Problemy szlachty kijowskiej w drugiej połowie XVII wieku
Streszczenie
In the second half of the 17th century, the Kievian nobility has been forced to
leave their estates. Their exile began in 1648, and their difficulties have deepened
after 1654, when the Ukrainian territories have been occupied by the
Muscovy. Since 1653, the Kievian, Bratslavian, and Chernihivian dietines
have been held in Włodzimierz. This practice has been formally confirmed
by the statute of 1659. Volhynia thus has become the center of the political
activity of the Ukrainian nobility. Bereft of their means of support, the exiles
were clamoring for compensation and reclinatorium. Those postulates have
been satisfied after the conclusion of the Treaty of Andruszów and the Treaty
of Grzymułtowski, but the allocation of those funds has become a cause for
controversy at subsequent local assemblies. In the 1680-s some of the Kievians
have returned to their estates, as provided by the statute of 1683. The
dietine has been also dealing with fiscal matters. After the resumption of
the war with the Porte disputes between the nobility and the Cossacks have
also became more numerous. Finally, the abolition of the Cossack forces by
the statute of 1699 has led to a Cossack uprising. The nobility placed much
importance on the regular functioning of the courts, including careful maintenance
of public records. Due to their partial destruction, it has been asking
for their revision, as well as for the return of the records left behind in Kiev.
In the early stages of the Chmielnicki Uprising Kievians have attempted to
field county troops, but thereafter, left without means of their support, they
have been only able to assist the defense of the Commonwealth through service
in the militia. Although exempt from that duty, they have nevertheless
carried it out on several calls.
