History
In 1362 the lands of the Bratslavshchina were captured by the Grand Duke of Lithuania Olgerd from the Old Russian princes. In the 1460s, the Bratslav province was created on the territorial basis of the Bratslav region, which, after the conclusion of the Union of Lublin, was ceded to Poland . The population of Bratslavshchina actively participated in the liberation uprisings against the Polish occupiers. Among them, it is worth noting the Bratslav-Vinnitsa uprising , Kosinsky , Nalyvayko , Zhmailo , Fedorovich and Pavlyuk uprisings. In 1648, a new administrative unit was set up in the Bratslavshchina liberated from the Polish nobility - the Bratslavsky regiment , whose Cossacks took part in the battles of the Khmelnytsky uprising .
After the conclusion of the Andrusovo truce in 1667, under the terms of which Ukraine was divided between the Russian kingdom and the Commonwealth , the Bratslavshchina, like the whole Right-Bank Ukraine , was ceded to Poland. However, the anti-Polish uprisings did not subside. They were headed by hetman Peter Doroshenko , Colonels Andrei Abazin and Semyon Paliy . The latter was the leader of a major uprising against the Polish gentry. Bratslavshchina suffered greatly from the Crimean Tatar raids and military campaigns of the Turks against the Commonwealth, especially in the second half of the XVII century . In 1712, after the signing of the Prut Peace Treaty, the Bratslav regiment was abolished.
Due to the second partition of Poland in 1793 Bratslavshchina became part of the Russian Empire and its territorial basis was created Bratslav governorship ( Bratslav , Vinnitsa , Gaysinsky , Tulchin , Yampolsky , Mogilev , Makhno, Lipovetsky , Pyatigorsk, Bershad , Litinskii , Khmelnitsky , Skvirsky counties ). In 1796 (1797), after the liquidation of governors in Russia, the territory of the Bratslav region (together with Podolsky governorship) became part of Podolsk (mostly) and Kiev provinces ( Pyatigorsk , Skvirsky, Makhnovsky , Lipovetsky counties; the latter are now Vinnitsa region).
