Summary/Abstract: The subject of the analysis are attempts to organize territorial self-defence force undertaken by the dietines of Kiev, Bracłav, and Chernihów palatinates in 1649– 1650. The nobility of the Ukrainian palatinates engulfed by the Cossack uprising, took shelter in the territory of Volhynia, Ruthenia, and the Lublin region. They hoped, however, that after a ceasefire with Khmelnytsky they would return to Ukraine, and thanks to their own self-defence armed forces they would be able to restore order and peace.
