This movie is a FAKE !!!
23 March 2012 | by (Ukraine) – See all my reviews

This propaganda movie is a weapon in Russia's informational war against Ukraine and Ukraine's history... Peter the First had stolen Kievan Rus' name (by renaming Moscovia to Russia in 1721) and now Putin is trying to steal Ukraine's history...

1) Cossacks where UKRAINIANS.

2) They spoke UKRAINIAN language.

3) They did NOT fight for "Russia".

4) They fought against occupants (including Moscow's occupants).

In first edition of Mykola Gogol's "Taras Bulba" (1835) there where NO "Russia"-words, but everywhere where "Ukraine" instead. "Russia"-words appeared later (in 1842' edition) through PRESSURE of Moscow's censorship. But Bortko intentionally makes this movie based on that (1842's) edition.

THIS MOVIE IS A FAKE !!!

PS. Sorry for my English :)
