The life of Ivan Sirko is wrapped in legends and full of stunning adventures. He was born as an extraordinary child with a special gift of "harakternytstvo", which helped him win many victories, and above all – over himself. Hard trials only tempered his spirit and body. Ivan Sirko turned out the winer of all heroic battles. Having taken the chieftain's mace in his hands, he faithfully served his native land. There was nobody comparable to him among all Cossacks..."
