THE COSSACKS
A very important time period in Ukrainian culture began in the fifteenth century, with the emerging Cossacks. The Cossack people were frontiersmen who formed groups to fight off the Mongols from the Crimean Khanate, and the Ottoman Turks, and their goal was to make the territory of the Ukraine open to settlement. Initially, the Cossack bands gathered only when needed, but, eventually the bands and their fortified camps became a permanent way of life in the region arround the Dnieper basin. In 1553-54, groups of Cossacks were gathered below the Dnieper rapids and the foundations for the Zaporozhian Sich were established. Cossack society was to some degree democratic and egalitarian; however, class distinction soon developed. The Zaporozhians and other Cossacks gained popular appeal through daring raids on the Tatars and rebellions against the Poles.
