Me and the boys talking about my ex

My favorite part is the guy writing the letter who is clearly sober and just smiling quietly in the midst of the chaos, but is writing down everything they're saying. It's like that one quiet kid in class who could get away with murder and knows it.

A normal day in Twitter.

The Repin painting of this scene is one of my favorites. The guys on there look so alive and so friendly, you really wanna party with them.

Historical accuracy aside, the reply letter in popular culture is entertaining. Paraphrasing the numerous titles of the ruler of the Sublime Porte, the cossacks address the letter to "accursed Sultan, satan and serpent of the world and brother of the Devil, shoe merchant of Stambul, winegrower of greater and lesser Egypt, cook of Babylon and barrel maker of Assyria, pederast of Mecca and perfumer of Medina, grand cobbler of Jerusalem and beggar of Antioch."

I pity the poor soul that had to read this to the Sultan.

Sultan Mehmed's deserved this letter. After having been defeated in battle, the Sultan had the gall to ask the victors to submit to his authority.

When you forget to upgrade diplomacy skills

In the grand tradition of Zhuge Liang's _"And now I will write him such a letter that he will die."_

It's always nice to remind yourself that people always had a sense of humour, many want to push history as a horrible thing filled eith grey, humorless people.

People with sweet moustaches roast the ever-living shit out of the Sultan, circa whenever this happened

Legends says that the Mehmet tried to kill hedgehog with bare ass few times, but was unsucessful and as such, he was never considered as knight in the eyes of cossacks.

Worth noting that all these rhymed insults are ment to mock all these different fancy titles the Sultan gives to himself in his own letter to them (which their letter is ment to be a responce of)

Roasted so good even to this day we’re still talking about it

Interesting thing is that Mehmed IV himself was part Ukrainian via his mother Turhan Sultan and his great-great-great-great-grandmother Hurrem Sultan.

Smoking and laughing with the boys, it's just perfect👌

and because of this, to this day "hardcore" translates to polish as "kozak"

I wonder how the Mehmed took this.

Me and the boys raiding a gay communist discord:

It's even funnier when you realize that the comment section is full of bots defending the Turks

For the Ottoman Empire, the administration of the northern regions of the empire was always problematic because they were forested areas, without roads, where the locals hid and waged a guerrilla war. Most of the time, the Turks preferred to leave the locals alone in exchange for a tribute. The movement of the army in these areas was expensive and ineffective from an economic point of view.

Fun fact: 1676-1681 War resulted with Ottoman victory

This brought the painting to live and i fricking love it

Ukrainians writing an email to putin right now:

Historical trashtalk

I like how a lot of replies are coming from bots that defend the ottoman empire... Smh you can't escape from history, real patriotism is when you respect not only your victories but defeats too. Here's a lesson, Turks.

Me and the boyz when the jocks hassle us for lunch money

not a cellphone in sight, just people living by the moment

I'm a writer. My career aspirations are that one day I can be half as happy writing anything as the Zaporozhian Cossacks were writing that filthy letter.

Me and the boys responding to an IRS audit

It is the dramatisation of the real event which goes as follows: In 1675, the Turkish army advanced to the north and attacked the territories controlled by the Cossacks in the lower reaches of the Dnieper. However, although outnumbered, the Turks were thoroughly defeated. But a great empire like the Ottoman Empire could not be defeated by winning a single battle. The very next year, an even larger and better equipped sultan's army was ready to finally break out on the southern Russian border. In accordance with the customs of his ancestors, which the Turks claimed originated from the time of Muhammad, Sultan Mehmed IV sent a letter to his enemies. In short, he offers them the option of surrendering, giving him the lands he asks for, and continuing to live by the rules of the new empire, which would swallow up their territory. Throughout history, there have been surprisingly many cases where the response to this letter has been positive, as rulers often tried to save their lives in this way, terrified by the force that was brought down upon them. To Mehmed's surprise, the Cossack reaction was different. "I Sultan; son of Muhammad; brother of the sun and the moon; grandson and messenger of God; ruler of the kingdoms of Macedonia, Babylon, Jerusalem, Upper and Lower Egypt; king of kings; sovereign of sovereigns; invincible knight; guardian of the tomb of Jesus Christ; chosen by God himself; the hope and consolation of all Muslims; protector of Christians - I order you, Cossacks from Zaporozhye, to submit to me voluntarily and without resistance, and to stop causing me problems with your attacks." - Letter of Sultan Mehmed IV The letter that the Cossacks received could not go unanswered. Rjepin, with his masterpiece, depicted the exact moment when the Cossack champions were coming up with an answer to this letter. The central position in the picture is occupied by the legendary Cossack ataman Ivan Sirko. Around him are his comrades, who greatly enjoy their own answer. It should be noted that in the original version the letter was written in verse, which only enhances its effect. The answer that the Cossacks sent to the Turkish sultan was as follows: "O sultan, Turkish devil, accursed satanic friend, follower of Lucifer. What kind of devil's knight are you, when you couldn't even kill a hedgehog with your bare dick? The devil eats, and your army eats! Thou shalt not, son of a whore, enslave Christian sons; we are not afraid of your army, and we will fight against you both on water and on land, your mother! You unbaptised, beast of Babylon, desecrator of holy Jerusalem, goat* of Alexandria, pig's head of Egypt (both upper and lower), Armenian pig and Tartar goat, horse thief of Canayamet, villain of Anatolia, grandson of the devil, fool, you pig's brat, donkey donkey, clown from this world and the other world, butcher's dog, unbaptised bull, we are your mother! That's how Cossacks from Zaporizhia answer you, nit. You won't even herd pigs for Christians, let alone rule over Christians. We don't have a calendar and we don't know what the date is. The moon is in the sky, it is the year of the Lord, and the day is the same here as there. And you and your Turks kiss our ass." The answer was signed with "Ataman Ivan Sirko and the brotherhood of the Cossacks from Zaporozhye", so that formally this witty piece could be called a letter. And it was Ilja Rjepin's painting that best evoked the atmosphere in which this hilarious text was created. There are few Russian pictures in which there are so many smiles, as in the picture of the Cossack warriors. Rjepin continued to produce superb paintings, and was one of the most important Russian painters at the turn of the century. It is interesting that he tried to make another version, smaller in dimensions, but he did not manage to finish it. This was done by his students, and the second version of the "Answer" is today in the museum in Kharkiv. The original painting, two meters high and over three and a half wide, has been in the State Russian Museum in Saint Petersburg since the end of the 19th century, a museum built in honor of Alexander III, the emperor who bought the painting from Ilya Repin.

🇺🇦 ...now lets send putin a copy

Sirko was from Vinnytsia. He would be called 'ukrop nazi' today by Russians who admire that work of Repin. P.S. Repin died in Finland.

Can we rework the letter to be addressed to Putin?

Such a letter has never existed in the Turkish archives and sources. They mythologised and illustrated the answer they could not give in reality. What a pity. :DD

I would really hate my friends for making me send a letter like this to a dangerous man.

Nicest Ukrainian letter

It's all fun and games until they hear throat singing

A real Ukrainian look. lovely.

LOL DID THEY JUST ACTUALLY MADE FUN TO THE OTTOMAN SULTAN BUTT??!! xD

The funny thing is while Cossacks imitated Turkic culture, the Sultan was imitating Arabs and Persians.

Интересный факт, все нижеуказанные войны закончились победой Российской Империи над Османской Империей: 1. Русско-турецкая война 1568-1570 г.; 2. Ру́сско-туре́цкая война́ 1686-1700 г.; 3.

You should do a video on the artwork of Ernst Ferdinand Oehme.

This is brilliant!

It would take a large amount of ink to address the Sultan by his all titles.

Maybe its time to write a new letter addressed to Pootin

the first shitpost in history

What film is this from? Just reading The Cossacks by John Ure and its a very interesting part of history!

Reply of Ukrainians to Sergei Lavrov.

What an irony of fate, that now the "Devil" has changed his coordinates, being their rus brother in religion. Certainly if they fought on the side of the Turks, the history of the region would change to better.

Based Ottoman mockery 🤣

Now they will say 'Dear Tsar, we chased your armies out of our capital and towns close to it. We will chase you out of our land very soon'

I and the boys when the, “Depressed” emo girl says, “You guys are sooo mean..”: Us laughing not knowing what she’s saying (we aren’t fluent in English):

This is the ukranian reply to Putins "peace" offer

Cossaks... last men on earth. They've carved a land out of tatars' territory to run away from oppression. What a legendary story has no equal in modern history only maybe perhaps american constitution. All of that is gone (both) what heroic times i wish i lived in those times.

Fun fact this letter was never send to the sultan

What I mean when I say "per my last email..."

Epic Slav trolling

ukrainian diplomacy

A letter of the Ukraine cossacks to the sultan of moscow Ha Ha Ha

Love this, what is the clip from? A movie or something?

So brave!

Full content of the letter is hilarious search it up 😂 Slava rodu 💪🏻

Tsar of all Rus, you who said can conquer Kyiv in two weeks. We do not fear your armies.

They won and had laugh at the time. The Ottomans eventually defeated them. But to give them credit the Cossacks where brave warriors.

In reality, Zaporozhian cossacks are today's whatever is left of Ukrainian Cossacks, the historical hiearchy of cossack power and authority are as follows: 1. Don Cossacks obove all others, 2. Cuban Cossacks, 3. Tersky Cossacks, and then all others including Zaporozhian. The absolute heart and power of all cossack tribes was and still is the Don Cossacks of the Rostov on Don region of the Don steppes!

"Reply of the Zaporozhian Cossacks depicts a supposedly historical tableau, set in 1676, and based" Yes, very.

average post game chat

If your democracy is not like this, I don't need it 🇺🇦😄

After a failed uprising led by Macedonian, Karposh, which resulted in a very bloody battle against the Ottoman Turks, and in order not to have their families killed, many Macedonians moved first to Vojvodina, and from there to Ukraine which was then part of Tsarist Russia (Russian Empire). Immediately after their arrival in Ukraine, the Macedonians wanted to continue the fight against the Turks, and joined the Russian army. This was the first creation of the Macedonian Regiment, which later fought in many other wars led by the Russian Army. Macedonians in the Russian army became known for their courage and fighting spirit, and were sent to the frontline with the bravest warriors, the Russian Cossacks.

What movie is this ?

what series?

This is what Zelensky should send to Putin when Emperor of China Xi will reject their cries for help.

I hate that people take this is a offense or try offend somebody with this hundrets of years after it happended

From my south slav point is sad fact that we slavs most time in our history fight each other..

And then thet have accepted the truce after seeing only 5k scouts. Drinking is not a goıd habit sometimes for sure

Hopefully they will be able to send a similar follow-up to Putin.

the oldest shitpost in history

Interesting ...thanks.

the writer: Oh God i love these guys......

very good movie. How is the movie called? I would love to see it. очень хороший фильм. Как называется фильм? Я хотел бы видеть его.

Ukrainians should write a letter like this to Tsar Putin after whooping Russian army

What is the name of the movie

Me and the boys trash talking the other team

It is literally impossible to understate that this group acts and dresses like pirates of the high seas. Makes me wonder why they don't get together with the Turkish and consolidate territory to one place. A perfect example of how to fraternize and stir other groups into a state of hysteria. Wait, that is still going on in the 21st century?

Lol, I read this letter full version, it's much more detailed lmao

Funny thing is that this letter didn't go to Sultan, bad thing is that they died as pigs in Chehrin.

the funniest thing is this that this really happen

Me and the boys when we answers back to the parking ticket fine

This is art imitating art, people, it's like "Prisoners from the Front" in "Gettysburg" or "Glory", or kind of like stepping out back into the Walmart Parking lot or exiting Dollar Tree and - or Dollar General and going like "Wow, nice, I am Bilingual now!!!!!!!!"

Dross?

This was the predecessor to modern Twitter flame war XD

I bet the sultan reported them to HR

Zaporozhia sending a scornful insult to Ottomans

I am a Christian but support all old European cultures (just not all religions lol).

then they really wanted to send it, but then it turned out that srashev had peace with the sultan. - Here's the dog. said one of the Cossacks

That kind of messages never have sent by cossacks nor answered by ottomans. That's clear visible on the so called answer of the ottoman Sultan, that claims the sultan declares himself as "son of Mohammad and grandson of Allah". If any sultan would say that, Ulema (the scholars and religious leaders) would declare that sultan is an infidel and that would result with dethronement and beheading of Sultan.

Hope this letter would fit well for Putin, aka Today’s Sultan of Russia right now. No offense, but he should really deserved this letter before losing this sad excuse of a war as well

What’s the name of this movie ?
