After the military defeat, hetman Ivan Mazepa together with Cossack starshyna (senior Cossack officers) were forced to emigrate to Tighina (Bender), the Ottoman Empire territory, where he died in September 1709. Six months after Mazepa's death, on April 5, 1710, in Tighina, Pylyp Orlyk was elected as the new hetman in exile.

Pavel Polubotok was seen by many as a possible replacement for the disgraced Hetman, but the Russian Tsar Peter the Great distrusted Polubotok and supported Ivan Skoropadsky, who became the next Hetman. Nonetheless, Polubotok's loyalty was rewarded when wealthy estates throughout Ukraine were given to him.

After the collapse of the Russian Empire, Pavel Skoropadsky – a brilliant general and aide-de-camp of the last Russian emperor – suddenly remembered his roots and founded the Cossack Hetmanate on the territory of modern Ukraine, going down in history as one of the symbols of the country's independence.

Pavlo Skoropadsky, the future hetman of Ukraine, was born in 1873 into an aristocratic Ukrainian family that was descended from Hetman Ivan Skoropadsky. The boy’s future was immediately and forever decided when his parents resolved that he would devote his life to military service.

The hetmans Ivan Vyhovsky, Petro Doroshenko, and Ivan Mazepa tried to solve this problem by trying to separate Ukraine from Russia. After their failures later hetmans, such as Danylo Apostol, Ivan Skoropadsky and Pavlo Polubotok, although they did not advocate an open break with Russia, stubbornly defended the autonomy of Ukraine.

Ivan Skoropadsky (Ukrainian ) (1646 3 July 1722) was a Ukrainian Hetman of Zaporizhian Host, and the successor to the famous Hetman Ivan Mazepa. Born into a noble Cossack family in Uman, Ukraine in 1646, Skoropadsky was educated in KyivMohyla Academy.
