Abstract
This is a study of the development of the Ukrainian Cossacks, particularly the military activities of Hetman Dmytro Vyshnevetsky. The policy of the High Porte has been described concerning prevention of actions from the side of Ukrainian Cossacks against the High Porte and the Crimean Khanate in the Near-Azov Sea Area. There has been analysed the political situation, which set in the relations between the Ottoman Empire, Muscovite Tsardom and Poland in the second half of the 16th century. The historical circumstances have been considered, that accounted for the strengthening of the significance of the Ukrainian Cossacks factor, as a cultural and social phenomenon in Europe, as well as the actual existence of stable contacts between the Cossacks and peoples of the Northern Caucasus.
