Petro Bolbochan had a chance to become a Ukrainian Garibaldi, a conqueror and unifier of his native lands, the creator of a Cossack army that all the states of the world would have to reckon with.

It is not known whether Bolbochan prepared himself for this role, but this is exactly what the non-heroic civilian party members, who called themselves the «Supreme Power, were afraid of. They suspected Bolbochan of intending to overthrow them. But the army trusted him immensely.

«Bolbochan was extremely brave, — wrote centurion Borys Monkevych about him. — In most cases, he led the battle personally and was always in the most dangerous places, which caused a rise in spirit among the Cossacks, who were always victorious under his leadership… Everyone believed him extremely, because they knew that he was a model of honesty and order.
