Just like the Ukraine, so what?
Taras Bulba - the national Ukrainian hero. Learn history, man.
The last words he said when Poles burned him alive:
Quote:
"Fare ye well, comrades!" he called to them from
above. "Remember me, land come hither again next
spring for another glorious raid! How now, you infernal
Poles? Think ye there is aught in the world that can
daunt a Cossack? Wiait! The day will come when you
shall learn what the Orthodox Russian is! Already do
peoples far and near forebode it: there shall arise a rul-
er from Russian soil, and there shall be no power on
earth that shall not yield to him!"
