• In Event: Education as a Form of Liberty in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and Ukrainian Hetmanate, 16th-18th Centuries

Abstract

During the period of the Hetmanate (1648-1780s), a stratum of intellectuals emerged—individuals employed by central state institutions. The majority of these intellectuals were graduates of the Kyiv-Mohyla Collegium. Beyond their clerical duties, they played a crucial role in intellectual transfer, contributing as authors of numerous historical texts, compilers of archives and manuscript books with historical content.
