When I was in Kiev. I saw this monument with my own eyes. Hmm.. maybe, it's a sign that I need to visit this city again :) will think about it tomorrow :)

Bohdan Zynoviy Mykhailovych Khmelnytsky was the Hetman of the Zaporozhian Host of the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth (now part of Ukraine). He led an uprising against the Commonwealth and its magnates (1648–1654) which resulted in the creation of a Cossack state. In 1654, he concluded the Treaty of Pereyaslav with the Tsardom of Russia.
