Who was Ostap Dashkevych?
Eustachy Daszkiewicz or Ostap Daszko is considered to be the first recorded leader of a Cossack defense force. However that is debatable due to the fact that there were many others among which is Bohdan Glinski from Severia.
Daszkewicz held a position of starosta in Cherkasy at the early stages of development of cossacks, and is sometimes mistakenly referred to as a hetman. Some sources as well as oral tradition claim that Dashkevych lived past the age of 80, at which age he routed the Tatars at Cherkasy.
