Pryluky Regiment
military unit
The Pryluky Regiment was one of the seventeen territorial-administrative subdivisions of the Hetman State. The regiment's capital was the city of Pryluky, now in the Chernihiv Oblast, north-central Ukraine.
History
The regiment was created during the Khmelnytsky Uprising. Following the signing of the Treaty of Zboriv in 1649 it consisted a total of 21 companies, and had 2,100 registered Cossacks. During the uprising the regiment took part in the Battle of Berestechko in 1651. In 1657 Petro Doroshenko was appointed colonel of Pryluky. The regiment was involved in successfully suppressing Martyn Pushkar's revolt against the Vyhovsky government.
When a civil war emerged among the cossacks the Hetmanate was split along the Dnieper River into Left-bank Ukraine and Right-bank Ukraine, which placed the regiment under the control of Left-bank hetmans. After the Treaty of Andrusovo in 1667, the Tsardom of Russia gained sovereignty over Left-bank Ukraine and its regiments came under the administration of Russian tsar.
In 1766-1769 Cossacks of Pryluky Regiment petitioned empress Catherine II to restore the position of hetman in a letter to her legislative commission.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Pryluky Regiment”, the useful work is to connect “military unit” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 18, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4378602. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1649, 1651, 1657 and 1667.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
