II Cossack Festival "Pidkova"

 

The second All-Ukrainian Cossack Festival "Pidkova" (in honor of Hetman Ivan Pidkova) was held in Kanev in 2021.

At one time, Kaniv was considered the capital of the Cossacks. It is no coincidence that such Otamans and Hetmans as Samiylo Kishka, Yakiv Shah, Ivan Pidkova rest here...

It was here, in Kanev, that the first Cossack Sich was formed.

Cossacks from Zaporizhzhya Sich demonstrated to the audience the weapons of those times, in particular, a spear, a bow, a whip, a club, and, of course, a Cossack saber. Also, residents of Kaniv and guests of the city had the opportunity to see how a Cossack cannon fires.
And for the bravest Cossacks, the Zaporozhians arranged demonstration performances, master classes and saber duels.
