Description: "In this groundbreaking study, Dr. Plokhy provides answers to many questions pertaining to the political and religious culture of Ukrainian Cossackdom, as reflected in the Cossack era paintings, icons and woodcuts. By encouraging the iconography to "speak," Tsars and Cossacks helps to broaden and deepen our understanding of Ukrainian iconography, as well as Russian imperial political culture."--BOOK JACKET.
