League of Ukrainian Canadians supports “Ivan Mazepa’s Name” website in 2025
In March of this year, the Ucrainica Research Institute and the League of Ukrainian Canadians in Toronto donated their next subsidy to support our website "Ivan Mazepa Name". These institutions also rendered similar subsidies in 2017-2024. We acknowledge this annual financial support from Canada, which helps us to maintain the site and update it with new materials, thus continuing to popularize the life and deeds of Hetman Ivan Mazepa and his era, as well as the recent publications on these topics of Ukrainian history. We kindly thank Orest Steciw, M.A., President of the Ucrainica Research Institute and the Executive Director of the League of Ukrainian Canadians, and hope for further cooperation.

Research on Archaeological Finds from Baturyn, Ukraine, in 2024
This illustrated article by Dr. Volodymyr Mezentsev in PDF examines the glazed ceramic stove tiles featuring the angels or putti of the Renaissance tradition which were excavated among the remnants of Ivan Mazepa’s palace in Baturyn (ca. 1700). These archaeological finds show the ornate interior decoration of his principal residence and the stimulating influence of the European Christian art on the Cossack Ukraine capital promoted by the hetman. The article was published in the bulletin Canadio-Byzantina, No. 36, University of Ottawa, January 2025. This Canadian academic series has published Mezentsev’s brief reports and updates on the Baturyn excavation results from 2002 onward (https://uottawa.scholarsportal.info/ottawa/index.php/cb/issue/archive).

ANGELS ADORNING IVAN MAZEPA’S PALACE IN BATURYN
This article with gallery of colour illustrations in PDF examines the rare glazed ceramic and terracotta tiles featuring the angels or putti that ornamented stoves at the ambitious principal residence of Hetman Ivan Mazepa in his capital city of Baturyn. Their fragments have been discovered during the excavations of the palace’s remnants. This publication presents the computer graphic reconstructions of two complete tiles and the most expensive and ornate majolica multicolour tiled stove of Mazepa’s headquarter which was destroyed during the ravaging of Baturyn by Russian troops in 1708. These tiles testify to the wealth and fine art adornments of his palace and also demonstrate the assimilation and dissemination of the putti motif of the Renaissance tradition in the decorative applied art of Cossack Ukraine promoted by Mazepa. This article was published in the “Ukrainian Echo”, the English-language section of the popular Ukrainian Canadian newspaper “Homin Ukrainy”, Vol. LXXVI, No. 23, Toronto, June 18, 2024.
