Would be awesome if you will tell about peak of cossacks in country building when they created a second Europe constitution which made them first european republic of modern type with parliament (Rada) and president (Hetman) and with separate branches of government. This constitution worked for 2 years in modern Vynnizka, Cherkaska, and part of Kievska oblasts of modern Ukraine, from 1711 to 1713. And also it worked in "Oleshkivska Sich" in Crimean Khanate from 1713 to 1733 year.

Fun fact. The biggest shame for a Cossack was to lose his saber and hat. Therefore, in Ukrainian folklore, an absolutely drunk cossack is illustrated completely naked but in a hat and with a saber. Another fun fact. To get to Zaporozhian Sich, a man had to go through a whole ritual. Eating nasty food, riding an untrodden horse, going down the rapids of the Dnieper by boat (a kind of rafting) and others. The dedication ended only with participation in a military campaign and the renaming of the rookie to a Cossack with a corresponding colorful funny nickname, for example, Break a nose, Bite an oak tree, Pull your skin, Bend trouble, Don't drink water. These surnames are still a part of Ukrainian surnames.

Okay, and what would answer Swisslanders or Genuans at nearly same period of history?

The main value of the Cossacks was freedom - the freedom to choose a hetman, to choose a place of life, and the ability to openly express one's opinion. This led to many internal conflicts. And it was this value that created the gulf between the free Cossacks and Russia, where unconditional obedience to the will of the tsar is the basis of the state. The same problem led to war today

Unfortunately at the time both sides had too much animosity towards the other to do so, and were conquered by our more powerful neighbours (this is a long running theme in Ukrainian Polish history). Thankfully today we have learned from our ancestors mistakes. The political partnership build on respect and equality that is already forming will be a powerful force in Europe and bring peace, prosperity, and freedom to the Ukrainian and Polish people.

The problem of constant disagreement among our leadership and their clinging for power despite making Ukraine overall suffer often repeated in our history (in this period, in 1917-1918 and after independence). We even have phrase for that "for two Ukrainians - there are three Hetmans". 2022 probably was the first time when we overcome this problem and set aside our disagreements in the eyes of greater threat.

@@xOdySx quite a strange argument. By the same logic, Allied victory in WWII was pyrrhic as well. After all, Germany, Japan and to lesser extent Italy are rather rich and prosperous countries as well. Should we judge every war by these parameters?

@@comradekapibarchik7997 Germany, Japan and Italy are now allies of the former allied nations. Finnland on the other side definitly isn´t an ally of Russia. So yes, i would consider turning strong enemies into strong allies a victory, and defeating enemies after huge losses, but making sure that they stay hostile for generations a pyrrhic victory.

Incredible video!

Interesting story please keep making more.

Thanks for this video. Extremely interesting

Very interesting, thank you!

Very sad that union of PLC and Cossacks could not work. For sure history would be different.

History is more complicated. A King or a state is not equal to a nation. The nation can exists without kings and state. Ukraine is country without kings, absolute monarchy for 7500 years history. In the Europe after Roman empire collapse local warlords gradually created centralized kingdoms. That means, dinasty not nations defined the states. So, Ukrainian dinasty disappeared in 14th century=no mail heritage. So, the Lithuanian king became Ukraine king too. In 1569 Lithuanian king became Poland king too. So, a new state of three nations=polish+ Lithuanian+Ukrainian was created. It was very advance and powerful state. All three nations were equal, there were no dictatorship or absolute monarchy. The only internal problem was different religion confessions. Still the 300 years of common history is not vanished at all. Now, in this war the closest supporters of Ukraine are Poland and Lithuania+ as heritage of the very first democratic union of European nations.

So the union of the always divided. Ukraine, poland, and lithuania are always invaded by russia and taken off the map.

Awesome Video ,Well done !!

Thank you for the video! Very interesting and informative. Just wonder, why you indicate a name "russia" on the map covering period of 17 century? Since at that time they were called "moscovia" and were renamed to "russia" just in 18 century (although, having little in common to historical Rus)

It's such a shame that even tho Ukraine is Polish neighbor and we have such a long history with each other (even if mostly bad it's our history after all) yet in polish schools they just dont teach us about it. Maybe its because there is so much they can teach us that there is no place for that but still rise of Ukrainian state is such a beautiful story.

Interesting fact that Khmelnytskyi understood the danger of Muscovite Despotism, so he tried to make more Alliances with his neighbors. He wed his eldest son to daughter of Moldovian Voevoda, send envoys to Transsilvania and (if it's not a myth) tried negotiate with HRE members though connects he made in previous Polish campaign in Europe.

Thanks!

Very good video!

Thanks for the wonderful video.

Well, Russia always breaks promises. That's how it is...

Very interesting.

Man, Ottoman arrogance never ceases to amaze me! They've had many chances to expand their empire and make it much richer from the east and west, yet their arrogance and mistakes restricted them of doing so.

Not the arrogance but untrust they had with the crimean tatars, which proved on many occasions. Osman the second wasnt very pleased with jannisarry behaivior on the western balkans so he wanted re organize them but paid the price very badly. It took another 200 years to end jannisary arrogance and disloyality.
