🚩 Khmelnytsky Uprising was a brutal war that lasted nearly a decade (1648 to 1657). Cossack warriors, under Bohdan Khmelnytsky rose against the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, eventually winning their independence. However, this victory gradually led to the incorporation of eastern Ukraine into Russia, as Cossacks swore allegiance to the Tsar in exchange for greater autonomy than they enjoyed under Polish-Lithuanian rule. Ultimately, the war led to the period known as “The Ruin”. The Battle of Zhovti Vody was the first major battle of the Khmelnytsky Uprising.

🚩 Roman von Ungern-Sternberg was of Baltic-German nobility origin, served in the Imperial Russian Army, but fell in love with the far-east, its history and culture. He was convinced he was a descendant of Ghengis Khan, adopted a hybrid ideology of combined Buddhism, Christianity and Samurai influences, and led his clique of merciless Cossacks in brutal battle against the Bolsheviks.
But not before conquering Mongolia, albeit for a brief while, and declaring himself its head of state. He waged a campaign of terror, without any mercy towards his opponents. Still, at the same time, according to historians, a modern-day independent Mongolia would not be possible without his activities. He became known as the Mad Baron in history books, an epitaph that is rather fitting for this larger than life character, whichever way you look at him.
