"Ivan Mazepa (1639-1709), hetman of the Zaporozhian Host in what is now Ukraine, is
a controversial figure, famous for abandoning his allegiance to Tsar Peter I and joining
Charles XII's Swedish army during the Battle of Poltava. Although he is discussed
in almost every survey and major book on Russian and Ukrainian history, Ivan Mazepa
and the Russian Empire is the first English-language biography of the hetman in sixty
years. A translation and revision of Tatiana Tairova-Yakovleva's 2007 Russian-language
book, Ivan Mazepa and the Russian Empire presents an updated perspective on the famous
Ukrainian hetman. This account is based on many new sources, including Mazepa's archive--thought
lost for centuries before it was rediscovered by the author in 2004--and post-Soviet
Russian and Ukrainian historiography. Focusing on this fresh material, Tairova-Yakovleva
delivers a more nuanced and balanced account of the polarizing figure who has been
simultaneously demonized in Russia as a traitor and revered in Ukraine as the defender
of independence. Chapters on economic reform, Mazepa's impact on the rise to power
of Peter I, his cultural achievements, and the reasons he switched his allegiance
from Peter to Charles integrate a larger array of issues and personalities than have
previously been explored. Setting a standard for the next generation of historians,
Ivan Mazepa and the Russian Empire reveals an original picture of the Hetmanate during
a moment of critical importance for the Russian Empire and Ukraine."
