Who were the registered and Zaporizhian Cossacks, what was their impact on Ukrainian culture, society, historical memory, military formations and psyche and why are they different from the Russians? This episode explains how those who fled serfdom to the wild, wild east of the Ukrainian steppes in the 16th century created a culture that still has a huge impact on Ukraine, that their imagery is as popular as it ever was. You'll also get to see how one man ignited a fire of an uprising, how history is perceived different through different eyes and why Ukrainians love their Hopak! Plus, you'll get all the information you want about Khortytsia Island - the largest island on the Dnipro River and home to an awesome living museum.
