Taras Bulba. Gogol N.V.

The story describes one of the many wars of the Zaporizhzhya Cossacks with the Polish gentry that occurred in the XV-XVII centuries. But what did they defend? ONE EARE AND RIGHT LIFE? No. The most important thing for them was the Russian Orthodox faith. And they helped them in this struggle Brotherhood, kinship, partnership, honor and courage. For secondary and senior school age.
