History

The position of
Hetman of the Zaporizhian Host
, also known as the "Hetman of all Ukraine",
[3]
was established in 1648 during the
Khmelnytsky Uprising
and first held by
Bohdan Khmelnytsky
as the leader of the
Cossack Hetmanate
. During that period, the office was an elected position. Later in the late 18th century, it was successfully liquidated by the Russian government during the expansion of the Russian territory towards the Black Sea coast.
The position of Hetman of all Ukraine was established in 1918 by
Pavlo Skoropadskyi
, a descendant of the former hetman of the Zaporizhian Host
Ivan Skoropadsky
. The Law on the Provisional State System of Ukraine was announced at the session of the
Central Council of Ukraine
on 29 April 1918, which laid a legal groundwork for the new position. Pavlo Skoropadskyi transformed Ukraine into the autocratic
Ukrainian State
under the protection of the
Central Powers
, while expelling the Bolshevik forces of
Soviet Russia
. During his term, the Communist Party was prohibited on the territory of Ukraine for the first time. After the uprising led by the
Directorate of Ukraine
, Pavlo Skoropadskyi surrendered the title on 14 December 1918,
[1]
transferring the state power to the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine and going into exile to
Germany
.
After the establishment of the
Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic
, members of the
Skoropadsky family
established the Hetmanate movement that sought the recreation of the office with a royal house.
