Elected at the insistence of tsar Peter I, who considered him a weaker politician than other members of the Cossack elite, Skoropadsky presided over the Hetmanate during a period when its autonomy was increasingly limited by the Russian government. After his death, control over affairs in Ukraine was transferred to the Collegium of Little Russia.","summary_more":[],"facts":[{"key":"born","label":"Born","values":[{"text":"1646","date":"1646"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1349123#P569"}},{"key":"birthplace","label":"Place of birth","values":[{"text":"Uman","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q208499"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1349123#P19"}},{"key":"died","label":"Died","values":[{"text":"3 July 1722","date":"1722-07-03"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1349123#P570"}},{"key":"deathplace","label":"Place of death","values":[{"text":"Hlukhiv","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q864827"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1349123#P20"}},{"key":"citizenship","label":"Citizenship","values":[{"text":"Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q172107"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1349123#P27"}},{"key":"occupation","label":"Occupation","values":[{"text":"diplomat","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q193391"},{"text":"politician","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q82955"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1349123#P106"}},{"key":"education","label":"Education","values":[{"text":"Kyiv-Mohyla Academy","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3496636"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1349123#P69"}},{"key":"spouse","label":"Spouse","values":[{"text":"Anastasia Markovich","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4422332"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1349123#P26"}},{"key":"positions","label":"Positions held","values":[{"text":"Hetman of Zaporizhian Host","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q16157109"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1349123#P39"}}],"office":null,"sections":[],"cited":[],"cited_from":null,"videos":[],"last_reviewed":null,"organizations":[],"same_as":["https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_Skoropadsky","https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1349123"],"faq":[{"q":"When was Ivan Skoropadsky born?","a":"Ivan Skoropadsky was born on 1646 in Uman."},{"q":"What positions has Ivan Skoropadsky held?","a":"Positions held by Ivan Skoropadsky include: Hetman of Zaporizhian Host."},{"q":"Where did Ivan Skoropadsky study?","a":"Ivan Skoropadsky was educated at Kyiv-Mohyla Academy."}],"related":[{"name":"Ivan Mazepa","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/ivan-mazepa"},{"name":"Bohdan Khmelnytsky","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/bohdan-khmelnytsky"},{"name":"Danylo Apostol","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/danylo-apostol"},{"name":"Taras Fedorovych","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/taras-fedorovych"},{"name":"Petro Doroshenko","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/petro-doroshenko"},{"name":"Ivan Vyhovsky","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/ivan-vyhovsky"}],"places_in":[],"nearby":[],"image":{"url":"https://diginpl.com/kb-img/ivan-skoropadsky-24356e0404.jpg","width":500,"height":590,"license":"Public domain","credit":"Stepan Zemlyukov","page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ivan_Skoropadsky_(Portrait,_1840s,_Stepan_Zemlyukov)_1.jpg"},"sources":[{"label":"Wikipedia (English): Ivan Skoropadsky","url":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_Skoropadsky","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/"},{"label":"Wikidata item Q1349123","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1349123","license":"https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"},{"label":"Image: Ivan Skoropadsky (Portrait, 1840s, Stepan Zemlyukov) 1.jpg by Stepan Zemlyukov (Public domain)","url":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ivan_Skoropadsky_(Portrait,_1840s,_Stepan_Zemlyukov)_1.jpg","license":null}],"license":{"text":"CC BY-SA 4.0","url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/","facts":"https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"},"attribution":"Text from the Wikipedia article Ivan Skoropadsky, licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0.
