    Wonderful synopsis of points raised by Tatiana Tairova's HURI lecture on "The Ukrainian Hetmanate vs Europe." Hetmanate elites were highly educated, enabling their use of Latin as a lingua franca in communications with Europe in the late 17th century. Bravo Professor Plokhii.

    Debois was trying to make a show and challenge Usyk, Fury was complaining about the result; and USYK ignored them both and victoriously holds up Mazepa’s sword!!! What a legend - defeating a boxing Giant twice in a row and everyone else at the top before that !

    There was a short-lived but very real obsession with Mazepa in the European art and bohème in the late 18-19c. Forbidden love, strife for freedom, self-sacrifice - a perfect romantic mix.

    the term Russia (so called russian empire) actually was officially introduced by tsar of Moscowy Peter, (also the terrible in fact, like stalin the terrible or like putin the terrible😅). Root morpheme of the word ' russia' is Rus or old scandinavian ' ruotsi' that refers to rowing on the boat, and is slavic linguistic adaptation of viking expansion term, and concerned in its most part the lands under leadership of Kyiv, its capital city. what today is called Russia most of the time would actually be moscovia or muscowyland, may that be a fortress or kingdom or latter so called empire.

    There was no "Russia" in 1708, only Moscovia (Tsardom of Moscow), even local Moscovian maps prove this.
    Only in 1721 Peter I will crown himself as an emperor of so called "All-rossian Empire", which was unheard of at the time. And for many decades or even the whole next century many in Europe didn't recognize this "Russian empire" neither as "Russia" nor as a real empire.
    Because the name Rus' represented Ukrainian lands for many centuries and Moscow didn't even controlled most of Ukrainian lands until total Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth collapse in 1795. And the Ruthenian lands in todays Western Ukraine, which were actually first called as Russia since Middle Ages, were annexed by Austria in 1772 and were finally occupied by Moscow only as a result of WW2.

      @olala-j7g 6 днів тому +2

      Mr genius, at that time it wasn't Poland. It was Rich Pospolita ( excuse me if it spelled wrong.) It included Litva, Latvia, Belorus, Estonia, part of moskivia. So central Europe is pretty good name to call in that context.

    Питання до цього пана який написав підручник з історії що ми в школі проходили: ЧОГО ця інформація в нього не включена повністю? Чого ми бігло вчили про Мазепу лиш в 5 класі, коли ще мозги не доросли? Правду казала Фаріон, вона виявляла вправно всі ці тонкі маніпуляції в шкільній програмі.
