The claim that the Kholivashina/Hadamak (Koliivshchyna/haidamak) rebellion occurred in 1768 is directly supported by multiple sources, including Harvard Ukrainian Studies, Britannica, and the Encyclopedia of Ukraine, which date the Koliivshchyna uprising to 1768 in Right-Bank Ukraine.

What was said

… of the 18th century, Ukraine had become part of the Russian Empire after the defeat of Hetman Mazeppa, um, and he fled to, uh, Turkey along with the Swedish king.

What we found

Supports. Harvard Ukrainian Studies states that the last major haidamak uprising, in 1768, became known as the Koliivshchyna, suppressed by Russian forces.[1]

Supports. Britannica describes the Koliivshchyna, the most violent haidamak uprising, as occurring in 1768 and being put down with Russian troops.[2]

Supports. The Encyclopedia of Ukraine describes the Koliivshchyna rebellion as a haidamaka uprising that broke out in Right-Bank Ukraine in May 1768.[3]

Supports. Wikipedia's Haydamak entry identifies the largest of three haidamak uprisings as the Koliyivschyna in 1768, consistent with the other sources.[4]

Context. The claim's spelling 'Kholivashina' is a variant of Koliivshchyna and 'Hadamak' of haidamaka; the passage itself refers to the same 1768 rebellion as the claim does.[1][3]
