Fine, but notice that you're talking about history and I'm talking about a very specific opera, two different things. The entire action of this opera takes place in the current territory of the Russian Federation (Siberia, the Kama and Moscow), NOT in Ukraine. The character of Potoski was used freely by Donizetti and his librettist and it wasn't faithful to the historical Potoski. And tell me PLEASE which specific melody in the overture is derived from Ukrainian folk music.

Please, listen - /watch?v=bYrGI0FncYc

Here is Beethoven - /watch?v=O5-pMQ6kxF4

And here is variations by russian accordionist - /watch?v=qU9uny84V08

In 19th and 18th centuries was no Russian federation and Ukraine (as state), was one Russian empire.

Learn about Dmitry Bortniansky and Maksym Berezovsky, both ukrainians, and both died in St. Petersburg.

А-а-а! Та це ж "Їхав козак за Дунай"!!! =)

Ah! And it's the "Cossack Rode Cross Danube", Ukrainian folk song!

It is not "Ukrainian melodies by Donizetti, but rather ukrainian melodi in a Donizetti's opera. More than that, he begins one of his overtures with this song.

Russian army chased Napoleon to Europe where they hit the beer-halls.

A third of the russian army were ukrainans. They always sing. At least 3 other

composers wrote variations. Donisetti just used the song.

Bravo!!! Donizetti. Pererwa

@trovatoreua - Stanislaw Potocki was polish nobleman. Lviv was polish city!

The name of original song is "Ihav kozak za Dunaj". There are a lot of different versions of it on YouTube. The same theme was used by Bethoven. IT IS UKRAINIAN FOLK SONG!!!

Вы только забываете что глупых вопросов не бывает, бывают глупые ответы. Человек Вас нормально спрашивает по каким признакам Вы слышите что это украинские мелодии - вопрос совершенно нормальный -так скажите ему - я знаю текст этих украинских песен - нормальный аргумент.

great, ok that's what I've been asking you for two days, I got it now, thanks. But that's another quotation by Donizetti of an existent tune, just like he did with God Save the Queen and Home Sweet Home, it's not really a melody by Donizetti.
