Editing Bohdan Khmelnytsky (section)

===Polish assessment===
Khmelnytsky's role in the history of the Polish State has been viewed mostly in a negative light. The rebellion of 1648 proved to be the end of the [[Golden Age]] of the [[Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth|Commonwealth]] and the beginning of its demise. Although it survived the rebellion and the following war, within less than two hundred years it was divided amongst [[Russian Empire|Russia]], [[Kingdom of Prussia|Prussia]], and [[Habsburg monarchy|Austria]] in the [[partitions of Poland]]. Many Poles blamed Khmelnytsky for the decline of the Commonwealth.<ref>{{cite book|first=Володимир|last=Голобуцький|url=http://litopys.org.ua/holob/hol13.htm|script-title=uk:Запорозьке Козацтво – Розділ XI.

Khmelnytsky has been a subject to several works of fiction in the 19th century Polish literature, but the most notable treatment of him in [[Polish literature]] is found in [[Henryk Sienkiewicz]]'s ''[[With Fire and Sword]]''.<ref name="Glaser2015-110">{{cite book|first=Roman|last=Koropeckyj|chapter=The Image of Bohdan Khmelnytsky in Polish Romanticism and Its Post-Romantic Reflex|editor=Amelia Glaser|title=Stories of Khmelnytsky: Competing Literary Legacies of the 1648 Ukrainian Cossack Uprising|chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=onsxCgAAQBAJ&pg=PA110|date=19 August 2015|publisher=Stanford University Press|isbn=978-0-8047-9382-7|pages=110–111}}</ref> The rather critical portrayal of him by Sienkiewicz has been moderated in the [[With Fire and Sword (film)|1999 movie adaptation]] by [[Jerzy Hoffman]].<ref name="Glaser2015-208">{{cite book|first1=Izabela|last1=Kalinowska|first2=Marta|last2=Kondratyuk|chapter=Khmelnytsky in Motion: The Case of Soviet, Polish, and Ukrainian film|editor=Amelia Glaser|title=Stories of Khmelnytsky: Competing Literary Legacies of the 1648 Ukrainian Cossack Uprising|chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=onsxCgAAQBAJ&pg=PA208|date=19 August 2015|publisher=Stanford University Press|isbn=978-0-8047-9382-7|page=208}}</ref><ref name="Scott2007">{{cite book|last=Scott|first=Douglas D.|author-link=Douglas D.
