'''Ivan Briukhovetsky''' ([[Ukrainian]]: Іван Брюховецький) (b ?, d. 18 [[June]] [[1668]]) was a pro-[[Russian]] [[hetman]] of [[Left-Bank Ukraine]].

He was a registered [[kozak]], belonging to the [[Chyhyryn Company]]. He served as [[Bohdan Khmelnytsky]]'s courier and diplomatic emissary. He was elected [[otaman]] (1661–3) of the [[Zaporozhian Sich]], and in [[1633]] he succeeded [[Ivan Vyhovsky]] as [[hetman]].

He was pro [[Russian]], and in an act of treason he signed a treaty, the [[Moscow Articles of 1665]], which placed [[Ukraine]] under direct control of the [[tsar]]. In return, Briukhovetsky acquired the title of [[Boyar]], properties, marriage to [[Prince Vasili Vladimirovich Dolgorukov|Prince Dolgoruky]]'s daughter, and the hatred of his people. Because of his failures as hetman, in 1668 in the city of [[Budyshchi]], a Kozak mob killed him by chaining him to a cannon and beating him to death "as if he were a mad dog."<ref>http://www.ukrweekly.com/Archive/2006/310617.shtml</ref>
