Ichnia Regiment
The Ichnia Regiment (Ukrainian: Ічнянський полк, romanized: Ichnianskyi polk) was one of the territorial-administrative subdivisions of the Cossack Hetmanate. The regiment's capital was the city of Ichnia, now in Chernihiv Oblast of northern Ukraine.[1]
Regiment was raised by colonel Petro Holovatskyi in and around the town of Ichnia in January 1648,[2] during Khmelnytsky Uprising.[3] Shortly after Treaty of Zboriv, in October 1649, the regiment was disbanded. The regiment was reduced to 2 sotnias which were then transferred to Pryluky Regiment.
