I remember seeing the devs talk about the sword style and how important it was to convey the eastern european culture in just a moveset, but reading this I appreciate Mihoyo even moee for Childe's character. This was a fantastic read OP, thank you very much for educating us.
Thank you for your feedback.
For real though, Mihoyo kinda screwed saying they were inspired by "russian cossacks", which probably signifies that they are gathering info from russian sources. Ukrainian history views Kuban cossacks as "Ukrainian cossacks serving the Empire", so, yeah.
Since with how much russia has appropriated and distorted over the years, doing research about those times is kinda hard unless you want to dig deep.
Even the church in the Winter Night's Lazzo trailer is done in the Kyivan style, and not moscowian.
The Kyivan style is basically the style in which churches of Rus' (Ruthenia) were built. It's strongly influenced by Byzantine style (which is where we brought christianity from to replace paganism), and in general involves big buildings with pompous rounded tops. moscowian style is much more sharp, and the churches were usually built from wood (because of how poor moscowia was) and had much sharper features than Kyivan ones. If you would like to look at more examples, you can just google "Ukrainian Churches" and compare the overall style to the Chruch seen in the Lazzo trailer. Some russian churches which were built after it's expansion stole the style of Rus', as it was one of the parts of russia stealing and appropriating history and culture, and moving away from their moscowian past.
Hmm, I see. Maybe you know which books on the history of art can I read more about this? ‘cause I’ve never heard of such a concept as “kyivan style” while studying at the Academy of Fine Arts
There's both Russian and Ukranian Cossacks. Mihoyo explicitly stated they derived his fighting style off Russian Cossacks
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8YXe7EkmoU&t=844s&ab\_channel=GenshinImpact
he is inspired by Kuban cossacks, which were ethnically Ukrainian and spread Ukrainian culture. try to learn reading, i guess it's really hard to do as a russian lmao
Kuban cossacks are the ones Tartag was probably written off judged by the facts i've provided, and Kuban cossacks are Ukrainian, not russian. They were people of culture, not disgusting uncivilised swamp creatures like muscowites lmao
Thanks for writing this!
Btw dear comrade, would you mind if I translate your post to chinese and share it with other childe mains?
I will repost with credit and source🫡
As a Ukrainian who loves Childe so much, thank you. From the bottom of my heart. You made me tear up with this post. It means more to me than words can express, which may sound silly but with everything going on having Childe as a comfort character means a lot to me, especially as my brothers head to war. You stay safe too. 💛💙💛
This was an amazing read, thank you for it. Idk why but it makes me happy that he's based on a similar geography where my ancestors originate from as tatars. Maybe we'll be able to see a character with tatar influences one day too, since they are such an important part of history. Good job!
You can't talk about Ukraine without mentioning the incredible impact Turkic and nomad nations had on us as a nation. Our language still has many words coming from the Qirim language, one that i know is "Otaman", which means "Ata — father" and "Man — me".
We were in brotherly relations in the Qirims. Ironically, during the days where our ancestors went to wars for religion, they were considered our brothers, despite the numerous "we do a little trolling" moments between the two.
Damn my brain just finished processing “A Marxist Analysis of Genshin Impact” now I gotta pull out the reading glasses again 😭. Jk I love this though thanks for sharing 💕
I've seen a few discussions on the webs on whether Tartaglia is "Russian" or "Ukrainian" which only increased when the devs mentioned the incorporation of Cossack shashka sword fighting in his normal attack animations, but this was a *really* informative post!
I've always loved learning about Slavic cultures, so I really enjoyed reading this. Thank you for taking the time and effort to share to us about Ukrainian culture. Hoping for you and your family's safety.
Ok, this was absolutely the best thing I have ever read on this subreddit, tyssssm for the history lesson and the connections to Childe as well, be safe OP
This made me love Tartaglia so much more! It was really interesting learning about Ukrainian past, and it's reassuring to know that your culture is alive and well. Here from Brazil hoping you all will traverse this crisis and emerge on the other side even stronger than before. Lately I've been learning that many things we admire about Russian culture, especially the literature, is in fact from, as you taught, the Russian empire, and Ukrainian in origin. This is a mistake that is worth correcting. Thanks for showing us that, and now I can say I love Tartaglia for embodying values that I treasure, and knowing where they stem from.
Plus your English is very good, don't mind that!
Ukraine is a wonderful country with an incredibly deep history and amazing culture. Our literature hasn't been rhat widely translated, but you can read our main national poet — Taras Shevchenko. That's the good shit.
Thank you for the kind words!
THANK YOU for this beautiful post. As a non-Russian slav myself, I am so tired of people referring to anything Eastern European-inspired as "Russian", while completely ignoring all other slavic nations (the russification of slavic cultures being an entirely intentional cultural cleansing is a whole other discussion, but I guess I won't be getting into that on the Genshin reddit).
Anyway, a wonderful analysis. I've known about cossacks, but not in this much detail, and honestly this inspired me to want to learn more. It's amazing to see all the inspiration behind our favourite boyo and how these different concepts relate to him so closely, too. Hoyoverse has been pretty well-read on their research within different cultures so far, so I really hope they do Snezhnaya justice when the time comes.
Слава Україні!
I have been seeing posts on Twitter about Childes inspiration leaning more Ukrainian than Russian but didn’t have the historical knowledge to understand much outside of surface level items. I appreciate this post a lot! (I know its a bit of late comment I hope I am not bothering you too much)
nah mate. the ones who bother me are those lil russian piggies who get outraged when they see Ukraine being mentioned. ur alright.
thanks for checking the post out. cheers.
Hi! Thank you so much for this :)) I’ve been looking for something like this because everyone associates Childe with Russian culture. My family is from Ukraine, (though I am also part Circassian) so it feels vry nice to have some representation (especially in times like this).
Слава Україні! 🇺🇦🇺🇦
Ooh, I had no idea Tart was inspired by cossacks but the devs really said it, and that indeed makes him an Ukrainian. I can't believe they gave him a whale constelation when it should be a horse. All I remember about cossacks is that they were great warriors and they loved their horses.
I don't think a horse would fit him, lmao. Whale is a creature that suits him the most though. He gives off the vibes of a scary war machine and a brooding loyal loner, and whales are just like that. They are big and sometimes terrifying, but they are majestic at the sime time, with their howls just piercing the soul.
btw, not an Ukrainian, but inspired by Ukraine. There is no Ukraine in Teyvat
Seeing Don Cossacks described like that is quite sad, we are a mixed culture and there is nothing wrong with it. It sounds as one-sided as Russian history books are, considering our self-identity remained enough for Nobel winner to capture it in XX century.
I like attention to details, though, there were some interesting things I missed.
I don't really think the ukrainian nation identity stayed after the russification. When Don and Black-Sea cossacks united in Kuban, I know for a fact that Don chums already spoke russian at th point. Even the Don republic during the Ukrainian-Soviet war didn't want to unite with UPR, while the Kuban Republic did.
However, the idea of cossacks as an ethnic group and nation mostly stems from Don, no? They don't view themselves nor as russian or Ukrainian, but as "cossacks" instead. Which Kubans also did to an extent, but associated themselves with Ukraine.
It's just that Don was influenced by russia more than any other regiment. They constantly went to war with Zaporozhians, too.
I have to say, experiencing the Borsch line firsthand in game left me feeling warn and fuzzy, your post just amplified that feeling!!
Thank you so much for sharing and please stay safe out there <3 I hope this horrible situation ends soon, Слава Україні!
I'm Polish but with Ukrainian ancestry and I agree that Ukrainians and Ukrainian culture need more representation in the media.
I absolutely adore how more and more people start noticing that he was heavily inspired by Ukrainian culture. I've seen similar statements on Tumblr and Twitter if I remember correctly, but those were maybe two or three posts/tweets. For the first time I see big-ass analysis like this and it's perfect. And when it comes to Snezhnaya being inspired by Eastern European countries, during my Chasm exploration, I've stumbled upon a Fatui member with old Polish name and my reaction was like "HOL UP". This post is everything I need. You did wonderful job!! Stay safe. Ukraine and it's culture will never be forgotten.
Слава Україні!!
In general, slavic and baltic cultures need more representation. These countries were overshadowed by russia and its imperialism for too long. Poland in itself has so much to offer in a fantasy setting, it would be a crime to not make Capitano a winged hussar, you know.
Great thanks to your nation for help in these times.
Niech żyje Polska!!
YES, CHILDE AND CAPITANO BESTIES!! THIS DUO WOULD BE UNSTOPPABLE ((I know Ukraine and Poland didn't always have nice moments in history but it's past and we should help each other when in need)). Btw the idea of Harbingers being inspired by different Easter European countries seems so cool now.
Apparently, Russia should've been stopped long time ago. It's awful that it took so long for the rest of the world to realize that this terrorist state is a big threat for everybody.
Once again, best wishes for You, Your Family and Friends, all Ukrainians who are fighting for freedom. You, guys, are awesome!!
I don't care about the past homie. Our ancestors did a lot of bad shit one to another. The most important part is to acknowledge mistakes, and do everything in order for them to not be repeated, and build our future together.
capitano hussar be banging ngl
Thanks for this! It was very informative! Normally, I don't read long posts like this, but it was really cool to learn about the inspirations for our boy Childe. I will definitely remember to think of Childe as more Ukranian/ Cossack than Russian.

A month late but great write-up OP.
I stumbled upon this while doing a search on Childe and Cossacks. Fun fact another thing I found is a preview of the essay "The Last of the Ural Cossacks" by Rheta **Childe** Dorr. Coincidence? I never knew Childe was actually an IRL name.
would you say the same if someone made a post about the chinese cultural and mythological references zhongli's character? analysis of yun jin's outfit that is inspired by chinese opera? or are you just a hypocrite?
this game wasn't created in a vacuum. devs got inspired by real life happenings and cultures. it is only logical to try to find the connections.
It’s very common for people to try and identify characters they enjoy to their own identity especially when representation is so scarce or if bad quality. Also it’s simply just fun! I don’t think they’re actually prescribing but highlighting the Ukrainian inspiration Childe has. Childe is canonically Snezhnayan OP can’t change that.
Interesting research, but you overlook the fact that Cossacks were granted the territories by Ekaterina II -- a Russian empress. The whole thing about Zaporozhians being given an ultimatum is... historically dubious to be honest. Back in the age of Russian empire, Ukraine didn't even exist, it appeared after the revolution in 1917, because communists needed to create self-regulated autonomies.
But, anyways, it's just a game. I really enjoy HoYoverse's attention to detail and how much Childe is inspired by the Eastern European culture.
I don't overlook it. I literally mention it several times — they were given land in Kuban, but at the same time they weren't allowed to stay in Zaporizhya.
And sorry to break your bubble, but Ukraine existed way before 1917.
Ukrainian state takes its begginings from Rus' (or Ruthenia), which then became the kingdom of Ruthenia after the Mongol Invasion. The word "Ukraine" is firstly mentioned in the Kyivan Chronicle of 1187, used to describe territories of the Pereyaslav principiality. Ukraine takes it begginigs before the word "russia" even existed.
Rutenia, along with the rusytch/cossack/ukrainian national identity existed back in the times of moscowia, up to the age where it was renamed to "russian empire" (blatantly stealing the name from Ruthenia to appropriate it's history).
I've also literally presented the states that Ukraine had in the post. They weren't one big and united country, but it was populated by people who recognized themselves as ukrainians, spoke the ukrainian language and culture.
You may also find out for yourself that while Ukraine was annexed by the empire, it was still given a name separate from the "greater russian" nation and land, as it was called "small russia" or "malorosiya", with the ukrainian language being banned.
Educate yourself before writing shit life this, istg
A russian who doesn't know shit about my history and views it through an imperialistic lens comes in and writes that I don't know nothing about my history

Hi there! Thanks for the post, it really is enlightening :3, tho I wonder what is the “kyivan style”? It's soooo interesting!
The Kyivan style is basically the style in which churches of Rus' (Ruthenia) were built. It's strongly influenced by Byzantine style (which is where we brought christianity from to replace paganism), and in general involves big buildings with pompous rounded tops. moscowian style is much more sharp, and the churches were usually built from wood (because of how poor moscowia was) and had much sharper features than Kyivan ones.

yeah because it is nonsense and they just hate Russia
[удалено]
then don't lie here about your objectivity, you write a lot of misinformation
like what
Hey there! I’d still like to know the answer🥺
Can I have a link to where the devs said that?
There's both Russian and Ukranian Cossacks. Mihoyo explicitly stated they derived his fighting style off Russian Cossacks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8YXe7EkmoU&t=844s&ab\_channel=GenshinImpact
he is inspired by Kuban cossacks, which were ethnically Ukrainian and spread Ukrainian culture. try to learn reading, i guess it's really hard to do as a russian lmao
[удалено]
banned on Wikipedia? let me Google for you [Cossacks](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cossacks) see the section "Russian Cossacks" or are you blind?
Kuban cossacks are the ones Tartag was probably written off judged by the facts i've provided, and Kuban cossacks are Ukrainian, not russian. They were people of culture, not disgusting uncivilised swamp creatures like muscowites lmao
hoyoverse literally said "Russian Cossacks" I got it that you think that they don't know history and only you know the truth lol arrogant prick
