In 2009, on the 300th anniversary of his death, the world community comes together to celebrate his life and achievements that captured the imagination of many renown individuals, like Lord Byron, Voltaire and Victor Hugo.

 

Hetman Ivan Mazepa had the courage to join forces with Sweden against Peter the Great in order to liberate the Ukrainian nation from imperialist Russia.  He dared to stand up and fight for the rights of his people, and in historic perspective, in defense of Europe.  Mazepa not only initiated Ukraine’s independence movement which came to successful fruition in 1991, but also paved the way for the creation of the world’s first modern democratic constitution, the constitution of Pylyp Orlyk in 1710, which preceded both the American and French constitutions.  Unfortunately, these facts were misconstrued by intellectually dishonest historians, both Czarist Russian and Soviet.

 

During the Year of Mazepa, let us reflect on Ukraine’s history, and with this anniversary, begin to fully expose the truth about Mazepa.  We in Canada must ensure that the commemoration of this important anniversary, both in Ukraine and its Diaspora, be done on an appropriate level.
