How the “Cossack Myth” functioned in different periods of Ukrainian historyї? What role does it play in the current political situation, in what way? This is a rather incomplete list of issues that were discussed during the scientific seminar. Videos of all seminar presentations will be available on the official “Prisma Ukraina” channel soon.
