Maksym Kryvonis (Ukrainian: Максим Кривоніс, literally means "crooked-nose") was one of the Cossack leaders and a commander of the Ukrainian peasants in the Lysianka and Cherkasy Regiments against the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. For the first time of the history of Lviv, during the siege of Lwów his regiment captured the Vysokyi Zamok Castle which was defended by the strong Polish–Lithuanian garrison and was one of the most important characters during the Khmelnytskyi Uprising in 1648.
