Bohdan Khmelnytsky: The Cossack Hetman who shaped Ukraine's history. From his leadership in the 17th century to his enduring legacy, Khmelnytsky remains an iconic figure. In this illustration from Henryk Sienkiewicz's 'With Fire and Sword, ' we catch a glimpse alongside Tuhay Bey, showcasing their alliance during turbulent times. Another depiction captures a historic moment at Lviv, where Khmelnytsky stands with Tuhay Bey once again, symbolizing unity amidst adversity. The powerful speech by Boyar Vasili Buturlin at the Rada of Pereyaslav echoes the influence of Khmelnytsky's reign even in later years. His son Yurii also left his mark as Hetman, as seen in an anonymous portrait that immortalizes him for posterity. A striking monument dedicated to Bohdan Khmelnytsky stands tall today, honoring his role as a fearless leader and champion of the Cossacks' cause. As we explore Kiev's rich heritage, we encounter Saint Sophia and Askold's Grave before coming face-to-face with yet another majestic statue paying homage to this remarkable historical figure.
