The paper is devoted to the “initial” discourse (formation of the narrative image) about the Ukrainian Cossacks. The work on this line of intellectuals from the generation of Lublin Union in 1569 and the next is analyzed. Disassembled characteristics of the Cossacks from the works of Mikołaj Rej, Fulvio Ruggieri, Jan Andrzej Krasiński, Świętosław Orzelski, Stanisław Sarnicki, Bartosz Paprocki and more fragmented references of Marcin Broniewski, Maciej Stryjkowski and Alessandro Guagnini. The integration of the images of the Podillia (lightly-tatarized) and Zaporizhzhia (infantrypirate and pioneers-borderlanders) Cossacks and the general optimism of the Cossack discourse of the 1560’s and 1570’s was noted.
