According to the research staff of the museum - reserve "Field of Poltava Battle" Shendrik LK and Azarov AV, Peter I and other Muscovite tsars set a task for government agencies and the church in Ukraine to destroy everything that could remind Ukrainians of Hetman Mazepa. To this end, Moscow's power in Ukraine, along with the annual anathemas, destroyed all the images of Hetman Mazepa on the pictures in the churches, the icons and engravings. As a result of tsarist Russia's actions now places without accurate representation of the exterior of the Hetman and the reliability of images for all 16 versions of his portraits. (c)

I think that this picture may be interested in someone in the Ukraine.
