What was life like for a 17th-century Cossack warrior?
In short: In 1676, the Zaporozhian Cossacks were among Europe's most feared military forces. This video follows a soldier named Stepan to explore the daily realities and political tensions facing these warriors.
Set against the backdrop of the Dnipro river, the video examines the life of Stepan, a soldier attempting to maintain battalion order during a period of intense power struggles. Although a treaty had recently concluded hostilities between the Ottoman Empire and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the atmosphere for the Zaporozhian Cossacks remained fraught with tension as they fought to regain their independence.
