Wandering the Edge

The Not-so-Princes of Thieves: Ukrainian Robin Hoods


Listen Later

Robin Hoods weren’t only around in the English countryside and in this episode we’ll learn that almost every culture has their version of a Robin Hood type – even in ancient times! But who were Ukraine's Robin Hoods? Well - there are a couple, but the ones discussed truly commanded respect and did actually steal from the rich and gave to the poor. This episode is about the famous (and infamous) Oleksa Dovbush and the lesser known Andriy Savka. Along the way we'll learn about Ukrainian regional breakfast food and give you some hotel advice if you're even in the Carpathian Mountains!
