Taras Fedorovych (Template:Lang-uk, Template:Lang-pl) (dates of birth/death unknown) was a prominet leader of the Dnieper Cossacks.
In 1620s he was the Cossack Polkovnyk (Colonel) and in 1629 after pro-Polish Hetman Mykhailo Doroshenko was killed in the Crimean campaign, the non-registered Cossacks elected Fedorovych into Hetmanship and he led the Cossacks into a next Crimean campaign. In 1630 Fedorovych became the leader of Cossack and peasant uprising against Poland ignited by ever increasing enserfement and exploitation of Ukrainian peasantry by szlachta (nobility) as well as the Polish enroachment of Catholicism on the unwilling Ukrainians who were traditionally Eastern Orthodox.
The rebels defeated a large army led by Stanisław Koniecpolski which was sent by Poland to quash the uprising in the battles at Korsun and Pereiaslav. Fedorovych's successes forced Poland to negotiate with the Cossack leadership and concluding the 1630 Treaty of Pereiaslav where many of the demands of the non-registered Cossacks and Fedorovych, their leader, where discarded by other Cossack Starshyna. Hetman Stanisław Koniecpolski demanded that Fedorovych should be turned over to Poland for a trial but Cossacks refused; they however replaced Fedorovych as a hetman with Timofiy Orendarenko whose Hetmanship was confirmed by Koniecpolski.
Fedorovych, unhappy with such a turn of events, tried to raise more Cossacks against the Commonwealth but failed. He fought on the Russian side in the Smolensk War against Poland (1632-1634), in the winter of 1634-1635 he yet again tried to convince the Cossacks to turn against the Poles at the Kaniv Counsil but again without success. In 1635 he negotiated with Moscow about resettlement of 700 Cossacks to Russian dominated Sloboda territories, and in 1636 about creating a pro-Russian Cossack regiment; his propositions were discarded by the Russians who did not want to antagonize their relations with the Commownealth after their recently concluded Treaty of Polyanovka.
Details of his later life are unknown.
