[[Image:Banknote.gif|thumb|right|Khmelnytsky on a 5 Hryvnia Banknote in contemporary Ukraine]]
In [[Ukraine]], Khmelnytsky is viewed as a national hero. He appears on the five [[Hryvnia]] banknote, and a city is named after him. Some Ukrainians are critical of his decision to ally himself with [[Russia]], knowing the disastrous effects that this had on Ukraine. Others say that he did what he thought was best for Ukraine at the time. In [[Poland]], Khmelnytsky is viewed as a villain. Many blame him for Poland's weakness following his rebellion and the countries subsequent disappearance via the partitions. Khmelnytsky is also viewed as a villain by the [[Jew]]s. Khmelnytsky and his [[Ukrainian Kozak|Kozaks]] needlessly slaughtered thousands of Jews during their rebellion. The reason for this was [[anti-Semitism]] and the belief that the Jews "exploited" them.
