It became separated from the Left Bank during The Ruin In 1667 under the Treaty of Andrusovo, left-bank Ukraine was incorporated into Tsardom of Russia, while right-bank Ukraine (except for the city of Kiev) remained part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Five years later in 1672, Podolia was occupied by the Turkish Ottoman empire, while Kiev and Braclav came under the control of Hetman Petro Doroshenko until 1681, when they were also captured by Turks. After the Christian victory in the Battle of Vienna (1683), in 1699 the Treaty of Karlowitz returned those lands to the Commonwealth. During the eighteenth century, two Cossack uprisings took place. In 1793 right-bank Ukraine was finally annexed by the Russian Empire in the Second Partition of Poland, becoming part of the guberniya ('governorate') of Little Russia.
