Well, it has some vibe of it, but songs are really different, especially in case of lyrics :)

@@the_last_legionnaire both mention a Cossack leaving their home of Ukraine I'm very sure.

Интересно почему тут не кто не писал? Ну ладно я напишу . В общем я не понимаю Украинский но музыка звучит шикарна ( как для фона ) ...

От якраз ця пісня росіянам повинна бути зрозуміла.

[@the_last_legionnaire]

Да, очень даже хорошая песня, мне самому сильно нравится)

*Russian song. Russian army fought against Ottomans, not 'ukraine': no 'ukraine' existed till 1991, certainly not in 18th century, it was called Malorussia back then. And Cossacks had nothing to do with polonized Galicians from Lwow, core of 'ukrainian nation' (created by Austrians/Germans)

[@benlittle8922]

Cossacks were Ukrainian based

[@pumpkinspicecat650]

So the Ukrainian SSR also didn't exist?

[@mf2442]

What about the Cossacks in Zaporozhia who spoke Ukrainian in the 18th Century? Lol.And what about the Kingdom of Galicia and Volhynia? Ukrainians who lived in the region of Ukraine have spoken Ukrainian for hundreds if not a thousand years now. Except it was called Ruthenian before and foreign influence turned it into Ukrainian

[@user-qf7ky1vh3w]

Word "Ukraine" existed since 1187.

Bro, you can’t just create a nation from nothing. Even if you could - it would collapse in the first week when things got bad.
