Мазепа. Право на шаблю

A prominent Cossack figure romanticized in European culture: Voltaire, Hugo, Liszt, and Byron were inspired by his image. Even during the hetman's life, the russian tsar unleashed an information war against Mazepa; for the fourth century, moscow curses him, and Ukrainians praise him. Who is he? A hero of his homeland, a traitor, a romantic lover? This book attempts to take another look at what we know about Mazepa, his considerable role in the history of Europe, his difficult decisions, and his bright life.
