The '''Haidamaky''' ([[Ukrainian]]: Гайдамаки, singular haidamaka) were groups of rebels who rose up spontaneously against the [[Poland|Poles]] in right-bank [[Ukraine]] during the eighteenth century. The word comes from the [[Turkish]] ''hajdemak'', meaning ‘to pursue’. It is similar to the Balkan term "hajduk".
The love that we came to know
Haidamakas were mostly peasants, and [[Ukrainian Kozak|Kozaks]]. They formed bands under the leadership of chieftains who collaborated to organize large-scale rebellions known as the haidamaka uprisings against the Polish nobility. The earliest records of the haidamakas comes from the year 1708, however there were three major rebellions, 1734, 1750, and the largest in 1768.
The Haidamaka rebellions or ''haidamachchyna'', were put down brutally and generally swiftly, mostly due to lack of organization. Haidamaky are viewed as villains in [[Poland|Polish]] history, but are viewed positively as heroes in [[Ukraine]]. They are recorded in [[Taras Shevchenko]]'s poem ''Haidamaky'' (1841).
Haydamaky is also a [[Ukrainian]] [[music]] group. According to their website:
<blockquote>The Haydamaky are the present-day disciples of the Ukrainian cult of tradition. Through their spiritual and musical integrity, they are committed to the cause of taking back their culture from out of the hands of corrupt, immoral mentality.<ref>http://www.haydamaky.com/eng/history/index.htm</ref></blockquote>
