The history of the Ukrainian Cossacks is shrouded in mystery, glory and, of course, myths. This is not surprising, since it was in Ukraine that the Cossacks managed not only to become a separate social group, but also a major state-building factor. The more myths and secrets we delve into its history, the deeper we go. Having emerged in the second half of the fifteenth century, it became a phenomenon that for three hundred years the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, Lithuania, the Crimean Khanate, and the Ottoman Empire had to reckon with. And Ukraine itself was called the state of the Cossacks!"
A well-known researcher of Ukrainian history, Vice-Rector of the Ostroh Academy, Professor Petro Kraliuk, is convinced that the glorious history of our Cossacks needs no embellishment. So - history without myths!
