		Mazepa had no temptations to be anything but loyal, and loyal he would doubtless have remained had not Charles XII.
		Then it was that Mazepa, who had had doubts of the issue of the struggle all along, made up his mind that Charles, not Peter, was going to win, and that it was high time he looked after his own interests.

		Mazepa escaped but was pronounced “the traitor of the nation.” The priests in all the churches of Ukraine (dozens of which were built with donations from Mazepa) who, only a short time before, were regularly praying for the Hetman’s health and well-being, now were forced to anathematize him.
		Mazepa was, no doubt, a charismatic personality whose role in history has been assessed and described differently, from denunciation to extolling.

	Welcome to Ukraine
		Ivan Mazepa is a Ukrainian national hero — or if he is not widely regarded as such, he should be elevated to the status of a national hero.
		Mazepa, however, was able neither to inspire the Ukrainian population to revolt against the Russians nor to supply the Swedes with enough Cossacks to prevent the Russians from inflicting a major defeat upon them at Poltava (June 1709).
		Mazepa himself, who in real life was an astute statesman of vast education, patron of art, is turned by Illenko into semi-insane, wicked, conceited, sneaky buffoon, a character from a primitive show at a fair of the roughest kind, with a great selection of masks to wear.

		Mazepa, as every Ukrainian knows, is famed for switching sides during Peter's long-running war with Sweden in exchange for a promise of Ukrainian independence -- only to watch the Russians crush that dream, along with the Swedes, at Poltava in 1709.
		Mazepa, on the other hand, died in disgraced exile; only in 1992 did the Ukrainian Orthodox Church remove the anathema, or curse of damnation, placed upon him by Peter's order, and only in 1999 were his remains returned from Romania for burial at Baturyn.
		Mazepa does not always seem a font of sanity, either, with much of the movie focusing on his sexual appetites, including an affair with his goddaughter.

	SUMMARY. Oleksander Ohlablyn. Hetman Ivan Mazepa ant his era.
		There is not the slightest doubt that Hetman Ivan Mazepa was totally dedicated to the ideal of Ukrainian statehood, and to the ideal of a united Ukrainian independent state.
		Mazepa in principle was neither a Russophile nor an enemy of Moscow, although he knew well the tragic history of Ukrainian-Russian relations.
		Then Mazepa channeled the Ukrainian state policies to the other course, which, at least theoretically, was always open to him — the break with Moscow, which led to the armed conflict with it.

	PERSPECTIVES: Who was Ivan Mazepa? (10/27/02)
		Ivan Mazepa (1639-1709), of course, was Ukraine's hetman during the reign of Tsar Peter I. For 22 years he did the tsar's bidding and, as a result, became powerful and wealthy, commanding the affection of beautiful women who were decades younger.
		Ukrainians see Mazepa completely differently; his face is on their national currency and postage stamps, and now there's this movie, generously subsidized by the government.
		This was the case with Mazepa, and it turned out to be the case with Leonid Kravchuk, a man who was both enforcer of ideological purity for the empire and the father of Ukraine's independence.

	FILM REVIEW: "A Prayer for Hetman Mazepa" revisited (01/09/05)
		Mazepa then rises from his watery cross, and enveloped in an undulating toga-like, red satin sheet walks off the screen.
		Instead of offering at least a glimpse of Hetman Mazepa in his full glory, if for no reason but to give a greater sense of drama to his fall, the film inundates the audience with a frenzy of action that explains little about the man or the conflict.
		If "A Prayer for Hetman Mazepa" was to have been the one magic product of the new Ukrainian cinema that would impel Ukrainians to rediscover the splendors of their culture and history, then it seems to have missed the mark.
