The Hetman of all Ukraine (Ukrainian: Гетьман усієї України, romanized: Hetman usiiei Ukrainy)[1][2] was the head of state and commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian State in 1918.

History

The position of Hetman of the Zaporizhian Host, also known as the "Hetman of all Ukraine",[3] was established in 1648 during the Khmelnytsky Uprising and first held by Bohdan Khmelnytsky as the leader of the Cossack Hetmanate. During that period, the office was an elected position. Later in the late 18th century, it was successfully liquidated by the Russian government during the expansion of the Russian territory towards the Black Sea coast.

The position of Hetman of all Ukraine was established in 1918 by

Soviet Russia. During his term, the Communist Party was prohibited on the territory of Ukraine for the first time. After the uprising led by the Directorate of Ukraine, Pavlo Skoropadskyi surrendered the title on 14 December 1918,[1] transferring the state power to the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine and going into exile to Germany
.

After the establishment of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, members of the Skoropadsky family established the Hetmanate movement that sought the recreation of the office with a royal house.
