Andriy Tchaikovsky (1857-1935) is a prominent Ukrainian writer, author of many historical novels and stories, among which the most prominent are adventure works about Cossacks addressed to young readers. Cossack adventures and battles with the Tatars fascinate the modern connoisseur with their excellent knowledge of ancient life and historical realities.

The story "Cossack Revenge" depicts the unbearably hard life of the enslaved Ukrainian peasantry under the yoke of the Polish gentry in the second half of the XVII - early XVIII century. Before the eyes of the protagonist, Karpo Kozhukh, his parents are abused and killed. The only resistance to such arbitrariness was the Zaporozhian Sich. Karp Kozhukh, raised by Cossacks in the Sich, plans and carries out revenge on the offenders. The colourful image of the Cossack - a "character", clever, skilful and hardworking - is also interesting. The events in the story cover the period of the late XVII - early XVIII centuries.
