Аннотация
Ukrainian Cossacks and their origins have a long and rich literature. From its origins to the present day, this loud, spectacular and most entertaining phenomenon in Ukrainian life has quickly attracted the attention of foreigners seeking to understand the history of this original Cossack element. Since the last quarter of the 16th century, many more or less comprehensive notes, studies and treatises have appeared on the history of the Cossacks and their origins.
The book now offered is an extract from volume 7 of my History of Ukraine, published in the summer of 1909, and accurately summarises the first five chapters of that volume with some abbreviations (the more significant abbreviations are noted in the appropriate places). The general social conditions under which the Ukrainian Cossacks came into being are discussed in Volume V of the same History, and the cultural and national themes that influenced the later Cossack programme are discussed in Volume VI. More specialised literature and references can be found in the relevant sections of the text.
