Thereupon Poland sent troops under Stanisław Koniecpolskis , who defeated the Cossacks and took Sulyma prisoner. After being brought to Warsaw, Sulyma, after hesitating because he had received a medal from the Pope, was sentenced to death by the Polish King Władysław IV Wasa , tortured and executed on December 12, 1635.
