Just wondering something: I was surfing eBay earlier when i came across someone offering their copy for bid (I already have the video, but I was bored). What caught my attention was the description, which said that "Taras Shevchenko" was the name of a "famous 19th century Ukranian poet". I just assumed it was gobbldy-gook with no meaning, just sounds nice. Anyone able to verify if Taras Shev was indeed a real guy, or is the guy on eBay taking creative liscense?

Tabsy, the guy from eBay was right. I don't know whether this information will increase the sales of the video though. You can find a "short biography of the bard of Ukraine" following this link: http://www.infoukes.com/shevchenkomuseum/biography/short_biography
