But soon the Cossacks advanced again towards our lines and opened fire. The reply of our guns was so strong and accurate that the lead echelon moved backwards quickly, responding with only a few isolated shots.

The Cossack command had prepared a series of echelons which it dispatched from Khortiz station in support of the first train. But the first train, moving backwards rapidly, collided with one of the support trains, knocking both trains off the rails. The collision was so violent that many wagons were destroyed and people and horses were killed. The Cossack command was forced to withdraw all the echelons remaining at Khortiz station back towards Nikopol'. At the same time they appointed a delegation of about 40 men, mostly Cossacks, to treat with us.

Later the same day, cossacks and men in camouflage carrying what they called "the blood of Donbas children" in a jar broke into the center. Writing on its Facebook page, the center's employees wrote: "Sorry, we can't answer phone calls, because we are being attacked. Who came: a deputy with a "jar of blood", people in camouflage and cossacks. They are shouting "Save Russia".

But the thought of these men dressed in traditional black and red garb riding through the streets on horseback has raised some discomfort among residents, who associate Cossacks with xenophobic attacks against Jews in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The Cossacks - scholars believe the word comes from the Turkic word kazak, meaning free man or horseman - prided themselves on their independence. They had their own self-governing communities in Russia's Don River Basin, by the Dnestr River in Ukraine, and in western Kazakstan that can be traced back several centuries.

"In my opinion, the Bandidos shouldn't be able to move around freely anywhere in this country right now," Cook said. "Law enforcement ought to be all over these guys anywhere they go. They've definitely earned a target on their back."

On 8 November 1708 Mazepa went over to the Swedes. Prince Fedor Iu. Romodanovskii, the chief of thetsar's political police, evidently taken by surprise, fainted on hearing the news. But such hopes as Charles XII may have had of being presented bythe hetman with an immediate numerical superiority over the Russians were quickly disappointed. Mazepa, although he had the support of three colonelsand the quartermaster-general Ivan Lomykovs'kyi, was able to bring with him only between three and five thousand men instead of the expected 20,000.Many of those who originally accompanied Mazepa later went back to the Russians. However, in March of the following year Mazepa and the hetman of theZaporozhian (Sich) Cossacks, Kost' Hordienko, pledged support to one another and Charles XII promised both leaders his protection until the liberationof Ukraine and the Zaporozh'e on condition that in return the local inhabitants keep to their quarters and deliver supplies to the Swedish army. Theseveral thousand Zaporozhians who joined the Swedes were used for the construction of earthworks before Poltava, besieged by Charles XII from April1709. Peter I complained that by attracting the Swedes into Ukraine in the first place, Mazepa had enabled the hungry and exhausted Swedes toregain some of their strength, whereas if they had stayed in the region of Smolensk they would have been destroyed by the Russians. Instead, confusionhad been sown in the tsar's army. But the position of Charles XII was far worse than that of the Russians; the latter-day Viking and his men werevirtually stranded in the fertile but sparsely colonized and inhospitable steppe and about to be exposed to the rigours of an exceptionally severewinter before meeting their doom at Poltava in the summer of 1709. Mazepa and his Cossacks did not take part in the great battle and those on theopposite side were posted in outlying positions as a precaution against a Swedish retreat towards the west. Only Palii, restored to favour, was,according to the traditional belief taken up by Pushkin, present on the battlefield, infirm and supported by two Cossacks. The tsar had had himrecalled from exile in November 1708; a year later he was back in Bela Tserkov. As colonel of a regiment of volunteers in the service of the newleft-bank hetman, Ivan Skoropads'kyi, he resumed his nefarious practices which were cut short by his death early in 1710. Mazepa's treason, one ofthe greatest fiascos in modern history, misfired because the traitor had taken for granted Swedish military superiority, spontaneous support from theleft-bank Cossacks and the arrival, at the head of an army, of Leszczyński who, instead, lingered in Greater Poland. The dilatoriness of the commanderof a Swedish corps, General E. D. von Krassow, in moving from Polish Prussia towards Ukraine was rivalled by the inertia of Jan Sapieha, Leszczyński'sappointee as grand hetman of Lithuania, who did not budge from Brest. Moreover, when it came to the choice between loyalty to the Orthodox tsar on theone hand and on the other to the lordly Mazepa, the captor of Palii allied to the Lutheran Swedes and the Catholic Poles, the majority of the Cossacksopted for Muscovy as did the bulk of the civilian population. It was not long before, in many places, peasants and townspeople set about harassing theinvader. The reprisals brought about by Mazepa's desertion destroyed a good part of the material base of Cossackdom. In November the Russians underMenshikov stormed Mazepa's fortified headquarters on the Left Bank at Baturyn, sacked it and wiped out the garrison; in May 1709 they destroyed thestronghold of the Zaporozhian Cossacks, the Sich, and massacred its defenders. The surviving Zaporozhians moved their headquarters to a new site onTatar territory, Oleshky (on the Dnieper, not far from Kherson). Mazepa, having crossed into Ottoman territory after the defeat of the Swedes atPoltava, died at Bendery on the night of 2/3 October 1709. His end was not the tragic downfall of a noble and superior being but rather the lapse of ahabitual double-dealer who slithered down the slope of deception into outright treason. Having ensnared Palii and duped Orlik and having previouslydeceived himself into believing that the Cossacks would follow him in a body, he abandoned the tsar and was later probably ready in turn to desertCharles XII. He lacked the makings of a national hero but in the course of time mythology invested him with the qualities in which he had beendeficient - moral grandeur and political vision. A 'Mazepist' is not an inheritor of an honourable political tradition. To pass moral judgement onMazepa's actions is easy enough but there cannot be any single and correct interpretation of so complex and multi-faceted a personality, not leastbecause the veil of poetic fiction conceals the real man. The choice of personae is wide: the Don Juan of the steppes (or rather of Volhynia) punishedby a jealous husband, as first described by the diarist Jan Chryzostom Pasek; Horace Vernet's marble-limbed ephebe tied to the back of a greystallion; Byron's venerable optimist and survivor - the outcast made king; Pushkin's vengeful patriot and senescent lover infatuated with the youthfulMotrona Kochubei; the melancholy lost leader (or worse) of the Ukrainian folk ballad; the national idol of an extremist section of Ukrainianhistoriography. But outside the world of the imagination there existed the Ruthenian szlachcic Jan Mazepa Kołodynski (Koledyns'kyi), armorial bearingsKurcz, groom of King John Casimir's bedchamber, appointed nominal cupbearer (pocillator) of Chernigov in 1665, Volhynian landowner, Orthodox byreligion, Polish-Ruthenian by culture (having been educated at the Kiev Academy and thereafter almost certainly by the Jesuits), equally fluent inspeech and writing in Ruthenian, Russian, Polish and Latin. Such a profile is hardly compatible with the figure of the obedient and loyal subject ofthe tsar who inclined himself before Boris Mikhailov, a low-ranking Muscovite official. No, Mazepa has to be seen as a political homo duplex in whomcontrary affinities and inclinations were constantly at odds. Even his Ruthenian inheritance was dual and reflected the political divisions thenobtaining on the Right Bank. Ivan Mazepa's father, Adam Stefan (Stepan, d. 1665) had been an adherent of Khmel'nyts'kyi before, in 1658, he gave hissupport to Vyhovs'kyi and subsequently to the King and Republic; his wife and Ivan's mother, Maryna (d. 1707 or 1708) was born Mokievs'ka, members ofher family had taken part in Khmel'nyts'kyi's insurrection. Some time after 1674 she took the veil and, as Mariia Magdalina, became in 1686 MotherSuperior of the Monastery of the Ascension at Kiev and of another monastery at Glukhov in 1688. Her official position indicates a strong inclinationtowards Moscow but this did not prevent her from signing her name in Polish as well as in Ruthenian. But the hetman of the Ukrainian Cossacks wasno ordinary szlachcic. There is in the reservation for himself of a fiefdom in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, as the price for the reunification ofUkraine under Polish suzerainty and a Swedish guarantee, something of the arrogance of a Polish magnate. Indeed the bargain closely resembles thatwhich was struck in 1655 by Janusz Radziwiłł (1612-1655), grand hetman of Lithuania and palatine of Vilno, with Charles X Gustavus of Sweden wherebythe Grand Duchy was to be assigned to Sweden and Radziwiłł was to receive a vast tract of land and ducal status. If a contemporary report is to bebelieved, the hetman's select mercenary regiments as well as his honourable bodyguard consisted entirely of Poles, the senior military commanders andofficials close to him were his own relations, or of right-bank szlachta stock or sons of migrants from the Right Bank or foreigners. Theseallegations were apparently justified in so far as they concerned family or personal ties with Mazepa; the Poles in question could have beenRuthenians of the Orthodox persuasion but Polish speaking and writing. It is certain that the paternal family of Mazepa's nephew and intendedsuccessor, Andrii Voinarovs'kyi, were members of the Orthodox Volhynian szlachta. Orlik speaks of himself as a szlachcic (bearing the armsNowina) and a newcomer to the Left Bank who never took an oath of allegiance to the tsar. In 1697 Mazepa was at pains to rebut some evidently damagingcharges of tainted blood among members of his entourage; he let it be known that no man close to him was of the Liakh faith, all were Orthodox andthere was not a single Pole among them. There was clearly no lack of ethnic consciousness in Ukraine at that time. Hand in hand with these leaningswent Mazepa's predilection for the hierarchical and seigniorial character of the social organization of Poland-Lithuania and a distaste for theprimitive instincts of the Cossack masses. His handling of home affairs shows a tendency to foster the development of a stratum corresponding to theszlachta and to reduce the peasantry to a state of subservience to the landowners like that which obtained in the Republic. The new and growinghereditary élite was encouraged to enclose land held in military tenure by ordinary Cossacks and to compel them to do boon work. At the same time,with the approval of the senior commanders and office holders, Mazepa hindered the peasants from evading the performance of their various obligationstowards their masters by enrolling as Cossacks. These measures, as well as the monopolies of liquor, tobacco and tar farmed out to profiteeringcontractors made Mazepa thoroughly unpopular with masses on the Left Bank. It was with a view to restoring the good name of an independent hetmanatethat the agreement concluded at Bendery in April 1710 between representatives of the Cossacks and their newly elected hetman in exile, Orlik, includeda number of articles intended to right the wrongs and eradicate the abuses suffered by the common people. Mazepa's generosity to the Orthodox Churchwas praised but did not dispel the general impression, formulated by his successor on the Left Bank, Skoropads'kyi, admittedly after the event, thatMazepa had never been a 'true son of his fatherland'. But this is an unjust verdict. It cannot be denied that the arch-traitor's ultimate andoverriding aim was the creation of a united and autonomous, if not independent, Ukraine. Pushkin, the poet-historian saw the point and made Mazepadeclare to Mariia-Motrona: 'The time has come for Ukraine to be an independent state; I'll raise against Tsar Peter the gory standard of revolt.'The conflict and contrast between Mazepa and Palii had long been a theme in Ukrainian popular prose and poetry. In the historical ballads Mazepa iscursed for having contrived the treacherous imprisonment and wrongful accusation of Palii while the latter is described as father - bat'ko - of theCossacks and praised for having defended the people from the lords and oppressors. In the folk tale Palii appears as a noble figure, sometimes endowedwith supernatural powers, a selfless defender of the national cause, the very opposite of Mazepa, an evil and demonic creature, inimical to the peopleand its interests. There may have been something legendary in Palii's 'war cry' of former days mentioned by Pushkin, for a folk ballad of uncertaindate urges Palii to call together his troops and raid the land of the Liakhs. The Cossacks will start a fire, roast a Jew and light their pipes.Another ballad condemns Orlik, the cheat and bully, for having tempted the Zaporozhians to join Mazepa (which he never did), only to meet with arebuff. After his defection Mazepa, in a letter written to Ivan Skoropads'kyi, explained the reasons for his action: he and his associates hadsought the protection of Charles XII in the hope that with his ever victorious army he would defend the Cossacks from Muscovite tyranny, liberate themand restore to them, indeed augment, their rights and privileges as he had promised to do in a written guarantee. The tsar, on the other hand, wantedto abolish the 'Zaporozhian host' (the traditional name by which the Cossacks were still known), to turn them into dragoons and foot soldiers and toenslave the people of Little Russia. Later, in his letters universal promulgated early in 1709, Mazepa accused the Russians of keeping their garrisonsin Ukrainian towns, ostensibly for their own defence, but in reality so as to hold them in pawn, of bringing in their monopolistic public houses and,the gravest charge of all, of wanting to expel the Cossacks from their land and to replace them with Muscovites. The contents of Charles XII'smanifesto of 7 November or perhaps, rather, 16 December, correspond to Mazepa's apologia: at the request of the hetman he had extended his protectionto the wronged Little Russian people and would defend it and shield it until it had shaken off the Muscovite yoke and retained its former freedom. Atthe same time the Swedish king denied the existence of a treaty between himself and King Stanisław to the effect that Ukraine should be conquered byPoland or that Sweden should appropriate to itself any part of Poland-Lithuania. But, these assurances notwithstanding, the Swedes did not lose sightof their long-term military needs and later reserved the right to occupy, for the duration of the emergency, a number of important s
