  Ivan Mazepa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
In 1687, Ivan Mazepa accused Samoylovych of conspiring to secede from Russia, secured his ouster and was elected the Hetman of the Left-bank Ukraine, with the support of Vasily Galitzine's Muscovite government.
Mazepa's decision to abandon his allegiance to the Russian Empire was considered treason by the Russian tsar and a violation of the Treaty of Pereyaslav.

MAZEPA-KOLEDINSKY, IVAN STEPANOVICH (1644?-1709), hetman of the Cossacks, belonging to a noble Orthodox family, was born possibly at Mazeptsina, either in 1629 or 1644, the latter being the more probable date.
Mazepa had no temptations to be anything but loyal, and loyal he would doubtless have remained had not Charles XII.
Then it was that Mazepa, who had had doubts of the issue of the struggle all along, made up his mind that Charles, not Peter, was going to win, and that it was high time he looked after his own interests.

Neither the place nor the date of the birth of Ivan Mazepa can be given with certainty, but there is evidence that he was born a Polish subject in what is now the Ukraine and that his parents were landed gentry of the Eastern Orthodox faith.
The only hope remaining for Mazepa lay in Swedish military strength; and when the Swedes were decisively defeated by the Russians at Poltava on June 27, 1709, even that hope was dissipated.
Despite Peter's efforts to extradite Mazepa, the aged and ailing hetman was given sanctuary in Turkey.

In his youth he was a page at the court of John Casimir of Poland, and later was in the service of the hetmans in the Ukraine.
Although Mazepa was a liberal patron of the Church, his attempts to favour the richer Cossacks under his rule led to opposition from the majority of the Cossacks and the peasants.
When Charles XII invaded the Ukraine in 1708, however, Mazepa was supported in his revolt by the Zaporozh'ye Cossacks.

The other new co-tsar was Ivan V (brother of Sophia, half brother of Peter I and older than Peter I but incapable to rule because of his body and mind weakness).
Mazepa subsequently succeeded the established hetman of the Ukraine (1687) and fought against the Crimean Tatars (1689).
Mazepa, however, was able neither to inspire the Ukrainian population to revolt against the Russians nor to supply the Swedes with enough Cossacks to prevent the Russians from inflicting a major defeat upon them at Poltava (June 1709).

 Tighina - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the 18th century, the fort's area was expanded and modernized by the prince of Moldavia Antioh Cantemir, who carried out these works under the Ottoman supervision.
In 1713, the fortress was the site of a skirmish (kalabalik) between Charles XII of Sweden, who had taken refuge there with Cossack leader Ivan Stepanovich Mazepa after their failed attack on Russia, and Turks who wished to take him hostage and exploit the political difficulties of central Europe.
Tighina fell three times to the Russians during the Russo-Turkish Wars, was annexed alongside with Bessarabia to Russia in 1812 and remained in Russian hands until 1918.

Ivan Fedorov had set up the first printing press in Moscow in 1564 but was soon driven out by a superstitious mob aroused by the professional manuscript copiers.
During his rule Mazepa proved himself completely incapable of checking the gradual enserfment of the peasants and the creation of a new noble class of Cossack officers who took over the titles and privileges formerly held by their Polish masters which the Cossacks had fought against for over two centuries.
Mazepa's only real achievement, and a noteworthy one, was his patronage of Ukrainian religious and cultural life.

Although the Russians portray Ivan Mazeppa as a villain, the Ukrainian leader, who built churches and established libraries and educational institutions, was venerated by his countrymen as a patriot, statesman, and diplomat.
That title character, Ivan Stepanovich Mazeppa, was either a valiant and idealistic leader, a reprehensible traitor, or something in between; it depends on who's doing the telling.
Surviving the ordeal, Mazepa was found by a group of Ukrainian peasants who hailed him as a liberator sent miraculously to their subjugated land.

 08 Sep History: This Date
Having served as a page at the court of the Polish king John II Casimir Vasa [22 Mar 1609 – 16 Dec 1672], Mazepa was educated in western Europe but returned to his native land and in 1663 entered the service of Pyotr Doroshenko, the Cossack hetman of Ukraine west of the Dnieper River.
When Charles led his forces into the Ukraine seeking supplies and reinforcements, Mazepa and 5000 of his Cossacks joined the Swedes instead of going to the aidof the Russians (October 1708).
Mazepa, however, was able neither to inspire the Ukrainian population to revolt against the Russians nor to supply the Swedeswith enough Cossacks to prevent the Russians from inflicting a major defeat upon them at Poltava (08 Jul 1709).
