Grigory Romodanovsky

Grigory Romodanovsky

Prince Grigory Grigorievich Romodanovsky (Григорий Григорьевич Ромодановский) was a leading Russian general of Tsar Alexis's reign who promoted the Tsar's interests in Ukraine.

Romodanovsky belonged to the Rurikid clan of Romodanovsky. He took part in the Pereyaslav Rada of 1654 and led his Streltsy against the Poles during a war which resulted in the reunification of Russia with Ukraine.

During the 1660s and 1670s, he was instrumental in spreading Muscovite influence in the Cossack Hetmanate, sometimes openly interfering into election of hetmans and promoting the candidates backed up by Moscow.

Romodanovsky was in charge of the Russian army during the Chigirin Campaigns, but his rivalry with a cousin, Prince Vasily Galitzine, stymied his later career. Prince Grigory Romodanovsky was killed by the mob during the Moscow Uprising of 1682.
