Zakhary Chepega. Zakhari Chepiga Vidomi, famous states and large children of Kuban (Krasnodar Territory) In the Russian Imperial Army

On the Cob of Linden 1788 M. G. A. Potomkin saw the decree about the appointment of the new otaman: “For the courage and the retirement to order and for the bazhans of the old Cossacks, the otaman koshov Khariton (tobto Zakhariy) Chepega. I am stupid about everything, I am instructing you to honor and reproach with the proper rank. " As a sign of the povaga, the field marshal gave Chepegi the road to the shabl.

Saving a lot of documents, in the main warrants and leaflets, knitted with Zakhar Oleksiyovich, ale ni on one of them is not an easy autograph: koshovy otaman of the Chornomorsk goat viyyska. The signatures on the paperwork are given by the authorization of the officer. It’s just that the fact that Chepega’s own sister, Darina Bula, was substituted for Krypak Kulish, who belonged to the assistant of Poltava province, Major Levents, and three of the blue one of them, Єvstafiy Kulish, almost an hour from Turkey to the Zaporozhian people, having added the rank of lieutenant there “through the occasional visit”, having become friends and not wanting to move to Kuban, having lost all the life of the city.

In Sichi vin mav the reputation of a well-known and good warrior, commanding a book, taking part in all the most important battles. When the izmaila was taken, A. V. Suvorov entrusted him to lead one of the assault columns to the fort. For the heroic deeds of Chepega, he was awarded three orders and the rank of brigadier. Alle not only in the cities, it was meant to be a warrior: the fortune-tellers more than once ordered the Zaporozhian people. Well, here we can give the floor to the hero of our decision: in the archives, a leaf of Chepega was saved to the vice-judge Anton Golovaty, with whom friendship was tied by the schira. The whole list was written 19 chervnya 1789 r at once during the hot battle with the Turks near Bendery, for the yake, before the speech, the Chornomorets, as they joined the Don Cossacks at once, were honored with the help of M.I. Kutuzov.

Razpovidayuchi about the enemy's losses, the flooded Turkish ensigns and plunks, Chepega dal write: “All of us were wounded in the death of one lump, the horses were wounded in the vibutta 6; When I got there, the cool one struck my right shoulder right edge, and it’s unlikely that it’s coming soon, it’s even more important. The grief of the old orphan ... and we cannot recognize the living, but only if it’s so, we’ll endure, but pray to God, and be humble to him, don’t let him be a friend and intercessor, bachachi our justice ... forgive me, love brother, friends and comrades, because I, having encouraged you at all your enterprises of good fortune, I am going to spend time with you ... "

Chapegi lay in ten rockets, and the head went in its activity, from the point of view and modernity and sites, є, madly, submitted by Yekate-Rinodar and the first Kuban villages.

He went to the Kuban Chepega with a wagon train, trimmed by land, in the end of 1792, having arrived at the river Uї, de wintered in the so-called Khan's place at the Uysky Kosі. If the bighead is in a state of mind, when he looks over at his hometowns, he has been overwhelmed with grants, the land is "good enough" for agriculture and cattle-breeding, for health, and for catching ...

Amazingly, the riches of the new land of the boule, according to the merit, were not only appreciated by the Cossacks, who were mali and protect the land, ala and іkh Kerch, St. Petersburg and іn bosses, great and malim. Chepegi's warrant to Colonel Savi Bilom in Taman, September 29, 1793:

“... the Lord's Excellency Major General of the Tavrian Governor and Cavalier Semyon Semyonovich Zhegulin needs a chervon svizha riba і freshly salted іkra, and I recommend that your highest honor to the authority of the superiority of the yoghurt to the prosecutor captain Peter Opanasovich Pashovkin, the secretary of the college protocol Danil Andriyovich Karev and to the entire provincial office ... "

10 May 1793 r Chepega, having played with the Cossacks to the river Kuban for annexing the Cordon cordons, and 9 worms with a camp in the Karasunskiy kut, de "I know a little bit of a fortune ..." place and oversight of the land, vipisun budivelnikov, the sign of the mayor ... Sheds 1794 r, with the unequal participation of the otaman, a foal of land was carried out for the

Already in 1794 r Chepega filled up the "newly built" Vyskovy city, following the order of Katerina II with two regiments in the so-called Polish hustle. On the way to Petersburg, you can ask to the tsar's table, and the tsarina herself invites the old war with grapes and peaches. For the fate of the Polish campaign goat otaman viroblyayut in general. Tse bula yogo rest of the campaign. Through the rik of turning to the Kuban on 14 June 1797 from the old wounds and the "knee of the lung" Zakhar Chepega died in Ekaterinoda, in his hut, incubated in an oak tree over Karasun.

The funeral of him was seen on 16 September. In the funeral cart, harnessed with a thunderbolt of black churches, the supernumerary churches of the Otamani and the foremen, the chin and the Cossacks, were shot from the towel and the three-pound churches of the leather once, if the churches were killed. , and twelve volleys of the rich moon swept over the place. , and in front of them - the Otaman's mace ... Chepega bursting with praise from the Vyskovy fortress "in the middle of the mission designated for the Cathedral of the Vyskovy church."

The description of his funeral was put together by the clerk Timofiy Kotlyarevsky for Anton Holovaty, who was at that hour beyond the borders of the edge, on a Persian campaign, and a copy of the document was left in the archive. Ninety years later, the archivarius of Varenik added the arkusha tsikaviy to the zorotny bik, in which the arkusha tsikaviy was written (for maybut generations?). p and rose in 1876, the boules saw graves, according to the attributes of their names of the victims of Chepega, Kotlyarevsky, Vyysky archpriest Roman Porokhni, Colonel Oleksiy Visochin, as well as what was transferred to a woman, for a new warden, a friend of the head ... (I trumped for Chepega by sacrificing Varenik himself) and I was overwhelmed by the refectory of the church, so I will be. During the ceremony, having spoken the Viy's choir and the attendant punishment otaman Ya.D. Malam ... So what do we see about Chepegi?

Oskilky old otaman "die uncomfortable, and already childless", historians, as if they were not tamed by sites. Gilka of his kind by the line of sister Darina Kulish was ruined here in Ukraine. Most importantly, the children of Yevstafiya's nephew, Ivan and Ulyan, "appropriated" Chepeg's name to their own names, and at the same time pretended to decline. The youngest nephew of Uvtikhiy, the brother of Chepega Miron, wearing the Otaman's nickname by right, as if, having lost his father early, had little time to be taken by Zakhar Chepegi and spent the whole hour with him. Before his death, the Otaman, without bachuing to consume the robot, gave a spiritual commandment, and passed the keys and "deyaki papery" to him, and all the while talking about it in one place ... from Mirgorod, the famous sacristy and library of the Kiev-Mezhigirsky monastery, which lay on the Zaporizkyi vіysk. Utykhiy died in 1806, in the number of the lane described in his booth, boules and shablis, which belonged to the deceased otaman.

History did not preserve the portrait of Chepega. Behind the words of P. P. Korolenko, who wrote in the end of the last century a lot of perekaziv, felt like old-timers, vin buv "low growth, with wide shoulders, great forelock and vusami" and vzagal buv "type of suvorogo zaporozhets."

Rozpovidayut, come once to Chepega painting. "Your Excellency, I think I’m a partner for you." Chepega: "What about a painter?" Answer: "Painter." - So the little gods, and I am general, I do not want to paint ... "

There is a version about those that Z. Chepiga resemble from the old Cossack family of Kulishiv. Aleksandrs of the Sovereign Archive of Krasnodar Territory, who were ready to see the biography of the left, made a document to tell about those who were Z. Chepiga's own sister, Darina Bula, who was in charge of the Polish Kulish, who was in Recently, a version about the Albanian campaign of Z. Chepiga was announced, but a change would be required. Oviti without otrimav.

At the time of 24 years (1750) Chepega arrived to Zaporizhzhia. In 1769, the fate of the wine was identified in the battle of the Turks on the Dniester. The first hour of the Russian-Turkish war of the Cossack flotilla on the Danube took care of the capture of the important fortress Kylya, the Tulcea castle and fortress Isakcha.

The crews will allow the Cossack Flotilla to take on the entire hundred frigate Turkish fleet, defending the taxation from the side of the Danube, going to the bottom.

For the hour of the liquidation of the Zaporizka Sichi (1775) Zakhary Chepiga became colonel of the Protovchansky palanca. At the Manifesta from the name of Katerini II, they said that the Sich will be born forever, as the very name of the Zaporizky Cossacks, for their zukhvali vchinki and defiance of the royal decrees.

Without knowing Chepega's letters, they signed the paper for a new one.

Having risen to the rise in the price of the empress on the day of Russia (1787 r), not without the middle of the prince Potomkin, the consigned foreman Sidir Biliy, Anton Golovaty and those who saw it in the metropolitan area of ​​Kremenchucy in the past Prohannya bulo is accepted. The Zaporozhians took a new name - "Vіysko vіrnykh kozaks" (in vіdminu we see "nevіrnykh", they went to the Danube in Turechchina).

Katerina II gave "to the virgin cossacks" a great bile prapor with a black eagle and wrote "For courage and virtue", a little prank for kureniv, an otaman mace, a little pity for a friend and a seal with the writing "Druk kosha vіrnist"

Sidor Biliy became the otaman of the newly created Vіyska Vіrnih Kozaks, the commander of the book - Zakharіy Chepіga. By a decree of the court from the 5th day of 1788, it was brought up to the out-of-town house, that "Pan Colonel Sidir Biliy was named as the Otaman of the Old Cossacks and that he was the one who got his own kid on the Zburger. on the Zbur'yivske side, and the book at the Colonel of the Army Seconds-Major Zakhary Chepig on Gromokley. "

Before the hour of another Russian-Turkish war, the Vyrna Cossacks themselves with a new assault on the island of Hadzhibeum (the castle roztashovavsya on the island of Odessa), dashing attack drowned the islands of Berezan.

Z 1790 r Dunaiska cossack flotilla did not allow the Turks to the Danube. From the izmaileom, hanging from the side of the Danube, the Cossacks escaped to the fort in the most unsuccessful place.

In commemoration of the change of Vіysko vіrnіh kozaks became Chornomorskiy.

Having renounced the title of the Great Hetman of the Chornomorsk and Katerinoslav Cossack Vijska from the Tsaritsa, Grigoriy Potomkin affirmed A. Holovaty in the township of the Cossacks Vijskoy Judges. Vіysku Potomkіn allowing to settle in the Pіvdenniy Bug and Dnіstr, and before that G.A.

3 limes will come back 230 rocky every day I will enter the landing of the kosh otaman Vіyska vіrnykh Kozaks of the Chornomorsk Zakhariya Chepegi. The resettlement of brave lads to the Kuban and the subdivision of Yekaterinodar was tied to the tsim іm'yam. "Komsomolskaya Pravda" prepared 10 facts about the first Otaman.

1. Zakhary Chepega - one of the most mysterious articles of the Kuban Cossack at the same hour. Little, hto know, that Chepega is not for the sake of justification of the otaman, but rather prisvishly, as it was in Zaporizhzhi. And it means "the handle for the plow", to that the precursors say - Zakharii is a representative of a noble family.

Before the speech, the rich Cossacks called Zakhariya - Kharko Chepega. There are no pardons here, just in Zaporizkiy Sichi Vin buv vidomiy pid im'yam Khariton.

2. After the death of Sidor Bily in 1788, the Rotsi Cossacks turned their beloved, Kharko Chepegi, into a koshov otaman. The order of vibrations is todi buv simple - voting at the gathering. And the old Cossacks, as they themselves were pricked by the possession of the foremen, drove the dry up to the brood and bit the head of a similar kosh otaman with it. As soon as the ritual was passed, the decision came into force.

3. Saving a lot of documents, tied with Zakhar, ale ni on one of them do not know your autograph. Koshovy Otaman of the Chornomorskiy Kozach Vіyska Buv unwritten. The signatures on the paperwork are given by the authorization of the officer.

4. April 17, 1790 Prince GA Potomkin, signs of nezadovgo to tsiogo “Great hetman. The Imperial Cossack Vies of the Chornomorsk and the Katerinoslavs ”, having presented the shabla to Zakhary Chepegi. Follow the priceless gift, sorry, the bulo has been consumed.

However, historians have a share of the іnshoї shablі - "tsarskoy". In the middle of the sickle of 1792 Anton Golovaty turned from Petersburg, asking Katerina II for land on Taman and Kuban "at the end of the day." Having arrived in Katerinodar not with empty hands - Chepegi was handed over "the chablu with expensive stones", presented to Katerina II. Dovgy hour of a gift from Zakhariya took a budinka. However, after death, behind the words of the historians, all of the Otaman passed down to his nephew Avtikhia Chepega and his wandering little girl, in her own behavior to navigate the posture of Chornomorya. Everything that Chepegi has taken has gone for a walk and drank ... ". It is possible, at the end of the hour, the ball is consumed and the chablya, given by the Potomkin.

5. Mіsce pіd vіyskovy grad - Katerinodar - was taken by the Otaman Chepegi himself and not vipadkovo. The discovery of the forest, the average growth of the distance to the lance of cordons and ideal land for the development of changes. Bulo і dnesenne mіstse, with good glimpse of the float of the Kuban, and because of all the zaporіzky rules, it is possible to set up a change. The presenters say that Chepega is going to return to the Kuban once again. Sich.

6. Chepega's Bula has a simple and unpretentious life of a Cossack, not a lot of money, but honestly.

7. Yakos Yekaterinodar artist proponuvav Chepegi namalyuvati yogo, he lost his memory on the sites. Ale Otaman immediately came up with a sense of honor, shortly meaning: "Only the gods are painted."

8. All his life Chepega became a bachelor - "sire". On the right-hand sides of the Kuban Vіyskiy archіv, the black leaf of the koshovoy was preserved as if to the well-known generals, who proponuvat otamanovy his daughter in the nominated. Varto say, a friend in uniform was absolutely not taken care of by the child - Zakhariy buv is already an old Zaporozhian, and the daughter of the general youmu would have been good for her granddaughter. Protest, old Cossack, if you have seen it once and look at the boat, you should assign yourself a liar, for the cossacks' understandings, to take in the fight with the enemies, you know, how to see it.

Recommend me donka in the name. Dyakuyu you. Let her be healthy and for many years, - go to the sheets, and then Chepega jumped to the topic. - Skoda, sho s Poland came that and dosi NOT awaited ... if you want to take the Pole, so no Bulo was taken in old age. I don’t know, yak will be there (the author’s style is saved - Ed.).

9. On the very ear of 1797, Zakhariy Chepega got sick "stabbing the lung" (pneumonia - Auth.). And on the 14th, in a modest hut, prompted in an oak guy, Karasun died above the river. On the 16th, the Otaman of the Church of the Yekaterinodar Fortress "in the middle of the city, designated for the Cathedral of the Vyskovy Church".

The Otaman's trunus was carried on a cart, harnessed by a train of black knives, the cat was offended on the sides in front of six elders from the lit candles, they carried a kryshka in front of them, with a cross-like pattern, given to them by the princes of the II Prince Katherine ... The handrail was led by two beloved riding horses of Chepegi, and they carried them over the hills on cushions from a thin green cloth. All of the vіyskovі regalia supravlyuvali koshovoy in the end of the journey ... Twelve times the process was completed, and twelve times in the vіyskovy priest reading the Evangelin, because of whom the goats fired from their harms, or

10. In 1930, the whole church of the Resurrection on the square of Peremogi (nini vulytsia Postovaya) was built. We will trample the priest of the place viyavilos for a lot of ten years.

Infection on the church and the grave of Chepega there is a square of the Children's Regional Clinical School.

The history of my little Batkivshchyna, Kuban, even more than a lot of miraculous people who worked. I know about the price of history for me to supplement the subject "Kubanovedenie", the ancestors of our regional history museum, the Leningradsky village, the regional newspaper "Kubansky novogo" ... Soon we will see the 70th decision of the Krasnodar Territory and the 215th development of the Kuban lands by the Cossacks. Istorik A.V. Kartashov wrote, that on the winter shores of the Chornomoria wandered and rosy "crumbling people", and only Cossacks-Zaporozhtsy became a soil habitat of the blessed land.

Hear, on the sites, that glory and trim your heart from the Kuban, as if it were our land. I am guilty of loving, defending all the enemies and die for her, as a day dies without a dream, so darkness should come, and it is evening, and in the evening, nothing will come ...

Love to my Kuban, to the last, to the miraculous people, as there were some turns in the approval of our Krasnodar Territory, the city of Ekaterinodar (Krasnodar), like a magnet, drew my heart to itself.

Inhabitants of Kuban, the Cossack in a whole rotsi mean the 280th anniversary of their famous fellow countryman, whose name has gone into the glorious history of the Kuban Cossack Zakhar Oleksiyovich Chepega.

Who is this Chepiga Zakhary Oleksiyovich (in Chepiga's dzherels)? Vin was born in 1726 in the Chernigiv province in the village of Birki, resembling from the old-time family of Kulish and his reference note having cut off in 1750 rotsi, since an ordinary Cossack came to Zaporizka with. Yogo was accepted.

Young Cossack buv attributions to Kislyakovskiy kuren. History has saved us a description of its zeal. Vin buv of low growth, broad-shouldered, siliceous, which is called "zbity", with a majestic black forelock and tovstymi is extended by vuss. The whole life before the turn of the Sich Zaporizka is for the pre-old ones to see the old hour, if the archives are more important, now they are more likely to be unaware. Even more small-scale views took care of the young rocks of Chepegi in the homeland of Ya.G. Kukharenko, who was brought up by a distant relative. The Chepegi were called Khariton among the Cossacks or, more simply, Kharko.

The service of the young Chepega went off successfully, and I wish I couldn’t be volodya in my gratitude, they were in charge of the natural state of affairs and special goodness in 1767, having chosen the headquarters of the head of the cordon’s department at the Pereveskaya palanka (region), the land of the Ukrainian Dnieper region. Behind the throngs of suchasnikiv, Chepega will be good people, I want and will be pan in the position. Yogo broad-shouldered і undersized figur with a special, fry steppe vіtra, zavzhdi Bula suvor. And in Sichi, and a lot of rocky in the past to find a general's rank, Chepega became forgiven and accessible, so for all the cossacks of the buv simply "Kharko". Yakshho vіyskovy judging Anton Golovaty buv at the main reason, that everyone was afraid, then the Chepegi were squeezed, and those who the Cossacks called yak bi familiarly, for the sake of bulo viraz the closeness and spiritual vision.

In one certificate, given to Chepegi, it was said that “he stood up for a husband,” in the other - that he was “brave enough to be brave and often forcefully bringing a divine move”. Chepega, having risen to the rank of colonel, if, by order of the Empress Kateryna Drugoya, Zaporizka Sich was rosorena. Five thousand Zaporozhtsy went to Turechchina, koshovy otaman Petro Kalnishevsky was sent to the Solovetsky Monastery, ordinary Cossacks were allowed to take a plow.

Thirteen years later in 1787, for the cares of the well-known prince G.A. Potomkina, like a zrazum, like a fighting force, rocked Russia in the individual of the Cossacks, the surplus of the Zaporozhians once again picked up and made "vіysko vіrnykh Kozaks". On the clicks of the Vіyskovy Radі there were more voices in the sound of the Koshovy Otaman Sidor Bіliy. Dali I know, what the Kuban historian I.D. Ass writes about the new one like this: "Older old man, a little bit of fire, the patron of old sichovyh hours, mav the little one to see a perestroika without a hat and from the displayed name of his hard-pressed breasts." 17 worm 1788 to the rock of Biliy bov wounded in Ochakov. A.V. Suvorov, who had seen the wounded otaman on the first day, writing to Prince Potomkin: “Tea, Sidor Gnatovich will be alive,” the ale wound appeared fatal and on the third day, 19 worms otaman died. Suvorov donated about Potomkin and at the bottom attributed a row: "For joy - sadness: Sidor Gnatovich has seen the rest of the shan ..."

I know as a joke: I read, hum, nourish ... and I know the axis, that I am an otaman, after S. Bily's death, turned into the favorite of the Cossacks - Kharko Chepegi. I have set the vibration order even less. For the old hours, they won’t be simple - to the voices, at the gathering, for whatever reason, they stood close by with the old settlers, they themselves were shot by the commanding foremen, they gathered for a while for the rest of the time, and put something on their bare head. Brood flowed on the guise and vusah of the "clear-noble", but the whole world was booming, everything is about - ashes and tlіn, besides the liberties of anybody who is not overwhelmed and who is not submissive to Zaporizky! .. Pislya hardened plant of G.A. Potomkin gave Chepegi the road to Shabl, with a new Otaman for the year and arrived in the Kuban.

How did the podії dalі develop? I know it as a joke. Institution of 1788 rіk. Potomkin, bazhayuchi went to the Ochakivsky garnizon to deliver food from the fortress Hajibey (in the first dzherels - Hajibey), made a hundred Kozaks for the team of the Turkish captain Bulatov, went to the shops. Ale kozatska a hundred appeared without the power of a viconati order. Todi 29 zhovtnya voiced Chepega. From a number of cossacks, under the cover of a black winter night, we made our way to Khadzhibey, and the coastal tseikhhauz ignited. And 7 leaf fall in the very fortress of Chepega fired a comor with food. "Yak vin winking zrobiti tse - one God sees, .." - respect the Kuban historian І.D. Ass. For tsei feat vin buv honored with the Order of St. George of the IV degree. I follow the podіas and I know that on the terrain of the Otaman Z.A. Chepega showing himself a great humanity and a kind heart. Husband and unfamiliar in battle, win in with an important wounded Bendery (the musket cooler nibbled on him in the right shoulder, as if he were even harder) gained cold-bloodedness. Naskryzna kulova wound nadovgo bowed yogo in lіzhko. And when I was awakened, I knew the battle horse and I knew in the battles ...

And the axis of the islands of Berezan ... (Berezan is a skeletal island with a size of 800 by 400 m. Navproti rivulets Berezan near Dniprovsko - Buzky estuary, for example in the 18th century. originated in the Kuban, with the names of Berezansky). I know that Prince Potomkin is ready to take it. Berezan is a terrible road to Ochakov. Potomkin is proud of bad luck. Win in rozpachi, hovaa see people, wallowing on the kilims at his own obnoxious intention, grize nigty, “faint-hearted” and raptom zgadu about dashing Zaporozhtsy.

Gortayu side of newspapers, pіdruchnikіv. I whisper about them, about the life of a kosh otaman. I know the first axis ... I read with interest ... Izmail ... Fortune is unapproachable ... .) On the 11th chest in 1790 Suvorov announced the assault. The great commander instructed Chepegi to lead the assault column to the Turkish fortress, who will push the other. І in the whole dreamy battle the Otaman showed miracles of courage. For her husband's life, she was presented with the Order of St. George, 3rd class, and a golden izmailsky chrest. The Zaporizka Cossacks deserve to be thanked for their father from Suvorov, which was a great honor for them.

Zakhar (Kharko abo Khariton) Oleksiyovich Chepega(1725 - 14 chest 1797, Katerinodar) - another (written by Sidor Bily) goat otaman of the Chornomorsk goat viyisk, major general of the Russian army, an active participant in the Russian-Turkish war in the other half of the 18th century

biography

The exact date and the moment of the people are unavoidable. There is a version about the prodigality of the "zі noble family of Kulishіv". Vvazhayut, having arrived at Sich in 1750, if he signed up for the service as a Cossack in the Kislyakivsky kuren. In 1767, rotsi vin ocholyuvav guard cordon at the Perevizka palanqui. The Russian-Turkish war of 1768-1774 took part in campaigns, parties, roses. Do not read or write until death.

At the time of the liquidation of Sichi in 1775, I am going to embrace colonel Protovchanskoy palanca (Ukrainian Protovchanska palanka). In 1777, lieutenant-general prince Prozorovsky was in escort. On the 29th of that day, you were given the rank of captain of the army.

In 1787, the patroness of the holy prince Potomkin will be stricken. It’s the hour of the rise of Katerina the Great to Taurida in the whole city of Potomkin, presenting the empresses of the Cossack elders, including Chepegi. Colossal foremen of the Zaporozhian Sichi asked the Empress to organize the collegiate Zaporozhians in a special vіysko, on the Russian to the service... Such a call was given by the empress and the bulo was approved by "Vіysko vіrnykh kozaks", renamed in "Chornomorska kozatske vіysko".

With a tip of new Russian-Turkish news of news, the cossacks (at the moment of the greatest throatiness there were up to 10,000 people in them) took on their most active fate.

I am naked through everything and skin ... well Pan Captain Zakhary Chepega, Vikoniy being a meritorious jealousy and diligence before Her service imperative magnitude... having presented the bazhannya to take the volunteers and with them they will live in the army, to my bosses. And to that one, I allow you to collect misleading people from great people ...

The payment for Chepegi was deposited 300 rubles for the ryk, which also paid for the paid and first otaman - Sidor Bily. Until May 1788, the number of Chepega's volunteer commanders was close to 300. We were busy with the stench of roses and guarding the cordons. 17 worms of wounds in the sea battle near Ochakovo wounded and 19 worms died the first worm Otaman of the virgin cossacks Sidir Biliy. Yogo became Chepega's offensive. If they wanted, the Cossacks themselves, they turned the otaman I. Sukhin, even after a few days, "the people's stavlenik" buzzed with revenge on Chepega's corny. Chepega himself wrote to A. Golovaty on the 5th anniversary of his fate:

Yogo Svіtlіst ... Prince Grigoriy Oleksandrovych Potomkin-Tavriyskiy, instead of being in the Old Cossacks by Viyskiy Otaman ...

Potomkin wrote about the empress as follows:

I'm at the scene of the most important elder [S. Belogo] having entrusted the ruling of kosh seconds to Major Chepegi ...

The Cossacks-Chornomorets under the command of Chepegi were especially significant when they took Ochakov, the fortified island of Berezan, Hajibey, Akkerman, Bender. In 1790, the Rotsi Cossacks showed no reason for their husbandhood during the assault on the Izma.

In the course of the Turkish campaign, Chepega buv once was importantly injured on the right shoulder and for her being awarded the rank of brigadier of the army, the orders of St. George and St. Volodymyr, Catherine II presented the Otaman with "obsipated with expensive chablu stones".

The idea of ​​moving the Chornomorsk Cossacks to the Kuban was decided on the day of the Russian cordon for protection. Chepega brave my active part in the organization of resettlement, the delivery of Yekaterinodar and the rural settlements.

Having taken the fate of Chepeg and in the strangledness of the Polish insurrection of 1794 to fate. For the storming of the Warsaw-Prague city, they went on the day of the successes of the whole company, having been awarded the Order of St. Volodymyr 2nd class.

Zakhary Chepega is a great pomp. I had a dacha at the Gromoklei tract, in the Kherson region, the village of Lyubarka layed with krypaks, which were allowed to be released, but not so bad; in the Kuban Chepega Volodya "Circassian kutams and lisami" near Yekaterinodar, a majestic farm on the Richtsi Kirpilekh (which meant 14 Kozak-pratsivnikiv), a great garden and vineyard on Taman, Millin Bushin on the river
