Burial ceremony of an Otaman of the Host by Oleksandr Murashko (1900)

Kish otaman (Ukrainian: Кошовий отаман, romanizedKoshovyi otaman; also known as Koshovyi of the Zaporizhian Host) was a chief officer of the Kish (central body of government) of the Zaporozhian Host in the 16th through 18th centuries.

Overview[edit]

The otaman was elected by a council of elder officers (the starshyna) of the Zaporozhian Host.[1] The position contained the highest military, administrative and judicial powers. Until the establishment of the Cossack Hetmanate, the title was interchangeably used with Hetman. During military campaigns, powers of an otaman were virtually unrestricted, but in peacetime he addressed the most important military and political issues to the starshyna and other military councils. A Kish otaman was elected for a term of one year and in exceptional cases was reelected. Upon expiration of his term amounted to report on his activities to a military council. The Kish otaman that was not re-elected, returned to his assigned kurin.[2]

Duties[edit]

In 1723, this rank was depreciated with the nomination of an nakaznyi otaman (Ukrainian: Наказний отаман, 'appointed' or 'acting otaman') by the Tsar of Russia. Among most famous Kish otamans were Ivan Pidkova, Ivan Sirko, Petro Kalnyshevsky. There were at least 30 Kish otamans in the history of Zaporizhian Sich before its collapse in 1775. Nothing is known about the Kish otamans of Tomak Sich, Bezlavuk Sich, and Mykytyn Rih Sich. The longest standing Sich was the Chortomlyk Sich of which most of information has survived. After the defeat at the Battle of Poltava and the Sich raid Kost Hordiienko transferred the Sich downstream along Dnieper to the old settlement of Oleshky in 1709, which was part of Ottoman Empire. It took some 25 years before the Russian government allowed for Cossacks to return to re-establish the New Sich by Ivan Malashevych. With the destruction of Sich in 1775 Zaporizhian Cossacks have moved to Danube Delta.
