  Hetmans of Ukrainian Cossacks - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hetman (or ataman) was the title used by commanders of the Ukrainian Cossacks at the end of sixteenth century.
After the split of Ukraine along the Dnieper River by the Polish-Russian Treaty of Andrusovo 1667, Ukrainian Cossacks of the Hetmanate (and Cossack Hetmans) are known as Left-bank Cossacks and Right-bank Cossacks.
In Russia, the office of Cossack Hetman was suppressed in 1734-1750, and finally abolished by Catherine II of Russia in 1764.

 Ivan Vyhovsky - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ivan Vyhovsky (Ukrainian: Іван Виговський, Polish: Iwan Wyhowski)(reigned 1657-1659) was a hetman (or otoman) of the Ukrainian Cossacks, and the successor to the famous hetman and rebel leader Bohdan Khmelnytsky (see Hetmans of Ukrainian Cossacks).
In Polish military service, he was captured by Khmelnystsky's rebel Cossack forces at Zhovti Vody in May of 1648, he was freed on account of his education and experience and rose to become secretary-general or chancellor (heneralny pysar) of the Cossacks and one of Khmelnytsky's closest advisors.
While the Cossack elite and the ecclesiastical authorities supported this pro-Polish orientation, the masses and the Cossack rank-and-file remained deeply suspicious and resentful of the Poles, by whom they had long been forced into serfdom.
