Bogdan Khmelnytsky is one of the great war epic films. It's not as famous as Alexander Nevsky, but it's still great. In addition, it stays more in the real history. In the 17th century, Ukraine was enslaved by Poland for several centuries. For decades, there has been almost always a war between the Tatars, Poles, and Cossacks. Finally, the Poles decided to eliminate the Ukrainians. But for a period of time, Cossacks lived in Ukraine. True Cossacks, they are brave, upright, and loyal to brotherhood. You can even become a Tatar or Polish, but if you become orthodox and love freedom, they will accept you like their brothers. You just shouldn't drink "gorilka" after the Cossack sets off to confront the enemy. Perhaps they may seem interesting to the Western public, but you can find many great deeds and sacrifices in this movie.
