Description
The story of Ukraine cannot be told without the Cossacks. These communities of free warriors emerged in the 15th–16th centuries, settling on the wide steppes and along the Dnipro river. By 1550, the fortified Zaporizhian Sich had become a symbol of liberty—living beyond the reach of kings and tsars, electing their own leaders, and defending Ukraine’s frontier with sword and musket.
For us today, the Cossack legacy is more than history. Their battles, their songs, and their relentless fight for dignity remind us that the Ukrainian striving for freedom is not new—it has been carried on for centuries.
We invite you to an event where we will dive into the Cossack legacy and discuss what made the Cossack polity so extraordinary in its time, why Cossack leaders like Hetman Ivan Mazepa chose a path “away from Moscow,” the ways Russia sought to erase this autonomous tradition, and how Ukraine’s identity held strong.
The story of this legacy will also be told through taste. As part of our “Taste of Ukraine” series, the event will feature dishes from Cossack cuisine:
– Fish soup with herbs (Shcherba)
– Millet porridge with cracklings (Kulish)
– Buckwheat & meat patties (Hrechanyky)
– Smoked and salted salo (pork fat)
– Pickled cabbage & cucumbers
– Traditional fruit drink (Uzvar)
– Black homemade “Palyanytsia” bread with mustard & horseradish
The ticket includes a glass of wine and entrance to our Uncurtained exhibition at Ukraine House.

Історію України неможливо розповісти без козаків. Ці спільноти вільних воїнів виникли у XV–XVI століттях й оселилися на українських широких степах та березі Дніпра. Уже близько 1550 року Запорізька Січ стала символом волі — поза контролем царів і королів, з демократичним устроєм та захистом українського пограниччя “вогнем та мечем”.
Для нас сьогодні козацька спадщина — це більше, ніж просто частина української історії, а також наше натхнення. Їхні битви, пісні та героїчна боротьба за людську гідність свідчать та нагадують, що прагнення українців до свободи — цінність, яку ми несемо крізь віки.
Запрошуємо вас на подію, де ми зануримось у козацьку спадщину та поговоримо про: що зробило козацьку державність такою унікальною для свого часу; чому козацькі гетьмани, як-от Іван Мазепа, обирали шлях “геть від Москви”; якими були спроби Росії знищити цю автономну традицію — і як українська ідентичність вистояла проти цього.
Історію козацтва ми розповімо також через смак у межах серії “Смак Соборної України” й почастуємо гостей стравами козацької кухні. В меню:
– Рибна юшка з травами (Щерба)
– Пшоняний куліш зі шкварками (Куліш)
– Гречані котлети з м’ясом (Гречаники)
– Солоне та копчене сало
– Квашена капуста та огірки
– Традиційний напій з сухофруктів (Узвар)
– Домашня паляниця з гірчицею та хроном
У вартість квитка також входить келих вина та вхід на нашу виставку Uncurtained.
