Кобзар 2015

Based on Taras Shevchenko's poem "Behind the bayrak bayrak" from the cycle "In the casemate". In the last third of the 18th century the hetman concluded an alliance with the Turks, intending to seize the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth with their help. As a sign of gratitude to the Turks, the hetman's people drove entire villages of their own tribesmen and sold them into slavery to Kafa. At the same time, the leader of Sichi, having learned about this, ordered to find and punish the traitors of his people. Chicken Cossacks overtook three hundred slave traders near one farm, where they were cut into pieces, stripped of their body crosses and thrown into the river so that the Ukrainian land would not accept traitors.
