That's how the Cossacks called people who had supernatural abilities: to heal wounds, put the dead on their feet, and catch cannonballs on the fly. Sirko fought about 60 battles, was incredibly popular among the Cossacks, and was known far beyond the borders of Ukraine. He is one of the key figures in the history of the Ukrainian Cossacks.
