Life

Petro Kalnyschewskyj was born in Pustowijtiwka ( Пустовійтівка ) in what is now Romny Raion in the Ukrainian Sumy Oblast .

Kalnyschewskyj was the first ataman of the Zaporozhye Cossacks in 1762 and again from 1765 to the destruction of the Sitsch in 1775. As an ataman he commanded the units of the Cossacks in the 5th Russian Turkish War and was then honored with the Order of St. Andrew the First Appointed and promoted to lieutenant general .

After the destruction of the Zaporozhian Sitsch in early June 1775, he was arrested on June 25, 1775 on the orders of Empress Catherine II and his entire property was confiscated. Kalnyshevskyi was initially taken to Moscow and then, at the suggestion of Prince Grigory Potemkin , he was imprisoned from the end of July 1776 in the Solovetsky Monastery on the Solovetsky Islands in the White Sea , where he spent the rest of his life. The Russian Emperor Alexander I pardoned him in 1801. However, Kalnyschewskyj remained in the monastery, meanwhile blind and very old.
