The Nova Sich (Ukrainian: Нова Січ, lit. 'New Sich') or Pidpilnenska Sich (Підпільненська Січ, 'Underground / Сlandestine Sich') was the administrative and military center of the Zaporozhian Cossacks in 1734–1775, established after the return of the Zaporozhian Host's Lowland Army unto the Russian protectorate as a result of the signing of the Lubny Treaty. The last Zaporozhian Sich settled in the former lands of Davnia or Stara Sich (Ukrainian: Давня or Стара Січ, lit. 'Old Sich', hence the name Nova) and centered on a large peninsula, washed by the Pidpilna River (a tributary of the Dnieper).
