What can the heroes of the stories have in common if they are two hundred years apart? Perhaps the fact that both of them are Ukrainian Cossack knights, and Ivan Piddubny's great-grandfather fought under Hordienko's banner.
At the end of 1708, Hordiienko received a wagon from Mazepa with a proposal to go to Charles XII to save the Fatherland from Moscow's captivity... a proposal from the hetman, who was perceived not only by the Sich but by the whole nation as a henchman of the demon-possessed Peter the Great. The choice is Koshov's... "The great Russian hero Ivan Piddubnyi". This imperial cliché is still used not only by the apologists of the Russian World, but also in the West. And, most offensively, in the homeland of the "champion of champions". That is why Yosyp Strutsiuk, based on convincing documented facts, is returning one of its most famous sons to Ukraine.
