  1. 4:11 Chmielnicki could have no any problem with the Polish state aparatus , because sauch aparatus did not , ever , existed! Poland Lithuanian Commonwealth PLC was a highly decentralized state on the verge of anarchy , ruled by local magnats who had their own private armies. the central state did not exist. The king was elected and had no real power and it never had a standing army. This was the very reason for it's gradual collapse in the future. Chmilenicki was a local nobelmen who was being abused by a local magnate and the PLC had nothing to be balmed. In fact the king was keeping side of cossacks in their stragle against magnates. All those magnates on Ukraine were Rurthenien not Polish.This was not an ethnic straggle , but a class straggle.

  2. 4:43 Cossacks had their own cavalry , in fact most of them did fight on horseback.
    7:26 Why you are always saying ' Poles ' and ' Poland ' when Poland – Lithuanian – Commonwealth PLC was ruled by nobility of multi ethnic origin. Wisniowiecki was of Ruthenian origin. This was a class straggle not an ethnic straggle.

  3. 6:31 The Warsaw Confederation of 1573 gave freedom of religion to everybody of any religion in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth PLC So all religions Catholics , Protestants , Orthodoxs , Jews and Muslims could coexist and practice their religion side by side. Since PLC was highly decentralized state without central authority ruled by local magnates it could not impose anything on anybody. But at the same time it could not effectively defend somebody rights if they were being abused by some local magnate.
