	Mazepa (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Ivan Stepanovych Mazepa descended from Ukrainian nobility from Bila Tserkva district on Pravoberezhya.
		In that department Mazepa did not show adequate consideration or understanding although many events should have drawn his attention in that direction, starting with unrest and rebellions within military and throughout Ukraine against Starshyna.Mazepa and Starshyna tried to subdue the population by fear ; the ringleaders were caught and punished, ranging from flogging to executions.
		Mazepa solved this problem by inviting Paliy to his place, where he was imprisoned, falsely accused of collaboration with Swedes and handed over to tzar Peter, who sent him Siberia.

	Recent Events
		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.

		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.
		At this very time he was in communication with Charles's first minister, Count Piper, and had agreed to harbour the Swedes in the Ukraine and close it against the Russians (Oct. 1708).

	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.

	The art of Halyna Mazepa on view at The Ukrainian Museum (09/03/00)
		Mazepa was an artist whose work embodies the ideas and ideals of her time.
		Her Ukrainian parents, Isaac Mazepa, an agronomist by profession, who became a noted Ukrainian political activist and leader, and Natalia Singalevych Mazepa, a bacteriologist and teacher, took note of their daughter's inclination to draw and paint from an early age and greatly encouraged the development of her budding talent.
		Mazepa died in Caracas, Venezuela, in 1995, leaving a legacy of work that is cherished in many museums and private collections around the world.

		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 sought asylum within the Sultan�s dominions where, in the town of Bender, he died in September of 1709.
		Mazepa was, no doubt, a charismatic personality whose role in history has been assessed and described differently, from denunciation to extolling.

	The New York Review of Books: ARE HETMEN HEROES?
		True, Mazepa was well educated, a patron of the local arts and of the Orthodox Church, and he gave his name to the ornate style known as Cossack Baroque of the many churches built under his aegis.
		Perhaps Mazepa had indeed hoped to create a Ukrainian state, as some Ukrainian historians maintain, but if so, it would have been one, as his reign as hetman suggests, that clearly benefited the rich, and not the mass of the Ukrainian peasants.
		The historical evidence suggests, moreover, that Mazepa's decision to seek the protection of the Swedish monarch was caused by the deterioration of his relationship with the tsar, rather than by any idea of an independent state.

		Slowacki's Mazepa has opinion to be quite distant from the historical facts; its protagonist is the hetman I wrote about; Slowacki dealt primary with M's youth.
		I was in error guessing the historical Mazepa was a Pole by birth - he was a Cosack, even if a Polish (unfaithful) subject; the title of hetman - or ataman - he seems to have usurped as Chmielnicki did.
		The film upon the Mazepa theme I mentioned is by Polish film-avanguardist Walerian Borowczyk living in Paris; the title of the movie in Polish is (I do not know why) 'Biala' (white in feminine; in French it would be Blanche), from 60-70-ies.

	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.

		At the approach of his rival the old hetman hastened to the Swedish outposts at Horki, in Severia.
		He instantly commanded Menshikov to get a new hetman elected and raze Baturin, Mazepas chief stronghold in the Uktaine, to the ground.

		During the 1660s and 1670s Mazepa's transfer of loyalty between rival hetmans contributed to the complex and prolonged warfare (that continued into the 1680s) among the Turks, Russians, Poles, and various Cossack factions for control of the Ukraine.
		Mazepa subsequently succeeded the established hetman of the Ukraine (1687) and fought against the Crimean Tatars (1689).
		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).

		In this struggle, Mazepa becomes for Ukrainians the messenger of liberation, the promise of a regained national and human dignity.

		In May 1932, the National Museum, owing to the energy and dedication of its long-time director Ilarion Sventsytsky, drew public attention to Mazepa's spectacular figure, although there is nothing on record about what was actually on display at the time, except the hetman's own Bible still at the museum.
