Enyaz Yarema Vishnevetsky, who fled with the Princess, his son (Mikhail) and numerous “military gropiov people” (on salary), not counting “the dragoons and chosen ones, whom he incited an unhealed speech from his subjects in all cities” (countless multitude), as the modern “Chronicle of the beginning of the Khmelnitsky War” notes (see “Readings” in the Imperial Society of Russian History and Antiquity" 1846, Meeting of June 1, Section II, p. 17), or they were forced, in order to avoid abuse from the Polish-Lithuanian people, "any significant (noble) person did not want to become attached to that Cossack army, only musel, for the sake of being ridiculed and unbearable troubles in beatings on food (drinks) and extraordinary feed, and these mueels (forced) to pester until that Cossack."

And at that hour there was a great hardship for people of every kind who would become significant." It is not surprising, because there are almost no of these “significant” left on the left Trans-Dnipro region, as evidenced by our “Cossack Registers”, in which, in comparison with the nicknames in -ich and -skiy, awarded to them on the right Trans-Dnipro region, there are far fewer of them: “all that was a must either to flow away and give way.” from Ukraine, or, having stood up, they stood back." Indeed, the current Little Russian Dvordian surnames on this side of the Dnipro are for the most part of new origin, Kozadkia, that is, whose ancestors were various Cossack Chiefs. * Of course, this excludes the previous ones from wherever
