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.
