Marusya Bohuslavka is a legendary Ukrainian heroine of the 16th or 17th century. Similar to Roksolana Lisovska, Marusya was captured by the Turks and added to the harem of the Turkish sultan. A famous Cossack duma from this period tells the story of how Marusya rises to the point where her Turkish owner leaves her with the keys to his castle (and dungeon). She uses the opportunity to free a group of Ukrainian Cossacks who had been held captive there for 30 years. Surprisingly, she doesn't run away with them but stays with her harem, as this has become the only way of life she has become accustomed to. Marusya symbolises those who leave Ukraine but still have a strong connection to the land of their origin.
