  Bogdan Chmielnicki - LoveToKnow 1911
Chmielnicki, now doubly hateful to the Poles as being both a royalist and a Cossack, was again maltreated and chicaned, and only escaped from gaol by bribing his gaolers.
In June 1649, arrayed in cloth-of-gold and mounted on a white charger, Chmielnicki made his triumphal entry into Kiev, where he was hailed as the Maccabaeus of the Orthodox faith, and permitted the committal of unspeakable atrocities on the Jews and Roman Catholics.
Chmielnicki was now regarded not merely as a Cossack rebel, but as the arch-enemy of Catholicism in eastern Europe, and the pope granted a plenary absolution to all who took up arms against him.

CHMIELNICKI, BOHDAN [Chmielnicki, Bohdan], c.1595-1657, hetman (leader) of Ukraine.
As compromise with Poland proved to be impossible, Chmielnicki's objective came to be an independent Ukrainian state; for aid he turned to Czar Alexis of Russia.
The alliance ultimately led to the destruction of Ukrainian autonomy; its immediate result was resumption of the war, which ended only in 1667 with the Treaty of Andrusov, which partitioned Ukraine between Poland and Russia.

 Cossack Rebellion under Daniel Chmelnicki, 1648-1655
In 1648 Chmielnicki, for the Zaporozhe Cossacks, recognized the sovereignty of the Czars of Russia; the Cossack Rebellion thus turned into the Russo-Polish War.
Chmielnicki probably was the greatest leader in Cossack history.
His position therefore was more precarious than that of his Polish counterparts, and the size of the rebellion is at least to the same amount to be credited to the circumstances which caused the Cossacks to rebel than to Chmielnicki's charismatic leadership.

In 1648, the year the Thirty Years' War ended, the Ukrainian peasants were organized by Bogdan Chmielnitzky (or Chmielnicki) to avenge the high taxes and poverty.

Astonishingly (history is clearly subjective), there are modern historical accounts which view Chmielnicki as a Ukrainian national hero.
