TI - THE PARTICIPATION OF THE LEFT-BANK HETMANATE’S ARMY IN THE WAR OF THE POLISH SUCCESSION 1733–1735
AB - 
	The war of the Polish succession from 1733 until 1734 was an important armed conflict in the history of Central and Eastern European countries. Undertaking a military intervention to fight for the Polish crown, the Russian Empire actively used the armed resources of its satellite state – the Left-Bank Hetmanate. Ukrainian Cossack regiments, comprising mostly light cavalry, were used by the Russian command to fight the army of Polish confederates – supporters of Stanisław Leszczyński, to organize reconnaissance, for defence, for patrolling and for convoy and courier services. During these two years, 16,000 Cossacks were mobilized to meet the Russian demand. Their participation in combat revealed the weak points of the Cossack army and contributed to its reform in 1735.
