During that time, almost everyone could become a cossak, only later regulations by the russian empire made cossaks a class by itself. Cossak families had not to pay taxes but had to join the army when called to arms.

You mean the chuprenye (scalp lock) and the vusha (big mustache)? Those were the sign one was a fully inducted member of the Zaporozhye Brotherhood, the largest of the Cossack confederations founded in the 1580's by Yermak Timofeyvich who is considered a hero in both Russia and the Ukraine for making peace with the Turks and war on the Siberian natives. Even after they were forcibly disbanded and massacred by the order of Catherine the Great in 1775 there are those who trace their ancestry to members of that order and wear the locks and mustaches to this day. I'm not even Slavic but think cossacks are cool. :)
The song is translated incorrectly. It's "Fill our chrystal chalices to the top, so sabers and bullets don't hit our heads. So that Ukraine doesn't cry anymore, so that our Cossack fame is never forgotten".
Battle of Zhovti Vody April 29 to May 16, 1648. Poles 1,000 men against 11 000 men. As I have read there were about 10 times more Cossaks and Tatars than the Poles during the battle. The registered Cossacs betrayed the Poles before the battle and crossed over to the enemy. Not really a big deal to win regarding such a relative strenght. and there were husaria in very small numbers and Poles defended for a few weeks.
+tombry76wawa Numbers are different depending on side that writes an article. Either way, on real war you would eager to crush your enemy no matter what. If he makes mistakes - it is for worse for him.
There was actually over three thousand Polish Soldiers, Against about seven to eight thousand Ukrainian cossacks, Let me remind you that the Cossacks were much more Poorly armed, Armoured, Trained and had poorer Tactics. So the battle was fairly equal. Also note that a very small amount of the cossacks died, Less than five hundred is considered in academics. However the whole Polish Contingent was killed.

Nikeimizhong 18 days. But, granted, it would feel as months, to be in the Polish-Lithuanian army. They were kept tired and on constant watch, add to that the betraying forces on the Commonwealth's side. After these 18 days the balance was something about 12 to 1.
Polish ( Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth) hussars were most powerfull cavalry in the world those times. they crushed so badly almost everybody. That battle was one of a little exceptions, just because of mistakes made of commander
When I was a little kid in the late 1950s I had a Classics Illustrated comic book that summarized the bloody story of With Fire And Sword, based on the great classic novel. It was one of my favorites that I read over and over.
YES!!! I had the same comic book! Great stuff! Checked out a copy of the novel from the city library, read it. Greater stuff!! Did a book report (I was in, what, the seventh grade?). Oh, that was action! That was adventure! (And not a little of adult-grade violence.)
I have seen this and i am a grate fan of this great movie! I like evrything in his movie the dresings the wepons the guns. Thanks Poland for such a great movie. Gretings from Portugal!Love for Poland!
Funny fact - Bohdan Chmielnicki, who led the Cossack rebellion, was a Polish nobleman, while Jarema Wiśniowiecki, who was suppressing and fighting this rebellion, was a Ruthenian (Ukrainian) prince.
@@user-ns7dl8ch8q They were all runaway slaves of various nationalities. Russians only allowed cossacks to exist as long as Don stopped protecting serfs and obeyed tsar in everything. Haidamaks and Zaporozhia refused so we all know what happened to them. Funny thing is that Donetsk as reduced to its present status by a Polish nobleman head of the Cheka Iron-Felix.
@@chadgaston8615 Nice fantasy Chad. When the very first Cossacks began forming in what is today Ukraine there was no such country called Russia so just how did the Russians allow them to exist? Cossacks began way back in 14th century whereas what is today called Russia was known as the Grand Duchy of Moscow. There was no Russia until 16th Century almost 200 years after the first Cossacks existed so you are telling tall tales.
Correct. Winged Hussars NEVER attacked in such undisciplined a manner and certainly never on a muddy field. They went 125 years without losing a single battle yet we are expected to believe they were so undisciplined and attacked helter skelter which was the total opposite of their trademark form of attacks. Also, at that time their armour was able to withstand the ancient muskets and pistols used here yet we see Hussar after Hussar being shot and dying. It was not until some years later Swedish modern muskets were able to penetrate armour and the Winged Hussars became obsolete as a fighting unit. It was numbers that won this battle not tactics such as shown here as the Cossacks seriously outnumbered the defenders of that castle at the time. The main force of Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth did not arrive in that area till some time after this battle.
Whats shown in the movie is fiction. The battle of Yellow Waters had ZERO winged cavalry units in it . It's a historical fact. Poles did loose it but those were only regular border infantry.
Haxton Sale4040 Shamefull depiction tough , Polish political elites seem to be kissing ukrainian asses since 1991 for reasons which I fail to see. With such "allies" as ukrainians we would not need enemies...
They did have a cavalry unit but it was actually light hussars (like ulhans or lancers in light coats rather than armor, similar to the cossacks they were fighting) rather than the more familiar winged "Angels of Death" as the Russians and Ukrainians would call them. However, it was done for audience familiarity purposes.
Of all periods in history of war I love the period between 16th and 19th centuries the most, that was a time when gunpowder, blade and honor were together side by side. And everyone had the style back then. Swaggering, dancing to the battlefield, pipe in mouth sword on shoulder gun on the hand. Cavalry with wings. and no one would take you seriously if you did not have a proper music band with your army !
The song at the end is really good. I sing it sometimes. I think, instead of always arguing with each other, we Slavics owe it to each other to join together. I think all slavics are badass, we have very beautiful languages and cultures that are SO unique to the world. We have a very old and interesting history with new finds all the time. If only we were together somehow!! It's sad for me to see a torn up Ukraine these days.. so much influence from russia.. We are in danger of losing Ukraine.
***** in Cremea people used these right at the election which showed that most of them prefer to be with Russia . Moreover there were a lot of "accidents" which can show that citiztns of former Ukraninan Crimea dislike Ukranian government. For example , on February 12 1991 and the results of all-Crimean referendum, which was boycotted by returning to the peninsula from places of deportation Crimean Tatars (20 January 1991), Crimea region transformed into the Crimean Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic as a part of the Ukraine..That is why , it was obvious that Crimea returned ti their motherland.
Muskets were very innefective this times, due to special hussar charging tactic. In Stanislaw Pasek diary you can read that 3000 of moskva soldiers shot at 4 regiments of hussars and only one hussar and 4 "squires" were dead and his horse was wounded. Musket was really uneffective weapon,hussar armor and tactic was really good, in my oppinion best in the known world.
As I have read there were about 10 times more Cossaks and Tatars than the Poles during the battle. The registered Cossacs betrayed the Poles before the battle and crossed over to the enemy. Not really a big deal to win regarding such a relative strenght.
The battle and the first period of this war was lost by the Poles because of wrong commanding by hetman Mikołaj Potocki who split his forces and send half of them under the command of his unexperienced son down Dnipro (Dniepr) river. Young Potocki also split his 8000 troops and sent 5000 registered Cossacs and 1000 of German musketeers on boats while 2000 hussars and dragons were marching along the river crossing many rivers flowing into the Dnipro river. Cossacks on boats betrayed and went to the side of the rebels and then they eliminated German musketeers. Stefan Potocki - hetman's son, found himself with 2000 horsemen trapped.
All battles were with poles < ukr But in the end poles won big battles with less then 5% casualties and ukr lost with 30-40% Commonwealth had the best military units known to mankind cossacks were literally thiefs, rapist and murderers - bandits. Without element of surprise, on equal terms they were slaughtered
Sometimes we dream (but only dream) to ressurect great multi-cultural Commonwealth, where all nations lived in peace. Poland, Lithuania, Ukraine, and anyone of our brothers wants.
Real battle was completely different, it was a long siege of polish camp and winged hussars were really small in numbers. Cossacks and Tatars won due to vast superiority of numbers and betrayal of ones who were fighting along Poles.
Battle of Yellow River (Zhovti Vody in Ukrainian, Zolte Wode in Polish) from April 29th to May 16th of 1649 where Ukraine kicked Poland out and helped win their freedom. 8000 cossacks and about 1200 to 1500 Muslim Tatars from the Caucasus as their allies faced off against a better armed and better trained force of 13000 Polish regulars including a unit of several hundred hussars. The cossacks created a tabor, or wagon circle due to the fact the Tatars were late bringing fresh horses for their men and didn't want to have to face the hussars on foot. Also, the Polish had almost 5000 register cossacks fighting as mercenaries who made up for the Tatars showing up late by switching sides at the last minute when Togey Bey bribed them to do so. As a result, the combined forces outnumbered the Poles who were unable to use their matchlocks in the heavy rain and their pike-wielding peasant levees were running for the hills only to drown in the muddy and flooded river or be cut down thousands of cossacks and Tatars on horseback. The movie fails to show how the siege of the wagon fort lasted nearly three weeks and misrepresents as hammy and over-the-top Togey Bey, who in reality was actually cool-headed, cold, calculated, and a shrewd negotiator who flew a white flag to parley with the registers. However, the writer of the movie said all the inaccuracies should be forgiven as he was going off the novel this is based on rather than the historical battle. Poles and Ukrainians alike can agree on the objective facts at least and that this movie and its prequel The Deluge have some cool fights and action. :)
LKVideos Depends on a period. Their prime was the time of Mehmed III and fall of Constantinople, but in 17th century they were still Turkish elite troops. If they weren't good, how did they manage to conquer most of south-east Europe?
Hi "With Fire and Sword" is one movie thats part of a trilogy based on 19th century books. The other 2 movies were filmed in the 70's so this one will have the best battle scenes. You can buy the movie on amazon.
And you keep on bringing up the Vikings all the time, Swedish History is so much more then just the Vikings, we have a great History here, And a old one.
I feel sorry that Russians and Poles did not relise that they are cultural brothers and formed one nation. My dream historical nation is a slavic commonwealth with a capital in kiev or lwow. Kiev has influence from both Russia and Poland, Lwow more so. Acceptance of catholics and orthodox christians, a language formed by mixing polish, ukrainian and russian using the cyliric alphabet (im not talking forcing people like the Russians did, just somthing to be taught in scools perhaps)
Alas! It was impossible! In the 16th century in Europe began the Counter-Reformation policy, for the elimination of all non-Catholics! So in the end, in the west of Europe, this policy resulted in the St Bartholomew's ! And in Eastern Europe, this policy grew in a century of civil&religion wars in the territory of the Commonwealth! Read the title Rzeczpospolita - this title Republic of the Two Catholic peoples Poles and Lithuanians! Name Orthodox Rus missing! Thus, the whole nation of the Orthodox, was formally excluded from the half of the territory of the Commonwealth, in which all the kings were Catholics.
they aren't, ukrainians made their own culture when "Rzeczpospolita" ignored them, polish culture was most influenced to Ruś people in 1500-1800 and russian in 1800+ but have still their own culture, young, right, based on others, right, dominated by Russian now but still.
I'd like to remind everyone that Russian Hetman Khmelnytsky fought against the Uniates, Poles-Eurointegrators etc. Ours in the Donbass are his ideological heirs.
@@pc_suffering6941 uprising was initially to restore rights of Ruthenian Orthodox nobility and Zaporozhian Cossacks and had nothing to do with Russian Tsardom up until 1654, 6 years after the beginning of uprising when the treaty of Pereyaslav was signed (still granting a very wide autonomy and self governance of Hetmanate, including own tax and customs duty system, own courts and separate judicial system, etc). Among Khmelnitski comrades there were people with different background, including Catholics (Wygowski), Jews (Bolbochan) and Muslims (Doroshenko was allegedly Muslim). So it has nothing to do with fighting against the West, Catholics or whatever. The war was about restoring rights of a large group of people. And Khmelnitski seek help not only in Moscow, but also in Istanbul, Stockholm and Transylvania. P.S.: Russians eventually betrayed Cossacks by signing treaty of Andrusow with Poland in 1667 (according to which Ukraine was divided in two using Dnieper river as a delineator), hence why breaking the treaty of Pereyaslav signed with Cossacks in 1654 and therefore making it nill.
@ARBIH87 Wings played a very important role. The truth is that the knights of hussars had a wing with feathers, so that from big distance it seemed that there are twice as many (sometimes it is enough that the opponent just run away), on the other wing were attached small bells, which did much noise during charge.
I dont understand why people says about polish-ukrainian war. First: King Vladislav wanted to invade Crimea and wanted war with Ottoman Imperium. He started to collect army. Cossacks, in this time, was shared on registered soldier (they got money) and unregistered. King promised to extand number of registered Cossacks because planned war. But was something more. Senator Kisiel wanted use this new army to cancelled Republic and establish totalitarian monarchy. But Sejm (parlament) was reviewed this plans and did not consent. More...Sejm limited the royal power again and forbidden war with Ottoman Imperium. King Vladislav used dissatisfaction Cossacks and asked Bohdan Chmielnicki to made revolution against reign of the great noble families (magnatów). By the way, most of them were not Poles but Rusins, like main enemy of Bohdan Chmielnicki, Jarema Wiśniowiecki. He was Rus not Poles. At the start, Cossacks didn't want to rebel, but Chmielnicki showed them letter from King Vladislav. And they started rebel. Senator Kisiel had excuse to start conversations with Sejm about numbers of registered Cossacks. But was more... because King Vladislav has died, and Jarema Wiśniowiecki wanted made son new King, and he did it. But he had to made himself popularity before elections and that's why he forced Kingdom of Poland (Korona) to make civil war. Second: who are Cossacks? Not Kiev Rus people , like they likes to think. The Rus of Kiev was totally destroyed in XII century by Mongols. There was many state of rus. In XVI century, was Rus on today's Belarus. And this Rus (belarus) people they established Grand Lithuanian Duchy and was second part of Commonwealth (Kingdom of Poland and Grand Lithuanian Duchy). And this Rus people started conquered rest of lands The Rus of Kiev which was destroyed by Mongols 400 years before. A lot of Rus nobles wanted to be part of Commonwealth because they had freedom, contrary to people in Duchy of Moscow. That's why, 50 years before this war, Nobles of Duchy of Moscow wanted polish king (and prince of Grand Lithuanian Duchy) as new king. They wanted to be part of Commonwealth and to have freedom. Another story. Back to the topic, who are Cossacks? They were mixed nation. They were rebellious peasants from diffrent parts of Commonwealth, poor Rus and Polish noblemans (warriors), Germans, even Scots... many nations were there. What means Ukraina? It means, "at the border". Ukrainian people means people who lives near the border. Thirdly: so who fought there? Poles and Ukrainians? No. Nobleman od Rus fought with Cossacks (many mixed nations). Fourthly: What about Kingdom of Poland? What about Poles? Commonwealth was great state but Poles had no army. Kingdom of Poland had freedom. And this freedom was attractive for Noblemans of Rus. Rus was no conquered. Fifth: when Lithuanian people, Poles, Rus started to hate each other really? In XIX century. Because in XIX century was born nacionalism. And each nation of Commonwealth wanted to be separated. Many faults made that Poles because they started to call Commonwealth "Poland", and even today, many young Poles are thinking about Commonwealth like about Poland. That's why Rus people and Lithuanian people thinking that in XVI century they were conquered by Poland.
You wrong about Ukraine meaning "at the border". It's common mistake made by soviet authors, who pretty much didn't want to dig deeper into the topic and create this myth. Ukraine means "Country", "Land" or "Claim". Last one is more precise. The root of this word is "Krai" which means "Land" in first place. And "Kraina" is more like "Country" or "State". And in the last - cossacs tend to pronounce this word softer (to show love to this lands) so here they add "V" at the start of word - "our beloved Vkraina" which transformed later to Ukraina. Even modern ukrainians says Vkraina sometimes.
In Mount & Blade: With Fire and Sword, they also had like the same scenario and theme like in this video. (Except there's no mud that will slow down the Hussars)
Yes. We will see if Poland is stupid enough to repeat 1686, 1768 and 1920. My money is on Da but so far Duda seems to have maintained his common sense.
@darkdanu89 Depends from what distance - if a musket ball was fired from large distance then thick enough armor of good quality could stop it. Breastplates of Winged Hussars often used to be very thick - up to 9mm. For example in the Museum of the Polish Army in Warsaw you can find 7mm and even 9mm thick original examples. Also vs balls of anything lighter and of smaller calibre and thus less kinetic energy than musket (like arquebus or pistol) such thick armor could easily protect
Może ten film nie jest mistrzowski i nie ma zajebistych efektów specjalnych, ale gra aktorska i w szczególności ścieżka dźwiękowa stoi na bardzo wysokim poziomie.
Też tak myślę. Potop jest moim zdaniem najlepszym filmem Hofmana. Duża w tym zasługa zdjęć Wójcika. Tu trochę poszedł w efekciarstwo ale nie do końca to wyszło. W każdym razie to najlepszy jego film zrobiony w warunkach "kapitalistycznej" kinematografii. Potem było.juz tylko gorzej
The title is "With Fire and Sword" , in polish : "Ogniem i Mieczem". It's polish movie about cossacks uprising in Polish East territory ,in 1648. Movie was in cinemas in 1998 or 1999
exactly that. The poles always had to be on guard since they were the ones defending, the cossacks could take turns on sleeping and just keep feigning it. By morning the cossacks were rested while the entire hussar force has been up the entire night, same with their horses.
Yes. In addition to tiring the hussars and lowering their morale, it also in the historical battle allowed Togey Bey (crazy Muslim guy in the Magyar-looking armor) to sneak over and successfully convince any cossacks allied with the Poles (there were close to 5000 on the other side in fact) to defect to theirs. As a result, the next day they were able to reverse everything and turn the tide.
Goto love those movies, they manage to fire several rounds of fire against cavalry, before they run back in time to defend, those poles have some slow horses ;) LOL
hehe yepp they usualy do ;) but i do agree with you, films almost never show the real truth, the polish Hussar`s are famous for they`r bravery, they have my respect. :) this movie could easily been made by Mel Gibson.. historical facts.. ?? naa.. lets make hero movie. lol
Dziękuję za link.. Nie rozumiem bardzo dobrze polskie, ale to ciekawe video, wszystkie cztery części :) Can you explain me the meaning of the small back plate, which he had under the fur cloak?
All you said is true, but the idea still stands: if you send your cavalry through thick mud, they are going to get ensnared. It would have been better to keep them reserved at the rear or for them to maneuver around the mud.
@ARBIH87 I read that wings were attached to the saddle not the knight, but it's also supposed to depend on time, Hussars also evolved. The film shows that the hussars knights fell off their horses in the mud and trying to be raised to go. It just is not true. Their armor was so heavy that it was necessary to use a crane to plant them on horseback. When one fell off, lying as long as someone did not raise them.
I'm Ukrainian and suposed to know the text (as said above), but I really can't understand a word they are singing=) This may rely on the Polish stuntmen, it may also rely on the quality of the film copy.
My ancestor was at that battle, and I am absolutely convinced going to war with Chmielnicki was one of the biggest mistakes Poland made ever Personally, I apologize, my Ukrainian brothers and sisters for my family involvement in this war
@dimitry246 Those bullets were able to maby throw someone off the horse ,or even rip his spinal skeleton part but those bullets weren't able to get through the armour itslef and hit the body.

Well before hand they were all apart of the same nation so an uprising is an uprising.
There was actually over three thousand Polish Soldiers, Against about seven to eight thousand Ukrainian cossacks, Let me remind you that the Cossacks were much more Poorly armed, Armoured, Trained and had poorer Tactics. So the battle was fairly equal. Also note that a very small amount of the cossacks died, Less than five hundred is considered in academics. However the whole Polish Contingent was killed.

What is the name of book
@@fratuzunoglu7190 with fire and sword by henryk sienkiewicz
Im reading it now😁
Would you recommend a specific translation?
@@Gigas0101 Well I'm just about 8 months too late by the looks of it, but the translation by W.S. Kuniczak is pretty damn good and reasonably modern.
1000 Poles vs 10000 cossacks, battle was almost two weeks long. Not 2 days like in movie
Nikeimizhong 18 days. But, granted, it would feel as months, to be in the Polish-Lithuanian army. They were kept tired and on constant watch, add to that the betraying forces on the Commonwealth's side. After these 18 days the balance was something about 12 to 1.
White Moon Poles have more than 20 cannons(cossacks have 3) and were defending - it was like to capture the fortress for the cossacks
Polish (
Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth) hussars were most powerfull cavalry in the world those times. they crushed so badly almost everybody. That battle was one of a little exceptions, just because of mistakes made of commander
Ти ляше iх сам рахував?
@@user-bm1ki6yo6d hahahaha :D
W sumie racja, Polacy się sami policzyli, a Kozaków to tylko Bóg wie ilu było
Kryvonos looks like a pirate captain with his sabre on his shoulders and his pipe - ultimate cossack badass
I am from Serbia and i'm love the film ogniem and mieczem Husaria is the best
When I was a little kid in the late 1950s I had a Classics Illustrated comic book that summarized the bloody story of With Fire And Sword, based on the great classic novel. It was one of my favorites that I read over and over.
YES!!! I had the same comic book! Great stuff! Checked out a copy of the novel from the city library, read it. Greater stuff!! Did a book report (I was in, what, the seventh grade?). Oh, that was action! That was adventure! (And not a little of adult-grade violence.)
Maxim Kryvonis (possibly a Cameron) is such a badass. 2:46 and onwards.
he is real person, famous cossack colonel Maksym Kryvonis
Yes . He was a Scotish man . From Camerons klan .
I have seen this and i am a grate fan of this great movie!
I like evrything in his movie the dresings the wepons the guns.
Thanks Poland for such a great movie.
Gretings from Portugal!Love for Poland!
The movie misses the most famous Hussars battle cry: "Jezus! Maria!".
To akurat bylo jak pan Zagloba choragiew zdobyl pod Zbarazem ;)

Funny fact - Bohdan Chmielnicki, who led the Cossack rebellion, was a Polish nobleman, while Jarema Wiśniowiecki, who was suppressing and fighting this rebellion, was a Ruthenian (Ukrainian) prince.
Ahaha, he was Ortodox Rusin (Ukrainian)
@@user-ns7dl8ch8q or Belarusan ;)
@@martig1000 Nah.
@@user-ns7dl8ch8q They were all runaway slaves of various nationalities. Russians only allowed cossacks to exist as long as Don stopped protecting serfs and obeyed tsar in everything. Haidamaks and Zaporozhia refused so we all know what happened to them. Funny thing is that Donetsk as reduced to its present status by a Polish nobleman head of the Cheka Iron-Felix.
@@chadgaston8615 Nice fantasy Chad. When the very first Cossacks began forming in what is today Ukraine there was no such country called Russia so just how did the Russians allow them to exist? Cossacks began way back in 14th century whereas what is today called Russia was known as the Grand Duchy of Moscow. There was no Russia until 16th Century almost 200 years after the first Cossacks existed so you are telling tall tales.
Lets Play M&B with fire and sword !
Memlük Askeri yeeah man.
The most unreal and unbelievable battle scene imaginable.
Correct. Winged Hussars NEVER attacked in such undisciplined a manner and certainly never on a muddy field. They went 125 years without losing a single battle yet we are expected to believe they were so undisciplined and attacked helter skelter which was the total opposite of their trademark form of attacks.
Also, at that time their armour was able to withstand the ancient muskets and pistols used here yet we see Hussar after Hussar being shot and dying. It was not until some years later Swedish modern muskets were able to penetrate armour and the Winged Hussars became obsolete as a fighting unit.
It was numbers that won this battle not tactics such as shown here as the Cossacks seriously outnumbered the defenders of that castle at the time. The main force of Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth did not arrive in that area till some time after this battle.
Whats shown in the movie is fiction. The battle of Yellow Waters had ZERO winged cavalry units in it . It's a historical fact. Poles did loose it but those were only regular border infantry.
Ask Sienkiewicz.
+Krakowek1983__ Movies tend to add things to make it seem more interesting to non-history folk. Kinda sucks but oh well :)
Haxton Sale4040 Shamefull depiction tough , Polish political elites seem to be kissing ukrainian asses since 1991 for reasons which I fail to see. With such "allies" as ukrainians we would not need enemies...
Krakowek1983__
True. Im not polish so i wouldnt know.
They did have a cavalry unit but it was actually light hussars (like ulhans or lancers in light coats rather than armor, similar to the cossacks they were fighting) rather than the more familiar winged "Angels of Death" as the Russians and Ukrainians would call them. However, it was done for audience familiarity purposes.
Of all periods in history of war I love the period between 16th and 19th centuries the most, that was a time when gunpowder, blade and honor were together side by side. And everyone had the style back then. Swaggering, dancing to the battlefield, pipe in mouth sword on shoulder gun on the hand. Cavalry with wings. and no one would take you seriously if you did not have a proper music band with your army !
Neat, I might watch this whole series. It really puts the game in context for those of us who don't know much about Eastern Europe.
It would be nice to see more stories from this region to see in the cinemas
The song at the end is really good. I sing it sometimes. I think, instead of always arguing with each other, we Slavics owe it to each other to join together. I think all slavics are badass, we have very beautiful languages and cultures that are SO unique to the world. We have a very old and interesting history with new finds all the time. If only we were together somehow!! It's sad for me to see a torn up Ukraine these days.. so much influence from russia.. We are in danger of losing Ukraine.
An interesting comment to read in 2022. Yes, indeed, so much influence from Russia... sad times.
It's very hard to be together with imperialist Russia.
Twój komentarz ma duże znaczenie w dzisiejszych czasach
and many respect to my fellow slavic brothers!
Tylko Polska moja Ojczyzna zawsze w sercu..
Yay! Poland and Hungary should be closer xD We would be such a good mates for sure ;) Love all hungarians I met so far
Great film based on an epic novel. Deserves to be better known about.
How many years have passed, but the Polish,Ukranian and Russian kids still arguing)
***** Where are your argumemts,kid ?)
***** LOL) Have ypu ever heard about referendumn or something like the right of self - determination ?
***** especially for you en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-determination
***** in Cremea people used these right at the election which showed that most of them prefer to be with Russia . Moreover there were a lot of "accidents" which can show that citiztns of former Ukraninan Crimea dislike Ukranian government. For example , on February 12 1991 and the results of all-Crimean referendum, which was boycotted by returning to the peninsula from places of deportation Crimean Tatars (20 January 1991), Crimea region transformed into the Crimean Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic as a part of the Ukraine..That is why , it was obvious that Crimea returned ti their motherland.

Uwielbiam tą piosenke co to ją kozacy przed bitwą śpiewają
Ściągnąłem z internetu 3 wersje tego utworu
Fighting Cossacks WERE CRAZY. That is why I love 'em!
Muskets were very innefective this times, due to special hussar charging tactic. In Stanislaw Pasek diary you can read that 3000 of moskva soldiers shot at 4 regiments of hussars and only one hussar and 4 "squires" were dead and his horse was wounded. Musket was really uneffective weapon,hussar armor and tactic was really good, in my oppinion best in the known world.
the power of the musket was still weak right?
@@somedesertdude1308 They just had basic black powder, smooth bores with no rifling for accuracy, matchlocks so ignition was not always successful.
Old Cossack War song, "Nalewajmy bracia" (Pour the wine brothers).
As I have read there were about 10 times more Cossaks and Tatars than the Poles during the battle. The registered Cossacs betrayed the Poles before the battle and crossed over to the enemy. Not really a big deal to win regarding such a relative strenght.
Ralph X Thats true and there were husaria in very small numbers.
Ralph X Next battle was won without tatars and Poles have bigger army than Ukrainians
The battle and the first period of this war was lost by the Poles because of wrong commanding by hetman Mikołaj Potocki who split his forces and send half of them under the command of his unexperienced son down Dnipro (Dniepr) river. Young Potocki also split his 8000 troops and sent 5000 registered Cossacs and 1000 of German musketeers on boats while 2000 hussars and dragons were marching along the river crossing many rivers flowing into the Dnipro river. Cossacks on boats betrayed and went to the side of the rebels and then they eliminated German musketeers. Stefan Potocki - hetman's son, found himself with 2000 horsemen trapped.
All battles were with poles < ukr
But in the end poles won big battles with less then 5% casualties and ukr lost with 30-40%
Commonwealth had the best military units known to mankind cossacks were literally thiefs, rapist and murderers - bandits. Without element of surprise, on equal terms they were slaughtered
The kossack dude with the pipe is awsomeness incarnated!
one of the best movies I have ever seen
Ahh, polish hussars, the best cavalary of that time!
song-Nalivaymo brattia ,great :)
Sometimes we dream (but only dream) to ressurect great multi-cultural Commonwealth, where all nations lived in peace. Poland, Lithuania, Ukraine, and anyone of our brothers wants.
Real battle was completely different, it was a long siege of polish camp and winged hussars were really small in numbers. Cossacks and Tatars won due to vast superiority of numbers and betrayal of ones who were fighting along Poles.
Cry more
@@miceatah9359 Facts are not crying. No-one is denying they lost.
@@miceatah9359 stating facts is crying now. I bet you are underage.
@@miceatah9359He is right about battle. What is your problem?
Battle of Yellow River (Zhovti Vody in Ukrainian, Zolte Wode in Polish) from April 29th to May 16th of 1649 where Ukraine kicked Poland out and helped win their freedom. 8000 cossacks and about 1200 to 1500 Muslim Tatars from the Caucasus as their allies faced off against a better armed and better trained force of 13000 Polish regulars including a unit of several hundred hussars. The cossacks created a tabor, or wagon circle due to the fact the Tatars were late bringing fresh horses for their men and didn't want to have to face the hussars on foot. Also, the Polish had almost 5000 register cossacks fighting as mercenaries who made up for the Tatars showing up late by switching sides at the last minute when Togey Bey bribed them to do so. As a result, the combined forces outnumbered the Poles who were unable to use their matchlocks in the heavy rain and their pike-wielding peasant levees were running for the hills only to drown in the muddy and flooded river or be cut down thousands of cossacks and Tatars on horseback. The movie fails to show how the siege of the wagon fort lasted nearly three weeks and misrepresents as hammy and over-the-top Togey Bey, who in reality was actually cool-headed, cold, calculated, and a shrewd negotiator who flew a white flag to parley with the registers. However, the writer of the movie said all the inaccuracies should be forgiven as he was going off the novel this is based on rather than the historical battle. Poles and Ukrainians alike can agree on the objective facts at least and that this movie and its prequel The Deluge have some cool fights and action. :)
"Żółte Wody" in Polish
Жовті води in ukrainian
In battle of Żółte Wody was 3000 of Polish unit and sth about 8-11 thousands of Cossacks-Tatar forces.
1649 was there country Ukraine?) it is just Polish and Russian nations. So Ukraine was created after Russian Empire collapsed in 1920th.

Hi
"With Fire and Sword" is one movie thats part of a trilogy based on 19th century books. The other 2 movies were filmed in the 70's so this one will have the best battle scenes. You can buy the movie on amazon.
I just wanted to see a Cossack Wagenburg. The A and B of the East-European infantry is almost not shown here.
Love for Ukrain from Poland!!!
Friendship forever!!!
And you keep on bringing up the Vikings all the time, Swedish History is so much more then just the Vikings, we have a great History here, And a old one.
good music at 2:43, this is 1 reason why l like historical movies
I feel very sorry to fight Ukrainians... we could have empire together
Część! So true its will be empire now and 1920 its second history so sad
+Андрій Максимяк це правда!
I feel sorry that Russians and Poles did not relise that they are cultural brothers and formed one nation. My dream historical nation is a slavic commonwealth with a capital in kiev or lwow. Kiev has influence from both Russia and Poland, Lwow more so. Acceptance of catholics and orthodox christians, a language formed by mixing polish, ukrainian and russian using the cyliric alphabet (im not talking forcing people like the Russians did, just somthing to be taught in scools perhaps)
Alas! It was impossible! In the 16th century in Europe began the Counter-Reformation policy, for the elimination of all non-Catholics! So in the end, in the west of Europe, this policy resulted in the St Bartholomew's ! And in Eastern Europe, this policy grew in a century of civil&religion wars in the territory of the Commonwealth! Read the title Rzeczpospolita - this title Republic of the Two Catholic peoples Poles and Lithuanians! Name Orthodox Rus missing! Thus, the whole nation of the Orthodox, was formally excluded from the half of the territory of the Commonwealth, in which all the kings were Catholics.
they aren't, ukrainians made their own culture when "Rzeczpospolita" ignored them, polish culture was most influenced to Ruś people in 1500-1800 and russian in 1800+ but have still their own culture, young, right, based on others, right, dominated by Russian now but still.
To samo jak wiosną 2022 , jedni kozacy walczą, a inni siedzą w Polsce, piją wódkę i śpewają piosenki ...
I'd like to remind everyone that Russian Hetman Khmelnytsky fought against the Uniates, Poles-Eurointegrators etc. Ours in the Donbass are his ideological heirs.
@@pc_suffering6941 Not at all.
@@pwc_uk why
@@pc_suffering6941 uprising was initially to restore rights of Ruthenian Orthodox nobility and Zaporozhian Cossacks and had nothing to do with Russian Tsardom up until 1654, 6 years after the beginning of uprising when the treaty of Pereyaslav was signed (still granting a very wide autonomy and self governance of Hetmanate, including own tax and customs duty system, own courts and separate judicial system, etc). Among Khmelnitski comrades there were people with different background, including Catholics (Wygowski), Jews (Bolbochan) and Muslims (Doroshenko was allegedly Muslim). So it has nothing to do with fighting against the West, Catholics or whatever. The war was about restoring rights of a large group of people. And Khmelnitski seek help not only in Moscow, but also in Istanbul, Stockholm and Transylvania. P.S.: Russians eventually betrayed Cossacks by signing treaty of Andrusow with Poland in 1667 (according to which Ukraine was divided in two using Dnieper river as a delineator), hence why breaking the treaty of Pereyaslav signed with Cossacks in 1654 and therefore making it nill.
@@pwc_uk using "ruthenian" and "russian" to mean two different things, I see
Gotta love how i saw all those hats in the game
@ARBIH87 Wings played a very important role. The truth is that the knights of hussars had a wing with feathers, so that from big distance it seemed that there are twice as many (sometimes it is enough that the opponent just run away), on the other wing were attached small bells, which did much noise during charge.
Is"with fire and sword" the real name of the movie?
I dont understand why people says about polish-ukrainian war. First: King Vladislav wanted to invade Crimea and wanted war with Ottoman Imperium. He started to collect army. Cossacks, in this time, was shared on registered soldier (they got money) and unregistered. King promised to extand number of registered Cossacks because planned war. But was something more. Senator Kisiel wanted use this new army to cancelled Republic and establish totalitarian monarchy. But Sejm (parlament) was reviewed this plans and did not consent. More...Sejm limited the royal power again and forbidden war with Ottoman Imperium. King Vladislav used dissatisfaction Cossacks and asked Bohdan Chmielnicki to made revolution against reign of the great noble families (magnatów). By the way, most of them were not Poles but Rusins, like main enemy of Bohdan Chmielnicki, Jarema Wiśniowiecki. He was Rus not Poles. At the start, Cossacks didn't want to rebel, but Chmielnicki showed them letter from King Vladislav. And they started rebel. Senator Kisiel had excuse to start conversations with Sejm about numbers of registered Cossacks.
But was more... because King Vladislav has died, and Jarema Wiśniowiecki wanted made son new King, and he did it. But he had to made himself popularity before elections and that's why he forced Kingdom of Poland (Korona) to make civil war.
Second: who are Cossacks? Not Kiev Rus people , like they likes to think. The Rus of Kiev was totally destroyed in XII century by Mongols. There was many state of rus. In XVI century, was Rus on today's Belarus.
And this Rus (belarus) people they established Grand Lithuanian Duchy and was second part of Commonwealth (Kingdom of Poland and Grand Lithuanian Duchy). And this Rus people started conquered rest of lands The Rus of Kiev which was destroyed by Mongols 400 years before. A lot of Rus nobles wanted to be part of Commonwealth because they had freedom, contrary to people in Duchy of Moscow. That's why, 50 years before this war, Nobles of Duchy of Moscow wanted polish king (and prince of Grand Lithuanian Duchy) as new king. They wanted to be part of Commonwealth and to have freedom. Another story. Back to the topic, who are Cossacks? They were mixed nation. They were rebellious peasants from diffrent parts of Commonwealth, poor Rus and Polish noblemans (warriors), Germans, even Scots... many nations were there.
What means Ukraina? It means, "at the border". Ukrainian people means people who lives near the border. Thirdly: so who fought there? Poles and Ukrainians? No. Nobleman od Rus fought with Cossacks (many mixed nations).
Fourthly: What about Kingdom of Poland? What about Poles? Commonwealth was great state but Poles had no army. Kingdom of Poland had freedom. And this freedom was attractive for Noblemans of Rus. Rus was no conquered.
Fifth: when Lithuanian people, Poles, Rus started to hate each other really? In XIX century. Because in XIX century was born nacionalism. And each nation of Commonwealth wanted to be separated. Many faults made that Poles because they started to call Commonwealth "Poland", and even today, many young Poles are thinking about Commonwealth like about Poland. That's why Rus people and Lithuanian people thinking that in XVI century they were conquered by Poland.
Jan Trukszyn where did you get all this from?
mykolakanyuk Ummmm, books? Most likely inaccurate, Ukrainian books.
You wrong about Ukraine meaning "at the border". It's common mistake made by soviet authors, who pretty much didn't want to dig deeper into the topic and create this myth.
Ukraine means "Country", "Land" or "Claim". Last one is more precise. The root of this word is "Krai" which means "Land" in first place. And "Kraina" is more like "Country" or "State". And in the last - cossacs tend to pronounce this word softer (to show love to this lands) so here they add "V" at the start of word - "our beloved Vkraina" which transformed later to Ukraina.
Even modern ukrainians says Vkraina sometimes.
In Mount & Blade: With Fire and Sword, they also had like the same scenario and theme like in this video. (Except there's no mud that will slow down the Hussars)
well interesting ... from where do you have that info? please share that knoledge with everyone ;-)

@@chadgaston8615 what
@darkdanu89
Depends from what distance - if a musket ball was fired from large distance then thick enough armor of good quality could stop it. Breastplates of Winged Hussars often used to be very thick - up to 9mm. For example in the Museum of the Polish Army in Warsaw you can find 7mm and even 9mm thick original examples.
Also vs balls of anything lighter and of smaller calibre and thus less kinetic energy than musket (like arquebus or pistol) such thick armor could easily protect

Może ten film nie jest mistrzowski i nie ma zajebistych efektów specjalnych, ale gra aktorska i w szczególności ścieżka dźwiękowa stoi na bardzo wysokim poziomie.
Też tak myślę. Potop jest moim zdaniem najlepszym filmem Hofmana. Duża w tym zasługa zdjęć Wójcika. Tu trochę poszedł w efekciarstwo ale nie do końca to wyszło. W każdym razie to najlepszy jego film zrobiony w warunkach "kapitalistycznej" kinematografii. Potem było.juz tylko gorzej

The title is "With Fire and Sword" , in polish : "Ogniem i Mieczem". It's polish movie about cossacks uprising in Polish East territory ,in 1648.
Movie was in cinemas in 1998 or 1999
Not Polish territory but Rzeczpospolita territory.
looks awesome! is this a movie or a series?
Could someone explain the tactic of feigning the attack I never got it was it to tire the hussars out?
exactly that. The poles always had to be on guard since they were the ones defending, the cossacks could take turns on sleeping and just keep feigning it.
By morning the cossacks were rested while the entire hussar force has been up the entire night, same with their horses.
Yes. In addition to tiring the hussars and lowering their morale, it also in the historical battle allowed Togey Bey (crazy Muslim guy in the Magyar-looking armor) to sneak over and successfully convince any cossacks allied with the Poles (there were close to 5000 on the other side in fact) to defect to theirs. As a result, the next day they were able to reverse everything and turn the tide.
legofanguyvid Mushkets of that time were unable to fire under rain, so this feign attack is a fiction, very inaccurately created by the author
Goto love those movies, they manage to fire several rounds of fire against cavalry, before they run back in time to defend, those poles have some slow horses ;) LOL
hehe yepp they usualy do ;) but i do agree with you, films almost never show the real truth, the polish Hussar`s are famous for they`r bravery, they have my respect. :) this movie could easily been made by Mel Gibson.. historical facts.. ?? naa.. lets make hero movie. lol
Trond Kjarnsmo
They can have several muskets ready to shoot.
the Cossacks used a three-line tactic
Dziękuję za link.. Nie rozumiem bardzo dobrze polskie, ale to ciekawe video, wszystkie cztery części :) Can you explain me the meaning of the small back plate, which he had under the fur cloak?
All you said is true, but the idea still stands: if you send your cavalry through thick mud, they are going to get ensnared. It would have been better to keep them reserved at the rear or for them to maneuver around the mud.

You helped me a lot
@ARBIH87 I read that wings were attached to the saddle not the knight, but it's also supposed to depend on time, Hussars also evolved. The film shows that the hussars knights fell off their horses in the mud and trying to be raised to go. It just is not true. Their armor was so heavy that it was necessary to use a crane to plant them on horseback. When one fell off, lying as long as someone did not raise them.
what is the name of the first song at the beginning?
