The Haidamakas Painting

The haidamakas, also haidamaky or haidamaks (singular haidamaka, Ukrainian: Гайдамаки, Haidamaky) were according to this exonym, known from 1737 as pro-Ukrainian (Cossack) paramilitary bands in the 18th-century Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The haidamak movement comprised mostly local free Cossacks (not members of any Host) and peasantry (kozaky and holota), and rebels. They called themselves Cossacks. Haidamaks waged war mainly against the Polish nobility and collaborationists in right-bank Ukraine, though the movement was not limited to the right bank only, and they participated in Zaporozhian raids on the Cossack szlachta in Left-Bank Ukraine as well. Opposition to the nobility and to Roman Catholics led to the haidamaka rebellions (haidamachchyna). Three major uprisings took place, in 1734, 1750, and the largest – usually referred to as Koliyivschyna in 1768.
