Cossack era and the Hetmanate

🛡️ Marathon “Cossack Age and Hetmanate”

The Cossack Age is not just a page of history. It is a flash of fire in the steppe, the dull rumble of timpani before a battle, it is the cawing of a seagull on the Khortytsia and a sword raised in defense of freedom.

🔔 This historical marathon will take you to a world where honor was more important than life, and the word “will” was holier than bread. Here you will learn how the Cossack force emerged from the chaos of the Wild Field, which later challenged empires. You will walk the path together with Dmytro Vyshnevetsky, Bohdan Khmelnytsky, Ivan Mazepa and other outstanding atamans who shaped the fate of Ukraine with sword and pen.

You will find out:

🔹 How did they live in the Sich and for what could they be thrown out of the gate?
🔹 What did they eat, what did they wear, what prayers did they whisper before the battle?
🔹 How did they build the Hetmanate – with laws, diplomacy and their own army?
🔹 Why did Ivan Mazepa become a “traitor” for some and a hero for others?
🔹 Where did the Cossacks go after the destruction of the Sich, and how did they fight in Europe as mercenaries?

📜 This will not just be a story – but a historical journey, where every image comes to life, where the hopak saber sounds and the soul of Ukraine sings. Get ready for adventures, surprises, betrayals and victories – for a Cossack marathon that will be engraved in your heart.
