In early times, Cossack bands were commanded by an ataman (later called hetman).

One ataman, splendid in black and silver, tugged at his huge, gray beard and grumbled.

The ataman became nervous.

"This is a noted warrior, oh ataman," exclaimed Somakeld.

By 1704, he had risen to the status of ataman of Bakhmut, a position he held until 1706.
