This is Hetman Bogdan Hmelnitzki of the Zaporozhne Cossacks.
In 1648 he fought the Poles who occupied Ukraine .
In this process abt. 100,000 Jews were cruelly massacred .
So they say , it may be more or may be less.
His picture is on the 5 hrivnya note in current use.
5 hrivnya for 100,000 jews . This is 20,000 jews for one hrivnya.
This is really a bargain.
You cant get them cheaper ,believe me.
