Sirko's Sloboda-Dnieper Campaign

The Sloboda-Dnieper Campaign was organised and carried out by Zaporozhian Cossack rebel leader Ivan Sirko against Tsardom of Russia as part of Left-Bank Uprising, from 4 March to May 1668.

[2] On March 4, 1668, Sirko launched a series of revolts in Merefa, Tsareborisov, Mayatsk, Valki, Chervonyi Kut and Torsk salt lakes.

Romodanovsky reassured Chuhuiv governor that Kharkiv population remained loyal and he should maintain contact with Sytin, while also taking punitive actions on traitors from Cherkasy.

[1] Sirko's entire campaign was aimed at propagandizing Bryukhovetsky, in order to expel the Russians from the region,[7] this propaganda was not successful.

[8] Sirko found support among the population of only small villages and towns, his attempts to move the uprising to really large centers ended in failure.
