Person
Ivan Vyhovsky
Ukrainian general and politician
Ivan Vyhovsky (Polish: Iwan Wyhowski) (died 1664) is a hetman (or otoman) of the Ukrainian Cossacks during three years (1657–59) of the Russo-Polish War (1654–1667).
He is the successor to the famous hetman and rebel leader Bohdan Khmelnytsky (see Hetmans of Ukrainian Cossacks).
His time as hetman is characterized by his generally pro-Polish policies, which lead to his defeat by pro-Russian Cossacks.
