Taras Barabash. Bohdan Khmelnytsky.

"Bohdan Khmelnytsky is an outstanding figure in the Ukrainian history. It is hard to find a historical figure who would receive so many conflicting assessments by his/her contemporaries and descendants. Polish historians called Khmelnytsky "the traitor" only, ambitious and treacherous, in Soviet historiography he was presented as a champion of "the reunion of fraternal people", which completely ignores his state-building activities. So who really was he, Bohdan-Zynoviy Khmelnytsky? What did he do for his state, for the Cossacks, and for the people? We leave it up to our dear readers to answer these questions..."
