Reasons for the Liquidation of Zaporizhzhya Sich
Zaporizhzhya Sich has been a pillar of Orthodoxy for centuries. Cossacks not only defended their lands from enemy raids, but also actively supported the Orthodox Church, built monasteries, protected priests and monks, and were a reliable force in the fight against the expansion of Catholicism and Islam in Cossack lands.
The Cossacks itself became a symbol of the national identity and strength of our people, and Zaporizhzhya Sich became a center of independence, freedom and the Orthodox faith.
Catherine II, the reigning empress of the Russian Empire, aimed at the complete subjugation and integration of the Cossack lands into the empire. Cossack freedom and self-government became a serious threat to it.
