Each of the 10 thematic series focused on a specific historical period and prominent figures – the princely era, the Cossack era, the formation of the modern Ukrainian nation, the figures of the Ukrainian Revolution of 1917-1921, the OUN-UPA, the resistance movement in Ukraine, prominent women in the Ukrainian national revival, the contribution of emigrants to the processes of state-building, the establishment of independence and heroes of the present.

The filming took place at historical locations in the capital: St Sophia Cathedral, the Hetmanate Museum, the Museum of Outstanding Ukrainian Cultural Figures, the Museum of the Sixties, the Museum of the Formation of the Ukrainian Nation, the Museum of the Ukrainian Diaspora, etc.
