Mazepa. Rights to the sabre
by Vira Kuryko
Description
An outstanding Cossack figure, romanticized in European culture: his image was inspired by Voltaire, Hugo, Liszt, and Byron. Even during the hetman's life, the Russian tsar launched an information war against Mazepa, and for the fourth century, he has been cursed by Moscow and glorified by Ukrainians. Who is he? A hero of his homeland, a traitor, a romantic lover? This book is an attempt to look once again at what we know about Mazepa, his significant role in the history of Europe, his difficult decisions and his bright life.
