During the 16th and 17th centuries, the Zaporozhian Cossacks developed a distinctive military community known for its elected leadership, cavalry and infantry traditions, and frequent campaigns along the Dnieper River and the Black Sea.

Rather than accepting his demands, the Cossacks supposedly gathered to compose an outrageous reply filled with mockery, insults and irreverent humor.
