Proposed creation of tripartite
Polish?Lithuanian?Ruthenian Commonwealth
in 1658
Grand Principality of Rus'
(
Ukrainian
: Велике Княз?вство Руське,
Polish
: Wielkie Ksi?stwo Ruskie),
[1]
also known in historiography as
Grand Principality of Ruthenia
, was the project of the state as a member of the
Polish?Lithuanian?Ruthenian Commonwealth
in the territory of
Kiev Voivodeship
,
Bracław Voivodeship
and
Chernihiv Voivodeship
. Its creation was proposed by
Hetman
Ivan Vyhovsky
with
Yuri Nemyrych
and
Pavlo Teteria
in September 1658 during the negotiations between the
Cossack Hetmanate
and the Commonwealth. The project of the Duchy was approved in the first version of the
Treaty of Hadiach
, but later, because of the strong resistance of Polish society, the idea of the
Grand Principality of Rus
was completely abandoned.
[2]
The Cossacks were very disappointed with the final version of the treaty and
The Ruin
began. Yuri Nemyrych, the alleged author of the
Grand Principality of Rus
project, was killed in a local fight in August 1659 and Vyhovsky lost his power in October 1659, thus the project did not become a reality.
