Mychajlo Chanenko
Mychajlo Stepanowytsch Chanenko ( Ukrainian Ханенко Михайло Степанович , Polish Michał Chanenko , * around 1620; † 1680 in Baturyn , Ukraine ) was a Ukrainian Cossack and from 1669 to 1674 hetman of the right-wing Ukraine .
Mychajlo Chanenko came from a well-known family of Cossack officers as the son of Stepan Chanenko and took part in the uprising against Poland-Lithuania led by Bohdan Khmelnyzkyj in 1648–1657 . From 1656 to 1660 and from 1664 to 1669 he was Colonel of the Umanj Regiment and in this role supported the pro-Polish hetmans Jurij Khmelnyzkyj and Pavlo Teterja .
In 1670 Chanenko appeared as a supporter of Petro Sukhovy and an opponent of the hetman Petro Doroshenko . He had been proclaimed the hetman of the right bank of Ukraine by the Cossacks of Petro Suchowij and agreed with the Polish King Michael on the autonomy rights of the Cossacks. Poland recognized him as a hetman in the summer of 1670. The King of Poland left the command baton and insignia to Chanenko and, with reference to the "Hadiatsch Treaty" (also called Hadiatscher settlement, see: Treaty of Hadjatsch ), granted him the right to "rule Ukraine as if it were his property". In 1671 Jan Sobieski occupied larger parts of Podolia with his help and that of his Cossacks . Chaneko fought on Poland's side in the Ottoman-Polish War 1672–1676 , but lost a few battles against Doroshenko. Following the Polish defeat, the entire right bank of Ukraine passed into Turkish hands through the Treaty of Buczacz .
In 1674 Chanenko switched to the side of the Hetman Ivan Samoylowytsch , who was patronized by Russia , when he crossed the Dnieper to fight against Doroshenko. Chanenko handed over the insignia he had received from the late King Michael to Samoylowytsch and withdrew to Kiev. As a result, he received lands in the left bank of Ukraine and lived for some time in Volhynia .
In 1677/1678 he was accused by Russia of re-establishing contact with Poland and was imprisoned by Samoylowytsch in Baturyn, where he died.
