Round 12: Tossup 16

Many graduates of this modern-day country’s Mohyla Academy became itinerant tutors called diak that gained a reputation for singing and beer guzzling. A town in this country hosted negotiations to form the “Republic of Three Nations” through the Treaty of Hadiach (“HOD-yotch”). A group predominantly in this modern-day country coalesced around fortifications called sich (-5[1])(“seech”) built in forest clearings of a region named for its location “beyond the rapids.” Independence for that group predominantly from this modern-day country was sought by their leader Ivan Mazepa. In this modern-day country’s Left Bank, a semi-independent Hetmanate was founded (10[1])after the Khmelnytsky Uprising. For 10 points, name this modern-day country where the Zaporozhian (10[1])Host of Cossacks settled along the Dnieper River. ■END■
