We invite the residents of Zaporizhzhia and guests of the city to the lecture

“THE PHENOMENON OF THE ZAPOROZHZHIA COSSACKS” already this Saturday – November 16.

Ukrainian historian Dmytro Doroshenko wrote: “Cossacks are not only the most brilliant and effective phenomenon of Ukrainian history, it also represents the day of the greatest tension of the forces of the Ukrainian people and its state, social and cultural creativity”.

Learn more about the phenomenon of Zaporozhzhia Cossacks, which is one of the main factors of Ukrainians’ self-identification.

Why did the Wild Field give birth to the Zaporozhians? What do Zaporozhzhia Cossacks, Vikings and Samurai have in common? Why did the picture of the Cossack Mamai hang in the Ukrainian house? Would Ukraine exist without Cossacks, and how did the Khortytsia Island save Zaporizhzhia?

Serhiy DUDARENKO, one of the leading specialists of the Khortytsia National Reserve, is ready to answer these and other questions.

The lecture will be held on November 16, 2024 (Saturday) at 11:00 in the Museum Studios “The City Beyond the Rapids”, at the address, Zaporizhzhia, Tsentralnyi Boulevard, 3 (2nd floor of the “House of Shoes”).

The event is FREE!
