Ivan Mazepa is a renowned Ukrainian leader who made significant contributions to the flourishing of Ukrainian culture and the Cossack state in the late 17th century. Because of his desire for Ukraine's freedom from Muscovy, Mazepa aligned himself with the Swedish king Charles XII in a war against the Russian tsar Peter I, ultimately losing the decisive battle near Poltava in seventeen o nine

However, in the 19th century, Mazepa became a prominent cultural figure. George Gordon Byron, Victor Hugo, Juliusz Słowacki, Franz Liszt, and Eugène Delacroix created poems, musical compositions, and paintings depicting him as a young man, a political and sexual rebel. This portrayal of Mazepa gained popularity globally, reaching as far as South Africa and the United States.

We delved into this story with Tony Voss, a South African university professor, Professor Emeritus and research associate of the University of Kwazulu-Natal, Durban, and Nelson Mandela University, Gqeberha, South Africa

Host: Volodymyr Yermolenko, a Ukrainian philosopher, the chief editor of UkraineWorld, and the president of PEN Ukraine.

SHAMAN - НЕБО СЛАВЯН - 2025

Lyrics

Звездопад да рокот зарниц
Starfall and roller rods

Грозы седлают коней
Thunderstorms saddle horses

Но над землёй тихо льётся покой Монастырей
But above the earth quietly pours peace 

А поверх седых облаков
And on top of the gray-haired clouds

Синь, соколиная высь
Xin, falcon-height

Здесь, под покровом небес
Here, under the cover of heaven

Мы родились
We were born

След оленя лижет мороз
The deer licks the frost


Гонит добычу весь день
Drives the booty all day

the smoke of the villages
Но стужу держит в узде

I hung out the snowdrifts of the snowstorm
Дым деревень

the daughter of the white -toothed winter
Намела сугробов пурга

here, in the extuum of snow
Дочь белозубой зимы

we have grown
Здесь, в окоёме снегов

Выросли мы
we have grown


Нас точит семя орды
The seed of the horde sharpens us

Нас гнёт ярмо басурман
We are oppressed by Yarmo Basurman

Но в наших венах кипит
But in our Vienna boils

Небо славян!
The sky of the Slavs!

И от Чудских берегов
And from the worldly shores

До ледяной Колымы
To icy Kolyma

Всё это наша земля!
All this is our Earth!

Всё это мы!
All this is us!

За бугром куют топоры
The axes for the hillock

Буйные головы сечь
Riotous heads Sich

Но инородцам кольчугой звенит
But the foreigners ring the chain mail

Русская речь
Russian speech

И от перелеска до звёзд
And from the ripe to the stars

Высится Белая рать
The white army stands out

Здесь, на родной стороне
Here, on the native side

Нам помирать
We will die

Нас точит семя орды
We sharpen the seed of the horde

Нас гнёт ярмо басурман
We are oppressed by Yarmo Basurman

Но в наших венах кипит
But in our veins he boils

Небо славян!
The sky of the Slavs!

И от Чудских берегов
And from the worldly shores

До ледяной Колымы
To icy Kolyma

Всё это наша земля!
All this is our Earth!

Всё это мы!
All this is us!

Нас точит семя орды
The seed of the horde sharpens us

Нас гнёт ярмо басурман
We are oppressed by Yarmo Basurman

Но в наших венах кипит
But in our veins he boils

Небо славян!
The sky of the Slavs!


И от Чудских берегов
And from the worldly shores

До ледяной Колымы
To ice Kolyma

Всё это наша земля!
All this is our earth!

Всё это мы!
All this is us!

Всё это наша земля!
All this is our Earth!

Всё это мы!
All this is us!

Всё это наша земля!
All this is our Earth!

Всё это мы!
All this is us!

This week, the Hamas/Israel ceasefire collapsed after Israeli forces launched an air and ground assault in Gaza, while the U.S. Navy engaged al-Houthi targets in Yemen. Russia and Ukraine agreed to a 30-day cessation of attacks on energy infrastructure, while Russian missile and drone attacks continued across Ukraine. In the Indo-Pacific, reports emerged that the U.S. Department of Energy designated South Korea as a “sensitive country,” potentially hindering its technology cooperation with the U.S., while the Trump administration tightened sanctions against Chinese importers of Iranian oil.
