Although it is clearly visible that the Usha was desirable only to a few traitors, and not to all Orthodox Christians, the Poles considered themselves to have the right to introduce it into the Ukraine by force. The UNF, which out of fear, much of it out of self-interest, and others and simply out of ignorance, hung in their tubs, but the vast majority of the Russian people did not want to recognize the union; In towns and villages, brotherhoods appeared under Orthodox churches: parishioners united into societies that did everything possible to protect the Orthodox faith: they helped the people with money, started schools, raised the Orthodox Church in the spirit of the Orthodox faith, wrote and printed books against calculus and unity.
The Catholics, having strength on their side, acted somewhat differently: while helping Catholic churches and Ushat churches, they also did not allow the Orthodox to restore old churches, repair dilapidated ones, or build new ones; for any reason, or even without reason, they destroyed Orthodox churches or turned them into ruins and did not allow the appointment of new priests to replace dead priests. Thanks to these m5rams.

In many places, the Orthodox people were deprived of the opportunity to fulfill spiritual requirements: baptize infants, bury the dead, fast, receive communion, and get married. Moreover, the gentlemen, at the instigation of the priests (Catholic
"priests) for the final desecration and humiliation
Orthodox churches, as well as for their own benefit, they began to rent out the croft estates and Orthodox churches to the Jews: if a child was born to a cotton man, he could not baptize him without paying the Jew the “dudka” fee; if you wanted to marry your son or give your daughter in marriage, then you had to pay a “collection fee”; In general, all perk requirements were paid to the Jewish tenant. If it was not possible to pay, then the child remained unbaptized for several years, it happened that he died without this sacrament, and young people had to come together without a baptism. Even on Holy Easter, with such reverence being prepared for the Holy Feast, the Jew, with his wicked, filthy hand, placed the icon that was paid for its consecration. Despite all the humiliation and persecution of the Orthodox Christian people, the people remained unshakable; The clap, who was brought into the Cossacks by the power and tyranny of the master, brought there a deep heartfelt hatred of everything lordly, Jewish and Lyashsky, since his master had either become a Lyakh. He will sweep in $ with everything he hates he also had the master's faith, i.e. Catholic, and ear, which
I, out of arbitrariness, forcibly imposed it on him.
Thus, the Cossacks, and of them especially the Cossacks, not feeling the lord’s power over them, could and did become the main and almost unified national defenders of the Orthodox faith and Russian nationalities.
Heavy slavery, the impudence and arbitrariness of the lords, the predation of the Jewish tenants, the restriction of the Cossacks by the festival, and most importantly, the persecution of Orthodoxy by the Poles forced Ukraine to repeatedly take up arms; The Cossacks, as zealous defenders of Orthodoxy, always became leaders.
Already in 1593 and 1595 there were strong outbreaks of popular discontent, but both rebels, both the first - Kosinsky, and the second - Nalivaiko and Loboda, did not achieve success.
Kosinsyu was killed, and Nalivaiko, having won a great victory over the Poles near the White Church, then fell into their hands: the indignation was suppressed, and the Poles brutally dealt with the rebels, especially their leader: Lem-Nalivaiko.
It is said that while she was in prison, he was strictly not allowed to sleep: he always had two timpani (drummers) with him, who began to beat the kettledrums as soon as Nalivaiko wanted to doze off. There are different stories about his execution: some say that his head was cut off, and then his body was quartered and the severed limbs were put on display and desecrated; according to other stories, he was placed astride a red-hot bull or horse and was roasted on a slow burn until his screams were heard.
