Because of the cruelty of the rulers, a group of Hutsuls flee to the mountains and become “Opryshki” or Lvivians – a primarily Ukrainian peasant insurrectionary movement in Galicia, Transcarpathia, Bukovina for personal rights and freedom, during the period from the 16th to the first half of the 19th century). As a result, Oleksa becomes the leader of the rebels in the struggle for freedom, and Ivan becomes a robber. |
