In 1667, Muscovite Rus' and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth concluded the Treaty of Andrusovo, according to which Ukraine was divided into two parts along the Dnieper: the Left Bank went to Moscow, the Right Bank (excluding Kyiv) to Warsaw. For more than a hundred years, both sides of the Dnieper were rocked by powerful national uprisings. The rebels of the Right Bank were called Haidamaks. The most significant of the Haidamak revolts was the uprising of 1768, known in history as Koliivshchyna. It was led by the Zaporozhye Cossack Maxim Zaliznyak and the court Cossack Ivan Gonta. The uprising spread throughout Right Bank Ukraine and reached the Carpathian Mountains. The Polish gentry were completely defeated by the Haidamaks and turned to the Moscow Tsar for help. The events of the Koliivshchyna are described in the novel by the famous Ukrainian writer Yuri Mikhailovich Mushketik.
