Samuel Samuś
Samuel Ivanovich Samuś (born in 1713) is a military commander of the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, Colonel Bohuslavsky in the years 1688-1713, commander of the Ukrainian Right Bank in 1692-1704, one of the leaders of the anti-Polish Semena Paleja uprising. He came from the neighborhood of Pereyaslav. On October 17, 1702, he smashed the Polish army under Berdychov, and in late October, he captured the Niemir with Braclawski.
In order to unify Ukraine's right-bank to the left bank, he assumed the authority of Ivan Mazepa (left-bank hetman).
The counterattack of the overwhelming Polish forces and the lack of help from Moscow and Mazepy forced Samusia to take refuge in Bohuslaw. In January 1704 he renounced the hetman's dignity. Despite this, he remained a real commander of his troops and continued to fight the Poles on the right bank.
In 1711 he surrendered, like most Cossacks, to the captain Philip Orlik. After the speech of Orlik against Russia, he and his son were taken prisoner during the fighting and he was most likely to be exiled. His fates are unknown. Bibliography
