Taras Bulba

[Anna Reid]

Dear Seelangers - I'm writing a radio talk about Taras Bulba for BBC Radio
3, to be broadcast in the interval of a concert featuring Janacek's
orchestral work of that name. There's obviously lots to say about
Ukrainian-Russian politics around both Gogol's novella and its various film
versions, especially the recent one funded by the Russian Ministry of
Culture. I'm not at all up, however, on what ordinary Ukrainians make, if
anything, of the whole Cossack thing today. Does anyone have any current
jokes, anekdoty, general pop-culture titbits? All contributions most
gratefully accepted! - Anna Reid.
