The legal solution to these questions was already difficult because Maloroseya, having fought off the Poles, repudiated with a popular vote the VBF of the former Form of legal life: agreeing to citizenship of the Russian Tsar, Khmelnitsa - the first point of the act of annexing Little Russia - set out to confirm "the rights and liberties of the military, as" from the VFK happened in Zaporozhye troops, that their rights narrowed and their liberties in property [property] and in the courts.” zo) Diya legal’ definition of rights and liberties of the “army” had to turn to the unwritten regulations of the Zaporozhian SBCH, with which, as we have already seen, the herd was bound to connect its similar new “Zaporozhye army”, i.e. the privileged part of the people inhabiting the left bank of the middle493 83°) Bant.-Kam,, History Small Rosssh, 1 note $h. 53 = 99 him Dnfpra. But having established the Cossack Communities as homeless associations, they were far from being able to meet all the needs of civil society. The people positively did not want to turn to the history of the region: it seemed to them inseparable from the Polish oppression and thereby repelled the people's memory 3'). The collection of southwestern Russian laws, the Lithuanian statute, was, in the people's memory, erased by the Polish arbitrariness to such an extent that it was not the rapf of the late 15th century that turned to it. In a word, it was necessary to create new regulations and create them carefully, without disturbing the weak strings of the people who had barely calmed down; it was necessary to speak loudly about “the rights and liberties that happened in the VFKs,” but only quietly and quietly to create defined Forms for the civil life of the people, rationally, guided by the history of the region. Given this situation, the peasants could not come to terms with the idea that the land that they themselves, with enormous sacrifices, had recaptured from the Poles, could be transferred entirely into the hands of the ruler, and they themselves could be sold to him as “subdued.”
The entire struggle with the Poles was not presented to the people as anything other than a struggle for freedom from all sorts of Polish pagans. because that rent here, in the Little Russian cities, is not so burdensome to the people with its taxes, as the very name from “long ago” (partly because under the Polish powers the Jews were in control and many fictitious burdens were inflicted) is annoying and full of dishonor and blasphemy.

The people, vividly remembering the Khmelnitsky war, lost the large landowners and their settlement beyond the borders of the already free landowners, considered the land rights of the swap to be fraudulent.
Indeed, if we look at the peculiarities of the history of land ownership in Little Russia, starting with Khmelnitsky, then these facts will appear even clearer to us.
When the Poles were expelled from Malorosesh, the right to the land passed from them, like us, to the “army”.
But Vaseleshe Malorosesh at that time was so insignificant that many lands were “wasted” 3*).
32) Willow settlements settled on such empty lands and none of the tfhs, whom the latter were considered to be, argued against this, since there was no shortage of lands.
