Ivan Mazepa is a renowned Ukrainian leader who made significant contributions to the flourishing of Ukrainian culture and the Cossack state in the late 17th century. Because of his desire for Ukraine's freedom from Muscovy, Mazepa aligned himself with the Swedish king Charles XII in a war against the Russian tsar Peter I, ultimately losing the decisive battle near Poltava in seventeen o nine However, in the 19th century, Mazepa became a prominent cultural figure. George Gordon Byron, Victor Hugo, Juliusz Słowacki, Franz Liszt, and Eugène Delacroix created poems, musical compositions, and paintings depicting him as a young man, a political and sexual rebel. This portrayal of Mazepa gained popularity globally, reaching as far as South Africa and the United States. We delved into this story with Tony Voss, a South African university professor, Professor Emeritus and research associate of the University of Kwazulu-Natal, Durban, and Nelson Mandela University, Gqeberha, South Africa Host: Volodymyr Yermolenko, a Ukrainian philosopher, the chief editor of UkraineWorld, and the president of PEN Ukraine.

Sannolikt någon gång klockan halv tio på kvällen den 30 november 1718 träffades Karl XII i huvudet av en kula som dödade den svenske kungen omedelbart. Platsen var en löpgrav utanför den norska fästningen Fredriksten utanför staden Fredrikshald.Händelsen innebar början till slutet på det långvariga stora nordiska kriget som i nästan två årtionden hade ställt det svenska riket mot en övermäktig allians av motståndarstater. Kungens plötsliga död har gett upphov till många spekulationer: en förlupen fiendekula eller ett statsmord?I detta avsnitt av Militärhistoriepodden ger sig Martin Hårdstedt och Peter Bennesved i kast med en klassisk händelse i den svenska militärhistorien: Karl XII:s död. Forskare har engagerat sig i vad som verkligen hände natten då kungen blev skjuten. Mordteorierna fick direkt fart efter kungens död som en del i det inrikespolitiska maktspelet. Kungens grav har öppnats ett antal gånger för att lösa gåtan. Den dominerande uppfattningen är idag att kungen föll för en norsk kula som sköts från någon fästningsvall.Belägringen av Fredrikstens fästning var en del av ett mycket större sammanhang. Den svenske kungens avsikt med att anfalla och ta Norge var att försvaga Danmark. Om det danska riket miste Norge som stöd antog kungen och hans närmaste att Danmark skulle kunna slås ut ur kriget och att kriget mot Sveriges fiender på längre sikt skulle kunna vändas till svensk fördel. Samtidigt som den svenska huvudarmén under kungens ledning anföll södra Norge gick en kår under generalen Armfelt mot Trondheim.Fälttåget i Norge 1718 innebar svåra logistikproblem som den svenska armén löste på ett nytt innovativt sätt. I podden diskuteras det svenska ”skorp-underhållet” som en del av en operativ plan för att besegra norrmännen. Händelserna 1718 avrundades på ett tragiskt sätt genom karolinernas dödsmarsch över Jämtlandsfjällen under reträtten från Norge efter det att fälttåget avblåst som en direkt följd av kungens död.Bild: Teckning från 1700-talet som illustrerade en av utgåvorna av boken "Histoire de Charles XII", av Voltaire.

Tonight, we'll read from the opening to “History of Charles XII” written by French writer and philosopher Voltaire. It was first published in 1731. In this first major historical biography from the author, Voltaire tells the story of a warrior king who was the embodiment of the archetypal ‘hero'. Voltaire's Charles was a leader both admirably strong and unabashedly tyrannical. Charles XII, also known as Carl XII or Carolus Rex, was the king of Sweden and what is now Finland. Charles assumed power at the age of 15. His reign lasted for about 20 years, ending in the year 1718. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Sweden's spectacular victories against Russia were later reversed by crushing losses to Russia that ended Sweden's Empire. Sweden is joining NATO. But why now? Why after more than two centuries of peace - a record longer than any other country! My guest in this episode, Dr. Ulf Zander who joined our conversation from Sweden, answers this question and much more. He explained the history of Sweden from the age of the Vikings. And no, not all Vikings are the same. Those from Sweden ventured east, and they may have given Russia its name. But the legacy of Vikings endured - traders or fearsome warriors? The answer mattered in 20th-century geopolitics. Dr. Zander describes how Sweden became a nation and how it rose to the status of an empire, despite its much smaller population than its neighbors. Here our conversation takes a turn as we talk about the fall of the Swedish empire and the rise of the Russian empire. We talk about Charles XII, a king who Voltaire portrayed as a tragic hero, and whose legacy in the 20th century was used to goad Sweden into war against Russia in WWI and WWII. We also talk about Sweden's massive emigration to the United States. How massive? More than 1 million. To put this in perspective, the population of Sweden now is little more than 10 million! But the story doesn't end there. Immigration into Sweden has also been massive. How massive? More than 15% of Sweden's population is foreign-born. That percentage is even higher than the U.S. and the U.K. Dr. Zander explains the challenges of Sweden's large immigration communities, including gang violence, particularly those that haven't assimilated. A Professor of History at the Department of History, in Lund University in Sweden, Professor Zander's main interest is how history is communicated and used. He has published on the debates and uses of Swedish history from the late 19th century to the early 21st century as well as on monuments, film, history, and identity and uses of history in the United States. He is currently working on several research projects. The one that we discuss in this episode is that he is writing a book together with historian and film historian Tommy Gustafsson about the Swedish warrior king Charles XII in Swedish cinema. To learn more about Prof. Zander and his publications and other projects, you can visit his academic homepage. "Never Again Alone"! After the 1939 Winter War with the USSR, Finland vowed never again to defend itself alone. Its bid to join NATO in 2022 was a consequence of its experience in 1939, an experience which resonated with Russia's attack on Ukraine. In a 2022 conversation, Dr. Jason Lavery, who joined me from Finland, described Finland's history of war and peace with Russia.

Au début du XVIIIe siècle, les Corses secouent la domination génoise et instaurent une monarchie éphémère, dont le premier et le seul roi sera un aventurier allemand, Théodore von Neuhoff.Né en 1694, à Cologne, il appartient à une famille de la noblesse westphalienne. Théodore aime le changement et épouse successivement plusieurs causes. Il se met d'abord au service de l'Électeur de Bavière, puis s'engage aux côtés du prétendant Jacques François Stuart, qui convoite la couronne d'Angleterre.On le retrouve ensuite au service du Roi de Suède Charles XII, puis à Madrid, où ses talents pour l'intrigue et la diplomatie lui procurent de l'avancement. Il gagne ensuite la faveur de l'Empereur Charles VI, qui en fait son représentant à Florence.Les circonstances précises dans lesquelles Théodore von Neuhoff eut l'occasion de s'intéresser à la Corse ne sont pas très bien connues. Il est probable que son attention fut attirée sur ce pays par des officiers au service de Charles VI, qui étaient intervenus en Corse pour aider les Génois.En effet, ces derniers, auxquels appartenait l'île, étaient en butte aux revendications de ses habitants, qui réclamaient plus d'autonomie et, bientôt, l'indépendance. Fin 1733 ou début 1734, Neuhoff participe à des réunions avec les chefs des insurgés corses.Peu après, en 1736, il débarque dans l'île de Beauté. En avril de cette année, une assemblée représentative proclame le royaume indépendant de Corse et élit Neuhoff Roi de l'île. Il prend le nom de Théodore Ier.Il prend tous les attributs de la souveraineté et réforme l'administration. Mais son souci principal est la lutte contre la République de Gênes. Après quelques succès initiaux, la campagne tourne au désastre.Le Roi de Corse quitte alors son île pour chercher du secours. Il en trouve en Hollande, mais, à son retour, il se heurte aux troupes françaises, appelées par les Génois.Obligé de s'enfuir de nouveau, Théodore Ier mène dès lors une vie itinérante et, criblé de dettes, finit son existence à Londres, en 1756, misérable et oublié de tous.

Peace treaties do not always work out the way they are intended, especially if they are complex and take time to implement.  The many treaties comprising the peace of Utrecht are like this.Spain is the main loser after the War of the Spanish Succession, and an Italian Cardinal seeks to remedy the situation by going to war with the 3 greatest powers in Europe.  You might think Spain is well past the point where they could win a war with France or England or the Empire, and fighting all three at once is sheer insanity.  But it happened anyway.   Partly, Alberoni was counting on western Europe's reluctance to get into another war so soon after the last peace of exhaustion.   When he conquered Sardinia in 1717, Europe offered him a good deal, when he went on to take Sicily in 1718, and tried to overthrow the French Regency...everything spun out of control.  But that's OK, because Charles XII would save him...

Let's go back to the year 1700, a cold, gray late November day in Estonia. Let's go back to the age of muskets and bayonets, of dragoons and hussars. To a time when the Lion of the North, the Last Viking, young Charles XII of Sweden was sizing up his first meal, Peter the "not yet" Great of Russia. Let's go back to the battle of Narva! Facing a vastly numerically superior enemy (that was dug-in) with a well defended position with heavy artillery support, Charles XII of Sweden would have been wise to not attack. But then he wouldn't have been Charles XII. Using a sudden snow squall to mask his advance, Charles and the Swedish army attacked the dug-in Russian line and the first great victory of The Great Northern War was won.  Music by DopeBoysSources Upon RequestFollow Along On Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTokAs Always - Rate/Review/SubscribeAnd Thanks For Listening!

Welcome aboard to our latest producer Methuselah, thanks for your support! All right enough of the business lets get stuck in at Poltava! Let's go back 310 years to the plains of southern Ukraine, fresh of a winter so cold birds fell frozen out of the air. Charles XII of Sweden put his kingdom on the line outside a city called Poltava. After the collapse of the Teutonic knights, the Baltic region and Eastern Europe was in disarray. A power vacuum was left by the old order of crusading knights, but for some time no power emerged preeminent. Out of the madness and horrible violence of the 30 Years War emerged a Lion. Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden was one of the great commanders in history and clawed out an empire. Seemingly overnight France, England, Spain, and the Netherlands had to acknowledge a new member to their elite club. After Gustavus glorious death on the field, Sweden was set up well for the future. Large swaths of Denmark and Germany, as well as most of the Baltic region and east end of the Gulf of Finland, were under Swedish control. When Charles the 11th died the army he left behind was lithe, sinewy, and ready to be put through its paces. In the hands of a genius tactician, this army would be most formidable… This week’s main source - Peter the Great: His Life and World by Robert K.

Los enemigos de Suecia son muchos y están listos para despedazarla, aprovechando esta situación. Con lo que no cuentan es que Carlos XII es una especie de joven loco que lo único que le interesa es la guerra. Rápido como el meteoro, golpeará de forma decisiva donde se precise de forma. Así, rápidamente se forja la leyenda de que no puede ser derrotado. La Gran Guerra del Norte es el conflicto que lo tendrá como protagonista. Conflicto que determinó la forma del mundo hasta nuestros días. Hacer esto solos era imposible así que dos podcasts nos juntamos para lograrlo. ¡La Tortulia y Mambrú se fue a la Guerra unen fuerzas en este crossover espectacular!

ODE TO NAPOLEON BUONAPARTE by Lord Byron with annotations from Peter Cochran [Byron wrote the poem in several stages. The earliest manuscript (at Texas) was created on April 10th 1814, and contains stanzas 1, 4, 6-12, and 14-16; Byron then added stanzas 5, 13, 2, and 3 to it. Stanzas 17, 18 and 19 were written – so it used to be said – at the request of John Murray, to increase the size of the book and thus to avoid paying stamp tax on it. But Andrew Nicholson, in Napoleon’s ‘last act’ and Byron’s Ode, (Romanticism 9.1, 2003, p.68) writes that there was no such condition attached to stamp tax.The Ode was published at high speed, first anonymously (with fifteen stanzas) on April 16th 1814. All editions from the third onwards have an additional stanza 5. Not until the twelfth edition does Byron’s name appear. Stanzas 17, 18, and 19 were not printed in Byron’s lifetime. Byron wanted to dedicate the poem to Hobhouse, but Hobhouse declined.]   “Expende Annibalem:—quot libras in duce summoInvenies?—— JUVENAL, Sat.X. “The Emperor Nepos13 was acknowledged by the Senate, by the Italians, and by theProvincials of Gaul; his moral virtues, and military talents, were loudly celebrated; and thosewho derived any private benefit from his government, announced in prophetic strains therestoration of public felicity.* * * * * * * * * * * * *“By this shameful abdication, he protracted his life a few years, in a very ambiguous state,between an Emperor and an Exile, till———— Gibbon’s Decline and Fall, vol. 6, p.220.   1. ’Tis done – but yesterday a King! And armed with Kings to strive – And now thou art a nameless thing: So abject – yet alive! Is this the Man of thousand thrones,  Who strewed our earth with hostile bones, And can he thus survive? Since he, miscalled the Morning Star, Nor man nor fiend hath fallen so far. – 2. Ill-minded man! why scourge thy kind  Who bowed so low the knee? By gazing on thyself grown blind, Thou taught’st the rest to see; With might unquestioned – power to save – Thine only gift hath been the grave  To those that worshipped thee; Nor till thy fall could mortals guess 12: “Put Hannibal in the scales: how many pounds will that peerless / General mark up today?” – tr.Peter Green. The first of many references to historical and mythical over-reachers with which B. cutsNapoleon down to size.13: Julius Nepos, Emperor of the Western Roman Empire after it had ceased to exist. Killed by his ownmen.14: BYRON’S NOTE: Lucifer was Satan’s name before he rebelled and fell. Ambition’s less than littleness! – 3. Thanks for that lesson – it will teach To after-warriors more  Than high Philosophy can preach, And vainly preached before. That spell upon the minds of men Breaks, never to unite again, That led them to adore  Those Pagod things of sabre-sway, With fronts of brass, and feet of clay. 4. The triumph, and the vanity, The rapture of the strife * – The earthquake-voice of Victory,  To thee the breath of Life; The sword, the sceptre, and that sway Which Man seemed made but to obey, Wherewith Renown was rife – All quelled! – Dark Spirit! what must be  The Madness of thy Memory!* Certaminis guadia, the expression of Attila in his harangue to his army, previous to thebattle of Chalons, given in Cassiodorus. 5 The Desolator desolate! The Victor overthrown! The Arbiter of others’ fate A Suppliant for his own! Is it some yet imperial hope That with such change can calmly cope, Or dread of death alone? To die a Prince – or live a slave – Thy choice is most ignobly brave! 6. He * who of old would rend the oak, Dreamed not of the rebound; Chained by the trunk he vainly broke – Alone – how looked he round? Thou, in the sternness of thy strength,  15: Attila the Hun lost the battle of Challons (451 AD).16: Received stanza 5 does not appear in the first editions.17: Echoes Johnson, The Vanity of Human Wishes, 213-14: Condemn’d a needy Suppliant to wait, /While Ladies interpose, and Slaves debate. A reference to Charles XII of Sweden, Johnson’s equivalentto Juvenal’s Hannibal.18: Napoleon attempted suicide while this poem was in proof stage. An equal deed hast done at length, And darker fate hast found: He fell, the forest prowlers’ prey; But thou must eat thy heart away!* Milo.19 7. The Roman, * when his burning heart  Was slaked with blood of Rome, Threw down the dagger – dared depart, In savage grandeur, home. – He dared depart in utter scorn Of Men that such a yoke had borne,  Yet left him such a doom! His only glory was that hour Of self-upheld abandoned power. – And Earth hath spilt her blood for him, Who thus can hoard his own! And Monarchs bowed the trembling limb, And thanked him for a throne! Fair Freedom! we may hold thee dear, When thus thy mightiest foes their fear In humblest guise have shown. Oh! ne’er may tyrant leave behind A brighter name to lure mankind!  11. Thine evil deeds are writ in gore, Nor written thus in vain – Thy triumphs tell of fame no more, Or deepen every stain: If thou hadst died as Honour dies.  Some new Napoleon might arise, To shame the world again – But who would soar the solar height, To set in such a starless night? 12. Weighed in the balance, hero dust  Is vile as vulgar clay; Thy scales, Mortality! are just To all that pass away: But yet methought the living great Some higher sparks should animate,  To dazzle and dismay: Nor deem’d Contempt could thus make mirth Of these, the Conquerors of the earth. 13. And she, proud Austria’s mournful flower, Thy still imperial bride; How bears her breast the torturing hour? Still clings she to thy side? Must she too bend, must she too share Thy late repentance, long despair, Thou throneless Homicide?  If still she loves thee, hoard that gem, – ’Tis worth thy vanished Diadem!14. Then haste thee to thy sullen Isle, And gaze upon the Sea; That element may meet thy smile – It ne’er was ruled by thee! 22: Napoleon’s second wife, Maria Louisa, daughter of the Austrian Emperor.23: Elba. Or trace with thine all idle hand In loitering mood upon the sand That Earth is now as free! That Corinth’s pedagogue hath now  Transferred his by-word to thy brow. – 15. Thou Timour! in his Captive’s cage * What thoughts will there be thine, While brooding in thy prisoned rage? But one – “The World was mine!”  Unless, like he of Babylon, All Sense is with thy Sceptre gone, Life will not long confine That Spirit poured so widely forth – So long obeyed – so little worth!  * The cage of Bajazet, by order of Tamerlane. 16. Or, like the thief of fire * from heaven, Wilt thou withstand the shock? And share with him, the unforgiven, His vulture and his rock! Foredoomed by God – by man accurst, And that last act, though not thy worst, The very Fiend’s arch mock; † He in his fall preserved his pride, And, if a mortal, had as proudly died! * Prometheus.† “The fiend’s arch mock—“To lip a wanton, and suppose her chaste.”— Shakespeare.29 There was a day – there was an hour,  24: English naval victories, particularly those of Nelson, had destroyed French naval power.25: Dionysus the Younger of Syracuse, the tyrant whom Plato tried to tutor, was expelled from the cityand set himself up as a schoolteacher in Corinth.26: Nebuchadnezzar.27: BYRON’S NOTE: Legend has it that, upon defeating him, Tamburlaine the Great imprisonedBajazet, the Turkish Emperor, in a travelling cage. Byron parallels Bajazet with Napoleon andTamburlaine with Wellington.28: BYRON’S NOTE: Prometheus, who was punished by Zeus for stealing fire from Heaven andgiving it to Man. Fastened to a rock, he was visited daily by a vulture which ate his liver. B. wrote thefollowing at some time in 1814, addressed to Napoleon, and referring to Prometheus:Unlike the offence, though like would be the fate,His to give life, but thine to desolate;He stole from Heaven the flame, for which he fell,Whilst thine was stolen from the native Hell. (CPW III 269)29: BYRON’S NOTE: Iago’s words at Othello, IV i 70-1. While earth was Gaul’s – Gaul thine – When that immeasurable power Unsated to resign Had been an act of purer fame Than gathers round Marengo’s name And gilded thy decline, Through the long twilight of all time, Despite some passing clouds of crime. 18. But thou forsooth must be a King And don the purple vest, As if that foolish robe could wring Remembrance from thy breast. Where is that faded garment? where The gewgaws thou wert fond to wear, The star,31 the string, the crest? Vain froward child of Empire! say, Are all thy playthings snatched away?19. Where may the wearied eye repose When gazing on the Great; Where neither guilty glory glows,  Nor despicable state? Yes – One – the first – the last – the best – The Cincinnatus of the West, Whom Envy dared not hate, Bequeathed the name of Washington, To make man blush there was but one!] 30: Napoleon won the battle of Marengo in 1800.31: For second thoughts here, see On the Star of the Legion of Honour (printed below).32: Lucius Quinctius Cincinattus was always being called from his farm to rule Rome, and alwaysreturning. B. would have us see Washington as a similarly austere Republican hero, unlike Napoleon.33: The following two spurious stanzas were printed in The Morning Chronicle of April 27th 1814: 20. Yes! better to have stood the storm, A Monarch to the last! Although that heartless fireless form Had crumbled in the blast: Than stoop to drag out Life’s last years, The nights of terror, days of tears For all the splendour past; Then, – after ages would have read Thy awful death with more than dread. 21. A lion in the conquering hour! In wild defeat a hare! Thy mind hath vanished with thy power, For Danger brought despair. The dreams of sceptres now depart, And leave thy desolated heart The Capitol of care! Dark Corsican, ’tis strange to trace

“Vit Aggression” was a Swedish white power music group active during the late 80’s and 90’s. The members were affiliated with the Swedish branch of the Neo-Nazi organization “White Aryan Resistance” and they named their first album “Död åt Zog”, or “ Death to the Zionist Occupational Government”. Their sound is a mix between punk rock and heavy metal fairly typical for bands active on the white power scene In 1998 Vit Aggression played at the Brottby Neo-Nazi rock concert. Riot police ended up storming the concert and arresting 250 participants, most for hate speech and for doing Nazi salutes. Earlier, in 1991, they played at an event organized by the Sweden Democrats, a Swedish far right party with roots in Neo-Nazism, after a demonstration they held at the statue of Charles XII in Stockholm. Today the Sweden Democrats are Sweden’s third largest political party, with opinion polls for a time showing them to be the second largest.

It seemed as though nothing could stop the advance of Charles XII, with a Polish candidate of his choosing on the throne, Denmark peaced out and only Russia remaining a burden. Rather than make a peace though, Charles remained focused on taking the fight to Moscow, and this would prove to be the worst mistake of his life.

It's just Blind Mike and Caleb this week, and they decide to challenge themselves to make an episode with the MPAA rules for a PG-13 movie rating. A lot of fun is had, and then they start using trailer voice over voices at each other and things get ridiculous. Oh and some Swedish History is briefly discussed.

The Great Northern War pitted the Swedish Empire at the peak of its power against its southern and eastern neighbors, Denmark, Poland-Lithuania, Saxony and seemingly weak and backward Russia in a war that raged from 1700-1721.  The Swedish army was the terror of Europe and was led by Sweden's young king, Charles XII, who had ascended the throne at the age of 18 when his father suddenly died.  In the opening years of the war, Sweden systematically crushed each enemy in turn, beginning with Denmark who surrendered after only four months of contending with Charles' military killing machine.  One by one every kingdom withdrew from the war until there was only one.  The weakness and backwardness of Russia's armies were also exposed early in the war at Narva when Sweden's army routed a Russian force three times its size, but withdrawing into its vast hinterland, Tsar Peter the Great completely reorganized his army.  By 1709, Peter was ready for a showdown with the "invincible" army of Sweden at Poltava.  The complete triumph of Russia over Sweden in this unusual battle marked the entry of Russia into Great Power status in Europe, a status that continues to this day.  Listen to how the world was forever changed in this titanic contest over two decades and the story of two young monarchs thrust by history into greatness and tragedy. 

Charles XII of Sweden was a thorn in Peter I's side for many years. Here I give a brief overview of his life and impact on the world.

Peter, fresh from his Great Embassy, embarks on the Great Northern War against Sweden.
