    The 3 Hungers of Ukraine

    Ukraine has suffered from 3 major famines in the 20th century: 1921-1923, the Holodomor of 1932-1933 and the post-war famine of 1946-1947. And while the first and last did have environmental factors that contributed to the famine, it was the policies of the Bolsheviks and Soviets that led to the death of millions of people, who could have lived if it weren't for their ruthless and stupid agricultural policies. Find out about how did these famines start, how many were affected and how it effected the Ukrainians in this latest episode of Wandering the Edge.

    Ivan Kotliarevsky - the First Modern Ukrainian Writer

    Ivan Kotliarevsky (1769-1838) was the first modern Ukrainian writer who wrote in actual Ukrainian. His parody "Eneida" followed some rowdy Ukrainian Cossacks on their journey to/from Troy. His other works included the great play - "Natalka Poltavka", which was the last play performed at the Kyiv Opera Theatre before the 2022 invasion. Kotliarevsky was also a military veteran and even mobilized his fellow Ukrainians against Napoleon in 1812! How did he influence Ukrainian literary history? Why was he so cool and such a great party guest? Find out in this episode of Wandering the Edge!

    Kholodny Yar - a Rebellious Regional Republic

    The Kholodny Yar area of Ukraine is a beautiful ancient forest filled with whimsy - but also a long history of rebellion and insurrection. From the 1700s with the Haidamak brigands to the early 20th century insurgents who first used the term "Glory to Ukraine" - this was the region of folk heroes, successful insurgent armies and severe repercussions. Find out more about this region and its link to the modern Ukrainian Armed Forces in this episode of Wandering the Edge!

    The Great Hetman of Ukraine - Bohdan Khmelnytsky Part 2

    Hetman Bohdan Khmelnytsky was a powerful figure in Ukrainian history and an influence in European politics in the second half of the 1600's. His most controversial act was signing an agreement with the Russian Tsar, the consequences of which have reverberated into modern Ukraine. His legacy is also shadowed by Cossack actions against the Jews and the Catholics. How has Khmelnytsky been remembered throughout the centuries and what has been his impact and influence on Ukrainian history? Find out in this latest episode of Wandering the Edge!

    1. JUL.

    The Great Hetman of Ukraine - Bohdan Khmelnytsky Part 1

    Bohdan Khmelnytsky (1595-1657) could have been a minor Cossack noble and a small footnote in Ukrainian history until some soap opera level drama shook his life and at the age of 50 he led an uprising that would shake the entire Eastern European political and military landscape. What were his motivations and why did the other Cossacks follow his lead (and elect him Hetman)? And what were the reactions from those kingdoms and empires around the Cossacks?
