Semen Paliy was a Ukrainian Cossack polkovnyk. Born in Chernihiv region, Paliy settled in Zaporizhian Sich at a very young age and gained fame as a brave fighter and Zaporozhian Cossack.
In 1685 Paliy moved to Right-bank Ukraine and joined the service of Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth king John III Sobieski. During his years in Polish service, Paliy proved himself as an able Cossack commander in wars against Crimean Tatars and Ottoman Turks. Among other military deeds his men successfully raided the Turkish fortress of Ochakov and participated in the Battle of Vienna. He became the ataman of Right-bank Ukraine, still under Polish control.
