Samiilo Velychko Chronicle

The Samiilo Velychko Chronicle, or simply the Velychko Chronicle, is a Ukrainian Cossack chronicle from the first half of the 18th century, written around 1720 by Cossack clerk Samiilo Velychko. It covers events from 1620 to 1700, and contains documents from the General Military Chancellery, as well as quotations from documents and chronicles that are now lost. Together with the Eyewitness Chronicle, the Hrabianka Chronicle and the History of the Ruthenians (Istoriya Rusiv), it forms a complex of Cossack historiography.
