- scoured Europe in search of a Soviet agent Philip Orlik and his family.
After the battle of Poltava - Muscovite forces behaved in the Ukrainian lands as conquered country. From their tyranny suffered not only supporters of the hetman, but also civilians.
- extremely difficult test for Ukrainian steel forced channel, construction of fortifications, military "grassroots" campaigns and more. Duzhyh and wealthy peasants often sent to St. Petersburg, Astrakhan, the Caucasus, using cheap labor.

- In 1721, the 10 thousand Cossacks were sent to the construction of the Ladoga Canal, and in 1722 they took the new 10 thousand Cossacks.
- number of those who come from such campaigns, ranged from 30 to 60%, the rest of the Cossacks and peasants died from unbearable living conditions, epidemics, injury, etc..

- After the battle of Poltava, July 17, Skoropadskiy while the Cossack army in the camp under Reshetilovka, appealed to the king of the 14 paragraphs of articles.
- In them he requested to confirm the rights and liberties Hetman and solve many important matters of everyday life.

- As to other matters, the king said that during a campaign under the command of Russian generals have to pass not only simple Cossacks, and even the hetman.
- sit Voivod, Peter testified, in Ukrainian cities, as before, in case they do not interfere Ukrainian, excluding the "state" as "treason" (for "treason" rozumilysya any action that contradict the desire of the king).

- February 8, 1725 Catherine and was released from custody of the Ukrainian officers who were imprisoned along with Polubotko.
Causes Recovery Hetman
- summer of 1727 has increased tension in Russian-Turkish relations. Russia started preparations for another war. The government of Peter II, relying on military assets Cossacks sought to attract to their side Cossack officers.
- was removed and allowed to board the Little Russian elections Hetman.
- Not role in making that decision played a personal interest Menshikov - the person leading the court for a minor Peter II.
- Menshikov hoped in this way to expand the already vast estates in Ukraine.
- a situation, the sole and undisputed candidate to the hetman was Danylo Apostol.
- In elections held October 1 in Deaf and thrown off the ceremony rather oath in 73-year-old Apostle voted unanimously. Contracting articles, as well as from Skoropadskim, was signed.
Thus, its main business Apostle saw the signing of the traditional Russian-Ukrainian agreement.
- To this end, the newly elected Hetman decided to take a trip to St. Petersburg for the coronation of Peter II.
In the Russian capital - Ukrainian hetman put great efforts to rectify the matter: filed written petitions, met with influential dignitaries.
In early March - Danylo Apostol began talks with the president of the Foreign Board of Count Golovkin, gave him a prepared paper. Only in August Hetman received in response to their proposals "Rishytelni points". They had a form of imperial government decree hetman.
"Rishytelni clauses" in 1728
- accordance with the "new contract" hetman pozbavlyavsya negotiate with other countries.
- only allowed to solve the border problems with Poland and the Crimea, but under the supervision of a resident of Russia.
- the military governments were elected by the people of the house, however they are approved by the emperor.

Cancelled - ban Russians to buy land in Ukraine, although it noted that the new landowners have to obey the Ukrainian administration.
New articles - significantly restrict the already curtailed the rights and liberties Ukraine.
- As for Hetman Apostol, the rights granted to him even less than Skoropadsky.
So, "Rishytelni items" were not the bilateral agreement. They had the appearance of order, normative act of supreme power of the Russian Empire. The document was intended to regulate the internal life Hetmanate as part of a single state.
Reform Danylo Apostol
view of the real circumstances Apostle Daniel started to implement reforms aimed at streamlining the internal life of Hetman.
- reforms conducted in the areas of justice, finance, land affairs, trade and so on.

Getman also identified ways of filling the state treasury Hetmanate.
- Changes in legal proceedings related to reforming the courts, the introduction of mandatory documents, reduce to a collection of laws that were used in the Ukrainian judicial system. Regimental courts were divided into two kinds: for business critical and criminal (ie for crimes) and for small cases. Centesimal and rural courts turned into collegiate (shared, common).
- addition, overcoming resistance to the Moscow government, the Apostle resumed Hetman right to appoint general officers and colonels.
- By Hetman Apostol could significantly reduce the number of Russians in the Ukrainian administration. It was limited to six regiments of Russian in Ukraine.
So, Daniel was able to temporarily slow down Apostle conversion process Hetmanate administrative unit in Russian Empire, vtrymavshy, at least for a while, those rights and freedoms that have remained in Ukrainian.

- In 1735 the Russian government has significantly reduced the registry Cossack troops. According to the order, left bank Cossacks were divided by the wealthy - Cossacks elected and impoverished - helpers. impoverished Kazaks who could not support themselves during the campaign, deleted from the registry.
But the heaviest burden - for Ukraine was started by Russia's war against Turkey 1735-1739 biennium, since the Ukrainian population maintained the Russian army and Cossack regiments were directly involved in campaigns.
- Russian military leaders, including Minih, neglect of material resources of Ukraine did not cared, and the fate of the Cossacks, who killed thousands.
- In such circumstances, the Board officials Hetman's government does not care about the advancement of Ukrainian speaking obedient tool of the Russian government.
- situation improved a little Left Bank Ukraine, where Russia went down to the throne of Elizabeth. Daughter of Peter Elizabeth took the imperial throne in November 1741 as a result of the Domestic coup.
- It was not peculiar to a specific charity, and some changes in the position of Ukraine conditioned a number of internal and external political circumstances.
- played a certain role, undoubtedly, Ukrainian environment Empress: her husband was a Ukrainian Alexei Razumovsky. That is why the court of Elizabeth appeared on all Ukrainian fashion: there was a lot of Ukrainian singers and Bandura, submitted to the Domestic banquets Ukrainian dishes etc..
- While the empress in Kiev in 1744 Cossack officers requested to allow elections hetman. Elizabeth did not object, but gave no specific commitments.
Therefore, the case dragged on election Hetman another six years.
