message: Quote from the article: 
:After the Battle of Poltava in 1709, he escaped together with Hetman Ivan Mazepa and king Charles XII of Sweden to Bender in Ottoman Empire...
Bender was a city of the Principality of Moldova, which "enjoyed some degree of incomplete sovereignty under Turkish rule, in that it was never annexed and integrated as a pashalik, or province, into the Ottoman Empire, as were, for instance, Bulgaria, Serbia, and, for a short time, Hungary" (quote from the Historical Dictionary of Moldova, pag. 333, 2007, 2nd edition).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Free-Dacian (talk • contribs) 04:50, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Hetman in exile

message: Was found in Russian achieves, see here (in ). Is this worth mentioning? — Mariah-Yulia (talk) 07:02, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Of course it is worth. I have to say that this paper is actually not written in Ukrainian. Its language is extremly close to the literary Russian. "Pylyp" ("Пилип") even calls him Filipp (Филипп) there.(irony) The only essential difference is some very rare polonisms like "рок" ("rok") and "нехай" ("niechaj"). Well, it is indeed a good example of the Small Russian dialect. — Glebchik (talk) 18:08, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

replies: text:  Nice, but no cigar. The Orlyk constitution was originally written in Latin, FYI: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitution_of_Pylyp_Orlyk

thread_title:  "Constitution" by Philip Orlik 

message: According to the current version of the page, Orlyk was in office as Hetman of Ukraine from 1710 to 1742, preceded by Ivan Mazepa (in office 1687-1708) and succeeded by Ivan Skoropadsky (in office 1708-1722, died in 1722). Obviously, there is a discrepancy in dates. It is well known that Orlyk was a hetman in exile only, recognized by the Cossacks in exile and the king of Sweden. When he succeeded Mazepa as the hetman-in-exile, Skoropadsky had already been holding the title of  hetman for about a year and a half, since November 1708. Thus, Orlyk was never succeded by anyone as hetman-in-exhile, much less in 1742 as hetman by Skoropadsky, who died in 1722.
Furthermore, there were no "Hetmans of Ukraine" until 1918, and the only person to hold such a title was Pavlo (Pavel) Skoropadsky, great-great-grandson of Ivan Skoropansky. In the times of Orlyk, there were Hetmans of the Cossack Army (not sure what the established translation is).

replies: text: Yes, and the phrase "Hetman of Ukraine in exile" on the page links to the page on the 1918 position - this should definitely be removed as it's misleading. FlibbaDibbaDoo (talk) 13:39, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
