Vasyl Kochubey Vasyl Leontiyovych Kochubey ( ) ( c . 1640 – July 15 , 1708 ) was a Ukrainian nobleman and statesman of Tatar descent . His great - grandson was the eminent imperial statesman Viktor Kochubey . The family name is also spelled Kotchoubey ( French ) and Kotschoubey ( German , Almanach de Gotha ) . Between 1687 and 1704 Kochubey was a close associate of the Ukrainian hetman Ivan Mazepa . He was nominated chief judge of the Cossack Hetmanate and stolnik . As a Cossack military leader , Kochubey took part in the Azov campaigns of 1695 and 1696 . In 1704 Kochubey ' s 20 - year - old daughter , Motria fell in love with 63 - year - old Ivan Mazepa . Her feelings were returned , but Mazepa didn ' t ask for her hand as such marriage would have been considered incestuous by canon law because Mazepa was Motrya ' s godfather . Kochubey and especially his wife took this affair as a personal insult . As a result Kochubey distanced himself from Mazepa . Between 1704 and 1707 he warned repeatedly Tsar Peter I of Russia about Mazepa ’ s secret intention to break away from Russia . In 1707 he approached the governor of Kiev , Prince Dmitry Golitsyn , submitting detailed information about Mazepa ’ s dealings with the Poles and Swedes and divulging the hetman ' s plan to side with Stanislaus I Leszczyński and Charles XII against Russia . The Tsar , however , flatly refused to believe Kochubey . He commissioned Gavriil Golovkin and Peter Shafirov to investigate Kochubey ’ s allegations . In the meantime , Vasyl Kochubey ' s correspondence was intercepted , he was arrested and tortured . Having been turned over to Mazepa , on July 15 , 1708 Vasyl Kochubey was beheaded in the village of Borshchahivka ( ) , near Bila Tserkva . Within few months Mazepa ' s dissent became known and Kochubey was given dignified burial within the grounds of the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra . Kochubey ' s story was romanticised by Aleksandr Pushkin in his poem " Poltava " and by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky in his opera " Mazeppa " .
Operation Sportpalast Operation Sportpalast ( translates to " sports palace " ) was the action by " Tirpitz " and its escorting destroyers against Arctic convoys PQ - 12 and QP - 8 . It took place in early March , 1942 and it was the first attempt to disrupt an Arctic convoy . Convoy PQ - 12 sailed from Reykjavík for Murmansk on 1 March , escorted by the battlecruiser HMS " Renown " , the battleship HMS " Duke of York " , the cruiser HMS " Kenya " and six destroyers under command of Vice - Admiral Curteis . Convoy QP - 8 left Murmansk on the return route at about the same time , expecting to pass PQ - 12 near Bear Island . Additional naval forces , the battleship HMS " King George V " , the aircraft carrier HMS " Victorious " , the cruiser HMS " Berwick " and six destroyers , sailed from Scapa Flow on 6 March to join Vice - Admiral Curteis near Jan Mayen Island . " Tirpitz " left Fættenfjord on 5 March , in response to a report from a spotter plane and was joined by Admiral Ciliax and an escort of 3 destroyers on the following day . In turn , the German movements were reported by a British submarine . Despite using her destroyers to sweep for the convoys , " Tirpitz " missed QP - 8 . A slow freighter , " Izhora " , was caught by the destroyers and sunk after reporting the attack . The German and British forces and the two convoys managed to move around each other in the vicinity of Bear Island without meeting each other or being seen by spotter aircraft . Advice from German High Command and the British Admiralty added to the confusion of the commanders on the spot . Eventually , on the 9th of March , aircraft from the " Illustrious " spotted and shadowed the German flotilla , despite being attacked by " Tirpitz ' s " aircraft . The consequent air attacks where unsuccessful but encouraged the Germans to return to Norway . The two convoys reached port safely but the incident had demonstrated the threat that convoys faced . In March and April , 1942 , RAF Bomber Command made three unsuccessful attacks on the " Tirpitz " .
Battle of Iganie The Battle of Iganie was fought on 10 April 1831 between Russian and Polish forces . It was one of the last major battles of the November Uprising and the last major victory of the Poles . Background . Following the battle of Grochów of 25 February , the Poles managed to stop the Russian advance and repel the forces of General Hans Karl von Diebitsch . However , it was not until the spring that a Polish Corps under Ignacy Prądzyński started a counter - offensive . The Poles , numbering some 11 , 000 men ( both bayonettes and sabres ) and 16 cannons advanced rapidly towards the town of Siedlce , a major Russian munitions depot . On 10 April 1831 the Poles encountered the withdrawing forces of Gen . Grigorij Rosen in the village of Iganie , several miles west of Siedlce , at the Muchawka river . Prelude and description . Prądzyński , believing the remainder of the Polish forces would arrive shortly , decided to assault the Russians with his avant garde only . The mounted artillery units under Gen . Józef Bem took advantage of its mobility and successfully shelled the village of Iganie defended by Russian infantry . This allowed for the Polish infantry led by Prądzyński himself to recapture the village . After the initial surprise , the Russian forces managed to regroup across the river and started shelling the Poles with their artillery , much supperior in numbers . Seeing the numerical inferiority of the Poles , the Russian commander ordered the artillery barrage to stop and the infantry to charge the Polish positions from across the river . However , shortly after the Russians entered the combat , the combined forces of Prądzyński ' s infantry and Gen . Ludwik Kicki ' s cavalry managed to cut the Russians from their rear and seize the sole bridge above the river . Aftermath . After a short struggle , the Russians lost the battle . The Polish commander in chief Gen . Jan Skrzynecki who arrived at the battlefield later that day opposed the idea of a pursuit of the Russian forces and because of that the Polish victory was somehow pyrrhic .
