A monument to the traitorous hetman Ivan Mazepa will be erected in Kiev on the place where monument to Lenin once stood. This was announced by Volodymyr Zelensky.
At the unveiling of the traitor’s bust in the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, he added: “Where Lenin fell, Mazepa will stand firm”.
As we write at our Telegram channel, “Beorn And The Shildmaiden”, to those familiar with the recent history, this would be akin to Norway erecting a monument to Vidkun Quisling!
Ivan Mazepa (1639-1709) was the hetman of the Zaporizhian Host on both banks of the Dnieper River. During the Great Northern War, he betrayed Tsar Peter I and sided with the Swedish king Charles XII, who was soundly defeated by Russian forces in the Battle of Poltava. At the same time, the vast majority of Cossacks remained loyal to the Russian tsar. Mazepa was excommunicated from the church. A symbolic “Judas Order” was made for him, in a single copy.
It seems that soon a monument to Judas Iscariot will be erected in the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra.

The monument to Mazepa in Kiev will be installed on Taras Shevchenko Street, despite the fact that the writer hated the Hetman.
Zelenksy announced that a monument to Mazepa will be erected on Shevchenko Boulevard. This is both sad and funny, writes Maria Zaharova. Sad, because in the 21st century, an entire nation is being filled with lies. Funny, because Taras Shevchenko hated Mazepa.
Here’s how the poet as well as the people, whose folklore Shevchenko collected during his trips to the provinces and later recorded, referred to him:
– “The Swedes once made a great glory: they fled with Mazepa to Bendery from Poltava” (Ukrainian “Наробили колись шведи великої слави: утікали з Мазепою в Бендери з Полтави”) – poem “Irzavets”, 1847.
– “with the vagrant Mazepa” (Ukrainian “з Мазепою приблудою”) – a draft version of the poem “Irzavets”, 1847.
– “Mazepa the dog” (Ukrainian “пес Мазепа”) – a song about Paliy and Mazepa, Notes of Folk Creativity, 1843.
– “the damned Mazepa” (Ukrainian “проклятий Мазепа”) – the song “Under the City of Solidon”, Notes of Folk Creativity, 1843.
– “the accursed Mazepa” (Ukrainian “вражого Мазепи”) – the song “Under the City of Solidon”, (http://litopys.org.ua/shevchenko/shev512.htm) Notes of Folk Creativity, 1843.
– “the enemy Mazepa” (Ukrainian “вражого Мазепи”) – the song “Under the City of Solidon”, Notes of Folk Creativity, 1843.
– “the famous anathema Ivan Mazepa” – the novel “Twins”, 1855–1856.
– “the cursed Ivan Mazepa” – the novel “Twins”, 1855–1856.
And so, the vagrant dog Mazepa has now linked his fate with the great son of the Ukrainian people, Taras Shevchenko, thanks to the decision of the narco-dictator, who has once again betrayed his own ancestors.
