  • Of the different branches of Cossacks, the only one that documentably would allow Jews into their society were the Cossacks of Ukraine. When Poland and Lithuania were merged by Polish King Sigismund Augustus into one commonwealth (in Union of Lublin, 1569), the provinces of Volhynia, Podilia, and the rest of Ukraine were separated from Grand Duchy of Lithuania and came under the direct rule of Poland. About that time an island fortress of Khortytsia was established in the river Dnieper, and Cossacks were stationed there for protection against the invasions of the Crimean Tatars. This fortress with its garrison became known as the "Zaporozhian Sich" (meaning "the fortified camp beyond the rapids"). These Cossacks were eventually joined by Ruthenian poor nobility, boyars, foreign mercenaries and townsfolk , runaway serfs, escapees from the Ottoman territories, and adventurers. A town grew around Khortytsia, and many traders (Jews among them) settled there.
