	Cossack Rebellion under Daniel Chmelnicki, 1648-1655
		His position therefore was more precarious than that of his Polish counterparts, and the size of the rebellion is at least to the same amount to be credited to the circumstances which caused the Cossacks to rebel than to Chmielnicki's charismatic leadership.
		Chmielnicki probably was the greatest leader in Cossack history.
		The, in hindsight provoked and unnecessary Cossack rebellion was immediately followed by the Deluge, a period in which Poland-Lithuania not only faced war against Russia, but the firstr major Swedish invasion, which marked the beginning of a long decline.

	Central Europe Review - Kinoeye: The Empire Strikes Back
		These two films, made during the Communist era when national pride was at a low point, won Polish hearts with depictions of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, considered by Poles to be the golden era of their history.
		Hoffman's name has been intimately connected with that of Sienkiewicz, ever since he made Pan Wolodyjowski (Mr Wolodyjowski, 1967-69) and Potop (Deluge, 1974) - adaptations of the third and second parts of the trilogy of which Ogniem i mieczem forms the first book.
		However, the film comes at a time when Polish-Ukrainian relations are already tense and any recreation of Sienkiewicz's novel, no matter how sensitively made, is bound to infuriate Ukrainians.
