The confirmation is the conclusions of scientists and the words of the Great Kobzar that the Union of Cossacks with the poles were put up and if not Jesuits, they might not have been cut. The author claims that Ukrainians inherited a complex history. Each region has its own cultural, linguistic, ethnic and religious peculiarities.

He states that Ukraine has a unique national potential: its own extraordinary and rich culture and spiritual tradition, faith. The grace of holy baptism spread to many peoples in the Kiev land. There is a good reason that Kiev City was called the Second Jerusalem.
