This is an automatically translated description

The Black Council is the first Ukrainian historical work. Kulish himself conceived it as an epic chronicle. That is, a detailed depiction of the events of a certain period of time. The author took one year in the life of Ukraine during the Ruin as a basis. The main event of the novel is the so-called Black Council in Nizhyn in 1663.

The Black Rada of 1663 is a real event of the Cossack times. Penteleimon Kulish did a titanic job on his work. That is why on the pages of the novel readers will find a detailed reflection of the events, the main figures of those times, their intentions, actions, motivations. The general historical panorama and the moods of different strata of Ukrainian society are equally well developed in the novel.

The Black Council is not without romantic overtones. In addition to the main political storyline, in which the Cossacks fight and negotiate with each other for the fate of Ukraine, there is a secondary one - the love story that broke out between the characters of the book.
