Article about Baturyn and Mazepa in the popular American archaeological magazine

Findings of the archaeologists in Baturyn have attracted the attention of the Archaeological Institute of America in New York (web.: archaeology.org). In 2023, the popular Archaeology magazine of this Institute published a nicely illustrated article about Baturyn and the tragic destruction of this capital of the Cossack state and the residence of the distinguished Hetman Ivan Mazepa by Russian troops in 1708, as well as the impressive archaeological findings there titled “Excavating Ukraine’s Lost Capital… a Bastion of Cossack Independence and Culture”. Mr. Daniel Weiss, executive editor of Archaeology, has prepared this article using the extensive consultations with Prof. Zenon Kohut, eminent historian of the Cossack polity and ex-director of the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies (CIUS) at the University of Alberta, and Dr. Volodymyr Mezentsev of this Institute, executive director of the Canada-Ukraine Baturyn Research Project at CIUS and the associate leader of the excavations in Mazepa’s capital in 2001-13. Mezentsev’s photos of selected archaeological finds were published in the article. This highly reputable American magazine provides a broad publicity for the Baturyn history and culture and its study in the West.
