Sloboda Ukraine (Russian: Слободская Украина) or Slobozhanshchina (Слобожанщина) was a historical region (17th–18th centuries) on the frontier of Muscovy and Imperial Russia, settled by Ukrainian Cossacks that were fugitives from Poland, as well as by peasants and townspeople.
In 1835, Sloboda Ukraine became Kharkov Guberniya, ceding some territory to Voronezh and Kursk, under the Little Russian governorship of Left-bank Ukraine.
