Acting Hetman

Acting Hetman

Acting Hetman (Cyrillic:Наказний гетьман (Ukrainian)) was a title during the 17th, and 18th centuries, in the Cossack Hetmanate. [uk icon http://history.franko.lviv.ua/IIn.htm] The acting hetman was the governing authority in the Hetmanate temporarily substituted for the hetman. The acting hetman was appointed by the hetman himself, to perform the duties of the hetman when absent during military campaigns, foreign travels, or his incapacitation. And as a temporary replacement if the hetman's office became vacant, because of death, abdication, or deposed.

Some notable acting hetmans who held this form of the office were Yakym Somko who was appointed by Yurii Khmelnytsky in 1660 until his execution in 1663, Demian Mnohohrishny was appointed by Petro Doroshenko from 1668-1669 until becoming full time hetman, and Pavlo Polubotok who served as acting hetman in 1772, till 1724.
