Comment: I’m afraid that there still aren’t enough reliable independent secondary sources listed to prove notability. There also seems to be something wrong with the way the citations are showing up, which you might want to check before submitting it again. Good luck 👍 Absurdum4242 (talk) 22:42, 15 September 2025 (UTC)
Ivan Yuryovych Serbin (Russian: Иван Юрьевич Сербин; c 1620–1665) was a Serbian nobleman from Novi Pazar, a relative of Serbian Metropolitan Gavriilo, a Bratslav colonel (1657-1658, 1663–1665), and Ivan Sirko's son-in-law[1][2][3][4]
Biography
[edit]A Serb by origin, Ivan Serbin joined the Cossack army in 1653 and, thanks to his bravery and education, attracted the attention of Hetman Bohdan Khmelnytsky. Serbin formed and led the Serbian Company (mercenary cavalry) Regiment, and in 1657, Khmelnytsky appointed Serbin the Bratslav Colonel. Ivan Serbin remained in this position during the hetmanate of Ivan Vyhovsky. Serbin, under the command of Vyhovsky, fought against the Russians, took part in the suppression of the Martyn Pushkar Uprising and in the attack of Daniil Vyhovsky on Kiev in 1658. During the siege of Kyiv, he was captured by the voivode Sheremetev and sent to Moscow. During interrogation in Moscow, Serbin said that he was a native of the Serbian city of Novi Pazar, a nobleman by origin and a relative of the Serbian Metropolitan Gabriel[5]
The ambassadors of the new hetman Yurii Khmelnytsky in December 1659 "bowed down to the sovereign to order the release of the captives, Ivan Serbin and others"[6]. The tsar forgave Serbin, and in 1660 he returned to Ukraine, settling in Korsun. After the election of Ivan Briukhovetsky as hetman, Ivan Serbin was again appointed a Bratslav colonel in 1663. Ivan Serbin was one of the leaders of the uprising in Right-Bank Ukraine of 1663–1665.
In 1664-1665, he fought against the Poles and Hetman Pavlo Teteria:
"Ivan Serbin, by faithfully serving the tsar, made amends for his former friendship with Ivan Vyhovsky: leaving Uman, he took three cities from the Poles: Babany, Kosenovka, and Kislyak, slaughtering all the Poles there. The Poles followed him to Uman, but Serbin, making a sortie, killed 120 men on the spot, and drove the rest, alive, like sheep, into the city."[7]
Ivan Serbin died in the battle of the Right-Bank Uprising in Ukraine near Uman in 1665.[8]
