Valeriy Shevchuk. Enlightened Ruler: Ivan Mazepa as the Constructor of the Cossack State and as a Literary Character.

In the historical investigation, the reader will encounter not just the legendary hetman Ivan Mazepa, but the far not cognized, though the most interesting, maximally close to reality image of the great hetman. His role in development of the Cossack state – that of a statesman and ruler of the Renaissance type – is considered. Mazepa appears as a patron of arts, a builder of churches and monasteries, inspirer and creator of the High Baroque in the Ukrainian culture. The process of creation of Mazepa's literary image – the hero of the Ukrainian and European literatures – is also described. The author's statements are documented with historical sources.
For historians, literary researchers, teachers, students, an extensive circle of readers."
