'''Pokémon''' is a highly successful Japanese franchise that was introduced by [[Nintendo]] in the 1990s. The name is a [[portmanteau]] of the "Pocket Monsters", which serves as the Japanese title of the series. It spread to several other countries in a short time.

The video game was the basis for the popular children's television show, Pokémon and helped to spawn a large amount of merchandise and a successful trading card game.
To those unfamiliar with the video games, they basically mix world exploring in a way similar to the "[[Legend of Zelda]]" games (also by [[Nintendo]]), capturing & cataloging wild animals called "Pokemon" that have cutesy species names such as "Wild Rattata", "Wild Pidgey", "Pikachu" & "Nidoran" (among others) in the same way some people collect [[Baseball]] cards or "[[Garbage Pail Kids]]" stickers, using a device called a "Pokeball". Once captured, you can battle them against other Pokemon to either scare them away or weaken them enough to capture them with a Pokeball. The battles are done in a sort of "[[Rock-Paper-Scissors]]" style way, taking it in turns to make a move. It is widely known that pokemon was created by Satan, as a way to turn kids into mindless drones for the armies of hell. Another thing of note, is that pokemon causes seizures, yet another way for Satan to control kids. Once they have a seizure, it is because they saw the eyes of satan in the Pokemon.

Flying Spaghetti Monster

The '''Flying Spaghetti Monster'' began as a critique of the [[Kansas Board of Education]]'s decision to allow the teaching of [[Intelligent Design]] in public schools. Believing that [[Intelligent Design]] was a thinly-veiled attempt to bring religion into the classroom, Henderson constructed "Pastafarianism" as a new theological system and argued that it too should be taught alongside Evolution and [[Intelligent Design]].<ref>[http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/08/27/AR2005082700019.html?nav=most_emailed Verbatim: Noodle This, Kansas - Washington Post]</ref> on the notion of "teaching the controversy."

Zaporozhian Kozak

2007-04-20T21:11:53Z

BlahBlah:

[[image:Asj45jha.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Repin's "The Cossacks"]]
'''Ukrainian Kozaks''' (Ukrainian: Козак; English: Cossack) were Ukrainians who lived in the [[Steppes]]. They are referred to as the [[Zaporozhian]] Kozaks or sometimes the [[Dnieper]] Kozaks. The term Kozak can also be applied to the many different Russian Kozak Hosts, who are distinctly different in both history and culture than their Ukrainian counterparts. The Ukrainian Kozaks were known for fighting fiercely to protected or gain their independence.

== Zaporozhian Sich ==
The Zaporozhian Sich was the military, administrative, economic and political center of the Ukrainian Kozaks. The leaders of the Sich were known as Hetmans and Atamans. The elected legislature was known as the Rada. These leaders were elected by the people. All men, no matter what his former legal status or origins may be, was free to vote<ref>Ivan Krypyakevych. "History of Ukraine". New York: Shkilnoyi Rady, 1961.</ref>. The Zaporozhian army was divided into regiments, [[sotni]] which were Kozak squadrons, and [[kurens]] which were units of Zaporozhian Kozak troops. The leader of the army was either the [[Hetman]] or the [[Ataman]]. The army's office was run by the chief military clerk and the court. The ataman's military assistants were known as [[Esauls]]. The Sich was divided into the rich Kozaks and the poorer ones, who were known as Kozak helpers<ref>http://www.cossacks.kiev.ua/his.html</ref>.

== Polish Intrusion ==
Soon the Expanding Polish Empire came in contact with the Ukrainian peasantry. The Poles tried to turn Ukraine into a [[colony]]. They introduced the manorial system. They tried to convert the [[Orthodox]] Ukrainians to [[Catholicism]] and to Polonism. This caused many peasants to flee and join the Zaporozhians. The Poles intruded on Ukraine and attempted to take away the Kozaks ancient rights. Some concessions were made, such as the creation of the Kozak register which numbered 6000 men and was referred to as “His majesty’s royal Zaporozhian army”, and in 1578 Polish King [[Stephan Batory]] gave them limited freedoms<ref>Lukowski, Jerzy. ''A Concise History of Poland''. Cambridge: University Press, 2001.</ref>. It was not, however, enough. The Polish landowners were very brutal and oppressive. In the 17th century, a series of Kozak revolts began. None of them were successful, and most were brutally stopped. These revolts were led by: [[Kryshtof Kosynsky]] (1591–3), [[Severyn Nalyvaiko]] (1594–6), [[Hryhorii Loboda]] (1596), [[Marko Zhmailo]] (1625), [[Taras Fedorovych]] (1630), [[Ivan Sulyma]] (1635), [[Pavlo Pavliuk]] and [[Dmytro Hunia]] (1637), and [[Yakiv Ostrianyn]] and [[Karpo Skydan]] (1638). Even though the Kozaks were engaged in struggles with the Poles, they also aided them against the Russians in 1618 and at the Battle of [[Khotyn]] in 1621<ref>Subtelny, Orest. ''Ukraine - A History.'' Toronto; University of Toronto Press, 1993</ref>.

== Ukrainian War of Liberation ==
[[image:166px-BChmielnicki.jpg|thumb|right| ''Bohdan Khmelnytsky'']]
The most famous uprising against the Poles occurred in 1648 and lasted until 1654. It was led by the Kozaks most famous Hetman, [[Bohdan Khmelnytsky]](''right''). With the aid of the [[Crimean Tatars]], Khmelnytsky dealt the [[Polish Commonwealth]] disastrous defeats in early 1648, and these victories attracted many peasants to join the rebellion. At the height of this rebellion, Khmelnytsky commanded over 150,000 men<ref>Zamoyski, Adam. ''The Polish Way''. New York: Hippocrene, 1987</ref>. The Kozaks and Poles dealt with each other ruthlessly, with the Kozaks massacring the Polish landowners and the [[Jews]], and the Poles massacring the Ukrainian [[peasants]]. In the union of [[Pereiaslavl]] in 1654 the Ukrainians pledged there loyalty to the Russian [[Tsar]] [[Alexie]], in turn for protection from the Poles. This proved to be a mistake, as the Russians had no plans for a free Kozak Ukraine. Khmelnytsky died in 1657, and his successors, [[Ivan Vykhovsky]], [[Petro Doroshenko]], and [[Ivan Mazepa]], tried to separate Ukraine from Russia but failed. Ukraine was then split into two areas: left-bank and right-bank. Neither was fully independent<ref>Riasanovsky, Nicholas V. “A History of Russia” Oxford: University Press, 2005. Page 165. </ref>.

== Destruction of the Sich ==
The Kozaks lived with limited independence until the year 1775, when Russian [[Empress]] [[Catherine the Great]] abolished the Sich. The Hetmanate also was destroyed. Over time the Russians created various Kozak regiments when they needed them<ref>Riasanovsky, Nicholas V. “A History of Russia” Oxford: University Press, 2005. Page 244.</ref>. Future attempts by others to revive Ukrainian Kozakdom failed, but the spirit of the Kozaks remained as the Ukrainians fought for their independence which they finally gained in 1918. Many Ukrainian leaders were the descendents of Kozak families. Ukraines national anthem makes a reference to their Kozak heritage, calling Ukraine the "Kozak Nation".

== Kozaks in Literature ==
The most famous instances of Kozaks in literature are in the novels “[[Taras Bulba]]” by Ukrainian author [[Mykola Hohol]], and the novel “[[With Fire and Sword]]” by Polish nationalist [[Henryk Sienkiewicz]]. “With Fire and Sword” is very controversial, as it portrays the Kozaks in a negative light. The book is not widely appreciated in Ukraine. “With Fire and Sword” was also made into a movie in 1999.

Ukrainian genocide

BlahBlah:

The word '''Holodomor''' (Ukrainian: Голодомор) is the name given to the [[genocide]] of the [[Ukrainian]] people around the years 1932-1933. The name literally means "death by hunger". Holodomor was a man-made famine carried out by [[Stalin]] and the Soviets to intentionally destroy the nationalistic Ukrainian people who posed a threat to the Soviet Union. The Soviets forcibly collectivized almost all of the Ukrainian farms in the "breadbasket of the world" and stole the peasant’s food, thereby creating a devastating famine.

==Memorials and Remembrances==
The fourth Sunday of November is officially Holodomor Remembrance Day<ref>http://www.artukraine.com/famineart/forcedfam.htm</ref>. President [[Viktor Yushchenko]] has proposed a bill in [[Verkhovna Rada]], Ukraine's parliament, to strenghthen punishment for denial of Holodomor<ref>http://ww8.president.gov.ua/en/news/data/1_14606.html</ref> There are many memorials for Holodomor victims throughout North America and Ukraine, the most famous being in [[Kiev|Kyiv]](Kiev).
