Nova Sich (Ukrainian: Нова Січ, lit. 'New Sich') or Pidpilnenska Sich (Ukrainian: Підпільненська Січ, lit. 'Underground / Сlandestine Sich') was the administrative and military center of the Zaporozhian Cossacks in 1734–1775, established after the return of the Zaporozhian Host's Lowland Army unto the Russian protectorate as a result of the signing of the Lubny Treaty. The last Zaporozhian Sich was located on a large peninsula, washed by the river Pidpilna (a tributary of the Dnieper).
