Cossacks are members of self-governing men's military communities that existed from the 15th century on the territory of the Ukrainian "Wild Field", in the region of the middle reaches of the Dnieper and Don, on the brink of the Christian and Muslim worlds. The main occupation of the Cossacks was a military affair: the guarding and patrolling of trade routes, sea raids on seagus against the Turkish fleet in the Crimea and the Black Sea, the protection of Ukrainian lands from Tatar "hunting for slaves", participation in military campaigns of neighboring rulers and protection of the borders of neighboring states.

Zaporozhian Cossack army was formed in the middle of the 16th century in the middle reaches of the Dnieper, in the virgin territory of Zaporozhye, located on the borders of the Commonwealth, the Crimean Khanate and the Moscow kingdom. The basis of the army were Russian nobles and burghers. The center of the Cossacks was the Dnieper Fortress - Sich, whose prototype was the fortification built by Volyn prince Dmitry-Bade Vyshnevetsky on the island of Malaya Khortytsia in 1553.
