Guidelines
Revealing the first question, we should pay attention to the fact that in modern historical literature there are various scientific concepts regarding the national liberation struggle of the Ukrainian people in XVII century. Modern historians – V.Smoliy, V.Stepankov, V.Litvin and others believe in its importance, scale, radical changes in the state system, political organization, social structure, cultural life event can be interpreted as the Ukrainian national revolution of the XVII century. Prerequisites and its development were shared with the revolutions in the Netherlands, Germany, England and France. New in history is that in the present conditions, the researchers point to focus national liberation struggle not only against the Rich Pospolyta, but also against other enemies of the independence of the Ukrainian people.
Disclose that the national liberation war of the Ukrainian people against the Polish nobility was caused primarily deprived socio-economic, political and religious situation of the Ukrainian society. This caused great indignation of all segments of the population, which resulted in a series of peasant and Cossack revolts. Cossacks served as guiding and leading force of the liberation war and was the nucleus of the Ukrainian army. The peasants took a very active part in the struggle against religious, national and social oppression. Opposed the policy of Polish and Ukrainian feudal enslavement, placed requirements for obtaining personal freedom and the right to own land. Cossack officers became the leading force in the liberation struggle.
Under Zborowski agreement in 1649 was the creation of autonomous Cossack Ukraine within Bratslav, Kyiv and Chernihiv provinces. During the liberation war of the mid-seventeenth century as a result of the transaction Khmelnytsky was able to build an independent Ukrainian state. State building Ukrainian society was carried out in stages: Stage I (February-September, 1648) - Development of the idea of the autonomy of the Cossack territory of the Rich Pospolyta; Stage II (September 1648 - August 1649) - distinguishing political program with the main objective - creation of an independent Ukrainian state within all ethnic lands of Ukraine, the third stage (August 1649 - June 1651) - activities by Khmelnitsky as real implementation of the idea of forming an independent state and negative consequences treacherous policy of the Crimean Khan, Stage IV (July 1651-March 1654) - the defeat of policy autonomy within the Rich Pospolyta and the Ukrainian-Russian agreement. In the liberated lands was organized local and central authorities - shelves and hundreds, introduced new administrative-territorial division (such as territorial and political system Zaporizhska Sich).
Pay attention to the fact that the Hetman state consisted of a strong modern army, which was characterized by courage, the fighting spirit, strict discipline. Number army reached 130-150 thousand people. Ukrainian Cossack State had its financial system. Hetman universals defined conditions and pay income taxes to the state treasury.
Being in complex foreign policy terms, Khmelnytsky appealed for help to Moscow. On October 9, 1653 to Ukraine was sent emergency diplomatic mission to enforce the Zemsky Sobor. In March 1654 was signed the agreement (Bereznevi statti), in which Ukraine became a part of the Moscow State as an autonomy.
Studying the fourth question, it should be noted that the period of "Ruina" - a period of social and political history of Ukraine in the second half of the XVII century, which is characterized by a complex socio-political situation and resolve the Civil War. Over time Cossack elite increased attack on the rights of ordinary Cossacks, increased dependence Ukrainian farmers from landowners. In addition, a return to the feudal sharpened the contradictions between villagers and the Ukrainian Cossack rank and nobility. Historical events, that developed in the late XVII century, led to the fact that the Ukrainian lands were dissected and captured by foreign countries (Rich Pospolyta, Russia, Turkey and the Crimean Khanate). By day "Ruina" was formation of new geopolitical realities associated primarily with growth in Central and Eastern Europe as Moscow.
