The book is his first-person account: a group of twenty men and one woman, service as a courier in the Polish Żydzi organization, illegal printing presses, arrests, Gestapo informants, and underground courts, a Polish order for a Ukrainian, and even a trip to Paris as a Polish courier. The preface explains the background: after the destruction of Poland, the OUN was preparing to fight Bolshevism, while hostility toward Ukrainians was growing in the Polish resistance.

The action takes place in the summer of 1709 in the Turkish-occupied city of Ochakov after the defeat at Poltava: the officers’ council, the tumultuous Sich council in the square outside the fortress, Mazepa’s sharp dispute with the Cossack Host’s starshyna Kost Hordiienko, whom Hetman Pylyp Orlyk defends, and the Hetman’s death, with which the play concludes. The titles of the acts are lines spoken by the characters themselves: “The Hetman did not love the eagle!”, “We will divide the Hetman’s treasures!”, “You have crucified me to death!”. Poetic monologues alternate with extensive stage directions, and the book opens with “Dramatis Personae”—historical notes on Mazepa and the other characters.
