  Australian Information from Wikipedia
Cossacks for their part were mostly happy to plunder everybody more or less equally, although in the sixteenth century, with the dominance of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth extending south, the Zaporozhian Cossacks were mostly, if tentatively, regarded by the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth as their subjects.
Cossack ambitions to be recognised as equal to the szlachta were constantly rebuffed, and plans for transforming the Polish-Lithuanian Two-Nations Commonwealth into Three Nations (with the Ruthenian Cossack people) made little progress due to the Cossack's unpopularity.
The divisions of the Cossacks within was clearly visible between those that chose to stay loyal to the Russian Monarch and continue the service (who later moved to the Kuban) and those that chose to continue their pro-mercenary role and ran off the Danube delta.

Cossack ambitions to be recognized as equal to the szlachta were constantly rebuffed, and plans for transforming the Two-Nations Commonwealth (Polish-Lithuanian) into Three Nations (with the Ruthenian Cossack people) made little progress due to their lack of popularity within the Commonwealth.
The Cossack's strong historic allegiance to the Eastern Orthodox Christianity in the Commonwealth dominated by the Catholicism increased the tensions, especially when the Commonwealth policies turned from relative tolerance to suppression of the Orthodox church, which made the Cossacks strongly anti-Catholic which at the time was synonymous to anti-Polish.
Cossacks served as border guards and protectors of towns, forts, settlements and trading posts, performed policing functions on the frontiers and also came to represent an integral part of the Russian army.

The Russian army, however, sought revenge by razing the Cossack capital Baturyn, killing the defending garrison and all of its population.

 Cossack at AllExperts
Cossacks became first widely known in western Europe in the mid-seventeenth century as a result of the great revolt ([1], [2], [3], [4]) of Bohdan Khmelnytsky and the Zaporozhians in Ukraine against the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, which shook the geopolitical foundations of eastern Europe.
Famous are the Cossacks () of the Don, Terek and Ural regions, as well as areas of Siberia which they colonised in the seventeenth century.
As a result during Soviet times, Cossack culture was subject to intensive Bolshevik persecution and ethnic Cossack lands survived several famines.

 Ivan Mazepa Summary
With the aid of his Russian friends, he was elected hetman (chief) of the Ukrainian Cossack state in 1687.
As hetman, Mazepa found it necessary to devote much of his time to coping with turbulent and rebellious groups under his jurisdiction.
The consequences of that flight were inauspicious for his cause: few Cossacks answered his call, the Russian troops ravaged Baturin, and the Czar tightened his hold over the Ukrainian Cossacks by having a docile hetman elected to replace Mazepa.

 Mazepa - Thagodz Wiki
Ivan Stepanovych Mazepa (Ukrainian: Іван Степанович Мазепа; Russian: Иван Степанович Мазепа, historically spelled as Mazeppa; circa 1640—August 28, 1709), Cossack Hetman (Ataman) of the Hetmanate in Left-bank Ukraine, in 1687–1708.
The Russian army was ordered to tie up the dead Cossacks to crosses, and float them down the Dnieper River all the way to the Black Sea.
This is because he was one of the first post-treaty hetmans to take a stand against the Tsar who had abused the Treaty of Pereyaslav.
