Tatiana Tairova-Yakovleva will give a talk on her new book, Ivan Mazepa and the Russian Empire. The talk is part of a new series of book discussions and launches of recent publications in Ukrainian studies by the Peter Jacyk Centre for Ukrainian Historical Research.
Tatiana Tairova-Yakovleva is director of the Centre for Ukrainian Research at St Petersburg State University.
Ivan Mazepa (1639-1709), hetman of the Zaporozhian Host in what is now Ukraine, is a controversial figure, famous for abandoning his allegiance to Tsar Peter I and joining Charles XII's Swedish army during the Battle of Poltava. Although he is discussed in almost every survey and major book on Russian and Ukrainian history, Ivan Mazepa and the Russian Empire is the first English-language biography of the hetman in sixty years. A revision of Tatiana Tairova-Yakovleva's 2007 Russian-language book, this English translation of Ivan Mazepa and the Russian Empire presents an updated perspective.
