The Centuries-old Battle for Freedom by Ugears. Assemble me. Let honor and strength prevail! The Centuries-old Battle for Freedom wooden 3D puzzle symbolizes the ancient struggle of Ukraine for independence and freedom. This mini-model is a proud part of the exclusive Ugears Age of Bravery collection dedicated to the Ukrainian nation, and above all, to Ukrainian warriors throughout history.

The entire world knows about the full-scale war that russia started against Ukraine in February 2022. However, not everyone knows that this is by no means the beginning of the confrontation, nor is it the first time we've had to defend ourselves against our belligerent neighbor. For centuries, the russians have tried to conquer and destroy the Ukrainian people. In the 17th and 18th centuries, brave Cossacks rallied to defend Ukraine from the russian empire. Cossacks were Ukrainian warriors who at that time were among the most professional warriors in the world. It is to this chapter of our history that we dedicate The Centuries-old Battle for Freedom mini-model.

The Centuries-old Battle for Freedom mechanical mini-model consists of two Ukrainian Cossacks beating a two-headed chicken with their mace and saber. The Cossacks symbolize courage and the fight for freedom, and the two-headed chicken symbolizes the coat of arms of Russia back when it was an empire. A handle located in the middle activates the mechanism. As you move the handle left and right the Cossacks take turns beating the chicken over the head. The chicken itself toggles back and forth, senseless, with no way to escape its fate.
