In this episode of The History of Ukraine, Lucas and Luna explore the little-known history of the Dnieper Flotilla — a unique naval force that operated on the Dnieper River from the Cossack era through World War II. They discuss how the Cossacks used small, maneuverable chaiky boats to raid Ottoman and Polish targets, and how the flotilla was revived under the Russian Empire and later the Soviet Union. The episode covers key engagements like the 1739 Dnieper expedition during the Russo-Turkish War and the flotilla's role in the 1944 Korsun-Cherkassy Pocket. Lucas also highlights the legendary Cossack sea campaigns against the Turks, the construction of the Dnieper Hydroelectric Station, and the flotilla's eventual dissolution after World War II. Along the way, Luna asks about the strategic importance of the Dnieper, the design of Cossack boats, and the fate of the flotilla's surviving ships. This episode offers a fresh angle on Ukraine's military heritage, focusing on a river that has been both a lifeline and a battlefield for centuries.
