Taras Kalyandruk. Tajemnytsi boyovykh mystetstv Ukrajiny. /sixth edition, extended/. (Secrets of Martial Arts of Ukraine)

"The book is focused on martial arts of Ukrainians and is the first comprehensive study of this topic from the perspective of a contemporary researcher. The author examines martial arts of Bogatyrs, Plastuns, Cossacks, and other warriors. The original martial culture of our ancestors, which for thousands of years helped them to protect the native land against enemies, comes to life on the book's pages. Approximately 400 images from rare sources are represented here, the majority of them till recently remained scarcely explored.
The book will be of interest for historians, researchers in cultural studies, defenders of the state, and all who are interested to know about martial arts of Ukrainians."
