Pavlo Leontijowytsch Polubotok ( Ukrainian Павло Леонтійович Полуботок ; * 1660 near Schramkivka ; † December 29, 1724 in Saint Petersburg , Russian Empire ) was the hetman of the left bank of Ukraine between 1722 and 1724 .

Life

Polubotok graduated from the Kiev Mohyla Academy in 1679 and married Jefymija Samoilowytsch, a niece of Ivan Samoylowytsch, in 1680 . Since he was involved in a conspiracy against Hetman Ivan Masepa in 1689 , his career efforts were slowed down until he was appointed Colonel of the Chernigov Regiment in 1706. After the defeat in the Battle of Poltava in 1709 and the subsequent escape of Masepas, Polubotok ran for the office of hetman, but the Russian Tsar Peter I did not trust him and supported the candidacy of Ivan Skoropadskyj . After his death, he ran again and was July 4th . / July 15,  1722 greg. elected hetman.

As a hetman, Polubotok carried out reforms and advocated more autonomy for the Cossack hetmanate within the Russian Empire and the restoration of the privileges of the Cossack nobility, which the Russian emperor disliked. Peter the Great sent his general Alexander Ivanovich Rumyantsev to investigate the government work of Polubotok in the Ukraine and shortly afterwards Pavlo Polubotok was arrested. After he was brought to Saint Petersburg and locked in the Peter and Paul Fortress in November 1723 , he died there a year later.

Polubotok found its way into literature through poems by Taras Shevchenko and the historical drama Pavlo Polubotok by Kost Burewij ( Кость Буреві́й ).
