Edition in a dust jacket
Once, when rivers did not yet know dams, and steppes — borders, in the very heart of Europe, at the crossroads of empires and free spaces, a free nation of warriors was born. They were called Cossacks.
A Cossack is not just a horseman with a saber. It is a choice. To be free, even when tyrants rule around. To choose honor over profit. The steppe — instead of walls ...
They had no king. They had no master. Their state was the Sich — a wooden fortress in the middle of the wild steppe, held together only by brotherhood, freedom, and the sword.
The Cossacks defended their land from Turks, Tatars, and Muscovites. But at the same time, they caught fish, sang songs, honored women, and read the stars. They wore mustaches, crosses on their necks, and topknots on shaved heads — as a vow of the spirit. They were sons of the earth and sky, brothers of fire and water.
And among them were special ones — those who possessed not only the sword but also secret knowledge. They were called charakternyky — mystical warriors. Something between shamans, monks, and magicians. They entered trance, healed, spoke with nature, and foretold the future. According to legends — they feared no bullet, breathed underwater, spoke with the wind, and knew the language of animals. They could not be killed — because they already lived halfway on the other side.
