Grigory Romodanovsky

Grigory Grigoryevich Romodanovsky (Russian: Григорий Григорьевич Ромодановский) was a controversial figure of the Russian foreign policy as a member of the Razryadny Prikase, playing a key role in pursuing leaders of the Ukrainian Cossack officers into the union with the Muscovy state.

He took part in the Pereyaslav Rada of 1654[1] and led his Streltsy against the Poles during Russo-Polish War (1654–1667).

In 1659 while assisting the Prince Alexei Trubetskoi in his expedition against Ivan Vyhovsky suffered notable defeat at the battle of Konotop after number of easy victories in the same region.

In 1670 along with Cossacks of Demian Mnohohrishny successfully defended against insurgents of Stepan Razin.

[citation needed] Romodanovsky was in charge of the Russian army during the Russo-Turkish War (1676–1681), but his rivalry with a cousin, Prince Vasily Galitzine, stymied his later career.
