Abstract
This introduction provides an overview of the 1648 Cossack uprising, and discusses the contested legacy of Hetman Bohdan Khmelnytsky. It takes as an example Mikeshin’s statue of Khmelnytsky, unveiled in Kyiv in 1888 to commemorate the Baptism of Rus. presents the central problem of memorializing a charismatic figure like Khmelnytsky, who has been remembered as a hero or villain depending on the national context and the regime in power. The introductory chapter also offers a discussion of the literature in Polish, Ukrainian, Russian, Hebrew, and Yiddish that has memorialized Khmelnytsky and the uprising from 1648 to the present, focusing on the early modern period, Romanticism, Modernism, and the twentieth century.
