for polish people, it seems obvious that ukraine is a completely different country and culture than russia. however, having read the book, a lot of reflections came to my mind. eventually i started thinking of making a film about the birth of the ukrainian nation. this fascinating lecture, this trip to the past centuries brought me new emotions, feelings and experiences. now i want to share them with you .
the first part of the four - part series « the ukraine. the birth of a nation » spans the period from ancient times till the end of the xviii century. the beginning of the film focuses round the ukrainian declaration of independence in 1991 and the celebrations surrounding the13th anniversary of that event. jerzy hoffman’s team were eager to find out whether the issue of the country’s independence would have been solved as unanimously as in 1991, when over 90% of the population said “yes” to independence. various opinions on the subject were recorded though nobody could predict that three months the kyiv maydan would leave no doubts whatsoever on the issue .
synopsis in the 1920s the territory of present - day ukraine was partitioned by poland and soviet russia. during world war two, ukraine was occupied by the third reich. in 1943 at the teheran conference, stalin handed over to poland the ethnic ukrainian lands west of the boh river, known as zakerzonnia, home to nearly one million ukrainians. to protect ukrainians and their land, the organization of ukrainian nationalists (oun) created a clandestine network of operatives and military units. one of these units was a company of the ukrainian insurgent army led by mykhailo duda - hromenko. based on a real life situation in western ukraine and eastern poland, the film “company of heroes” narrates the dramatic events of ukrainian resistance in 1944 - 1947 .
the historical part of the film opens with the vast panorama of the steppe and the dnieper, the two elements that have determined the lives of the inhabitants of those lands for many centuries. the introduction of christianity in 988 and the formation of a powerful state – kyiv rus marked the beginning euro - centric history for the eastern slavs. paradoxically, 250 years later, after the tartar - mongol invasion the state of kyiv rus ceased to exist, it was that very mongol occupation that induced the formation of three nations – the ukrainians, the russians and the byelorussians. european influences were to regain influence when the ukrainian lands were occupied by the poles and lithuanians and annexed by the rzeczpospolita of the two nations. kyiv returned to its former splendour and, owing to petro mohyla and others, ukrainian culture would develop in tandem to european culture .

in a parched land dotted with iron structures, a simpleminded water deliverer unexpectedly runs into a markedly shabby angel, but there’s no communicating with him. he puts the angel into a cage and an oddly decked out crowd gathers around it. however, the apparition of an angel says nothing to them, so they abandon themselves to jubilant merrymaking .
parched land broken up by iron structures. here, a simple - minded water deliverer unexpectedly runs into a terribly pitiful angel with drooping wings, but there’s no communicating with him. he puts god’s messenger, now an apathetic wreck, into a cage in order to share him with his fellow countrymen. crowds of people decked out in carnival gear rush to see the fairground curiosity, but the angel’s presence means nothing to them. out of boredom they abandon themselves to jubilant merrymaking which soon develops into an uninhibited orgy... . this feature debut by a young director oscillates between fairground spectacle and the parable implied by the motif: a man found and killed his angel by rashly throwing him to a gluttonous crowd incapable of compassion, indifferent to mystery. the strange mystique and ambiguity of the event is strengthened by the poetic expression of the image .

the famous wild field bordering on the crimean khanate gave birth to the cossack phenomenon. in 1552 dmytro vyshnevetsky - bayda founded the zaporizhian sich – free cossacks’ community. a little less than 100 years later, after fierce battles with poland, hetman bohdan khmelnytsky established a cossack state called the zaporizhian army, which, according to the pereyaslav treaty, would be incorporated into russia but maintain its autonomy. although, in the event, independence was not preserved, the memory of khmelnytsky and their own independent state has constituted a fundamental myth for the contemporary ukraine, while the valiant cossack served as a central figure in the national consciousness of the ukrainians .
hetman ivan mazepa was the last figure to try to regain ukrainian independence. but the russia of peter the first proved to be too powerful, and mazepa was defeated, despite having formed an alliance with sweden. empress catherine ii finalized the process of dismantling an autonomous ukraine: she annulled the remnants of the cossack autonomy and, in 1775, abolished the zaporizhian sich .
the second part of the four - part series « the ukraine. the birth of a nation » spans the period from the late xviii century till the beginning of the xx century; the time between the french revolution and world war i, the so - called «long xix century», a comparatively peaceful period in eastern europe following the napoleonic wars. at that time, intellectual nationalist movements started to form in the romanov and habsburg empires; they proclaimed ideas of self - sufficiency and national identity. the xix century is the century of the nations of the present - day eastern europe, the century when the contemporary ukrainian nation was born .
upon the abolition of the hetmanate and the zaporizhian sich the cossacks ceased to exist as a class, and many of their descendants became assimilated to imperial society. at the court in saint petersburg they were awarded positions of chancellors, marshals and ministers, or, like nikolai gogol, entered into history as outstanding russian writers. a new class was formed in the ukraine – the intelligentsia, who would preserve ukrainian traditions and inspire the modernization processes: the struggle for civil rights and the cultural autonomy of the ukrainians both in the russian and the austrian empires .
the growing consciousness of national identity and the ensuing tension between the suppressed and the dominant nations in eastern europe turned out to be one of the crucial causes for the outbreak of world war i in 1914. on the other hand, the class conflict that had been imminent for many years, together with the horrors of the war and general misfortune, resulted in the bolshevick revolution in russia in 1917. in 1918 the ukraine declared independence, with professor mykhaylo hrushevsky as its spokesman. independence was defended for three years by the forces of chieftain petlura, hetman skoropadsky and the ukrainian galician army. unfortunately, the strength and aggression of neighbouring states, together with internal discord, brought all those efforts to naught. the ukraine emerged from the chaos of the war and the revolution not as an independent entity but as a part of the soviet russia, poland, rumania and czechoslovakia. had the ukrainian revolution been utterly defeated? history was to show that those enormous efforts had not been wasted .
the third part of the four - part series « the ukraine. the birth of a nation » spans the period from the 1921 riga peace treaty which marked the cessation of hostilities in eastern europe up to the yalta conference in 1945, which re - drew state borders and determined the zones of influence in europe after the second world war .
the polish - bolshevick war of 1920 caused the greatest change in state borders in eastern europe. the bolshevick government formed the ukrainian soviet socialist republic from the lands of central, eastern and southern ukraine. in 1922 that republic incorporated into the soviet union. the remainder was annexed by poland, czechoslovakia and rumania .
the totalitarian regime of the soviet union subjected ukrainians to a period of intense social engineering, the results of which became engraved in the structure and mentality of the ukrainian people. the new economic policy (nep) provided relative freedom in the economy and trade, as well as comparative well - being in towns and villages. the policy of «ukrainization» brought about an unprecedented surge in national consciousness, and in many ways the ukraine became into a fully fledged, consolidated nation. but the 30s were marked by a dramatic change in politics, and all the important gains of the previous decade were crushed. «the great transformations» did create a huge industrial potential in the ukraine – but at the price of exterminating the nationally conscious elites of the country, cultural and agrarian, who were either executed or exiled to the gulags. the ukrainian village lost its traditional character in the course of collectivization, during which small hold farms were turned into collective farms, and the farmer himself became apathetic .
other fates were to meet those ukrainians who happened to become citizens of poland, czechoslovakia and rumania. the most freedom was given to them by the government in prague, while warsaw and bucharest resorted to a policy of assimilation. nevertheeless, ukrainians in halychyna (galicia) managed to gain undeniable successes in cultural, social and economic spheres. unfortunately, polish - ukrainian relations in the poland of the 30s were overshadowed by the conflict between the growing tendencies towards autocracy and ethnocentricity among the polish power base, on the one hand, and the nationalistic radicalism of the ukrainian underground oun (organization of the ukrainian nationalists), on the other hand. escalation of the conflict into acts of extreme violence occured took place in volyn and halychyna in 1943 – 1944 .
the ukraine suffered unprecedented losses during the world war ii. millions of the ukrainians were killed on both the sides of the frontline – as soldiers of the allies, german units, communist guerilla detachments, or the ukrainian insurgent army. about 700 towns and over 28, 000 villages were destroyed in the ukraine. losses among the civilian population amounted to 5. 5 million .
however, not all the results of the second world war were as disastrous. for the sake of propaganda and in order to preserve the appearance of sovereignty, stalin introduced the ukraine to the uno as a founder member. but the most significant point was the fact that the territories, that had been the parts of poland, czechoslovakia and rumania before the war, fell within the state borders of the ukrainian ssr. in that fashion, for the first time in many centuries, the ukrainian lands became reunite
the nuclear disaster in chernobyl in 1986 caused a shock, which turned into an important catalyst for the collapse of the soviet union. the policy of “ perestroika ” and “ glasnost ” proclaimed by mikhail gorbachev went beyond its prescribed limits. the nationally conscious democratic opposition in the union’s republics, together with the party elite, promptly proclaimed independence in the ruins of the soviet union. the ukrainian parliament announced the declaration of ukraine’s independence in august 1991, and in december of the same year over 90% of the soviet ukraine’s population confirmed their support of the proclamation in a general referendum; ukraine’s independence became a fact; a week later the soviet union ceased to exist .
the great euphoria of independence was soon supplanted by pessimism caused by the difficulties of transformation. although the ukraine did succeed in establishing itself on the international arena as an independent state, its political system did not avoid certain striking weaknesses. the attempt to falsify the results of presidential election in 2004 induced the outbreak of the orange revolution. millions of people all over ukraine rose against the authorities’ abuse of power to express their will to live in a truly free and democratic country. will the orange revolution change the ukraine for long? will the ideas of kyiv’s maydan set a positive model for people and power? the development of events in the near future will provide the answer .
in spring 2004 i accidentally read a book written by the then president leonid kuczma titled ‘ukraine is not russia’. the title surprised me .
