Мазепа — фрагмент праці, російською мовою →
Документ розміщено із люб’язної згоди автора та видавництва.
В серии “ЖЗЛ” вышла биография Ивана Мазепы (1639–1709), гетмана Украины, политического деятеля, дипломата и мецената. Автор рассказывает о культурной среде украинского возрождения конца XVII — начала XVIII века. Ярким ее представителем был Мазепа — поэт, покровитель архитектуры, книгоиздания, просвещения и богословия. Двадцать лет, на протяжении которых он возглавлял Украину, стали периодом экономического расцвета, укрепления государственного управления в рамках автономии и многочисленных военных походов, включая взятие Кизикирмена, Азова и Замостья.
Правление Мазепы — это период, когда нарастали противоречия между Гетманщиной и создававшейся Российской империей. Реформы Петра, усугубившиеся тяготами Северной войны, привели к трагическим для Украины и России событиям, в центре которых оказалась и судьба Мазепы.
