Literally it means commander of hundred men in most Slavonic languages. In the Russian rank structure sotnik was developed into Poruchik which eventually turned into Lieutenant. The Ukrainian rank structure contained sotnyk rank well into the 20th century and was equivalent with captain, The rank did not officially change, but rather fell out of use after the elimination of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army by the Soviet Army and intelligence services.
