April 1855 CE

A Kiev Cossack revolt that began in the Vasylkiv county of Kiev Governorate (province) in February 1855 spreads across the whole Kiev and Chernigov governorates.

Led by peasants, the revolt finds great support among the Ukrainian landowners who oppose the war.[

The events are contemporary with the popular movement of Chłopomania that lays the foundations of the Ukrainian national awakening and the creation of the Kiev Hromada (Kiev Community), one of a network of secret societies of Ukrainian intelligentsia that will appear soon after the Crimean War.

Chłopomania is a historical and literary term inspired by the Young Poland modernist movement and the Ukrainian Hromady.

The expressions refer to the intelligentsia's fascination with, and interest in, the peasantry in late-nineteenth-century Galicia and right-bank Ukraine.
