Here's a pic of Volodymyr Zelenskyy & Olena Zelenska. I really love this pic. It's from the D-Day Memorial. I'm sure they still had thoughts about the attacks by terrorist ����🇺 against Ukraine,but it was nice to see them both smiling. I hope that all Ukrainians can smile again soon.

Stanisław Kaczor Batowski, Atak Husarii. Chocim (Hussars's charge. Chocim)

1917, oil on canvas

Notes: The painting depicts 1621 Battle of Chocim /Khotyn. Forces of Rzeczpospolita (Polish, Lithuanian, and Ruthenian [Ukrainian] Cossacs) countered and delayed the invasion of Ottoman Empire. Hussars were the elite cavalry, the pride of Rzeczpospolita, known for their battle prowess and characteristic uniforms with wings (but it's disputable if the wings were really worn in battles)

would it be okay if i, as a Feminist, had once fought in the Battle of Khotyn as a winged hussar

And here is another pic of Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Olena Zelenska from much happier times. I'm a few days late, but I hope they were able to have at least a little bit of a wedding anniversary celebration on September 6th. They have been married since 2003.
