Question

What was Baturin?

a. name of the battle where Peter was first defeated
b. name of the Cossack who betrayed Peter
c. Cossack stronghold destroyed by Peter
d. King of Poland

Answer 1

Baturin was a Cossack stronghold destroyed by Peter the Great, not related to any battle, individual, or Polish monarchy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Baturin was a Cossack stronghold that was destroyed by Peter the Great. It was not the name of a battle where Peter was first defeated, nor the name of a Cossack who betrayed him, nor the King of Poland. Baturin held significant strategic and symbolic importance for the Cossacks, and its destruction by Peter's forces was a notable event in his efforts to consolidate power and suppress Cossack revolts. This historical event should not be confused with the affectionate title of 'Batiushka Tsar' associated with Peter the Great, nor with the later city of St. Petersburg which was named in honor of the apostle Peter, not Peter the Great, and became a cultural and economic center in Russia.
