Jur Bohun (also Yuri Bogun) is the main antagonist in the novel With Fire and Sword by Henryk Sienkiewicz.
Betrayed and rejected Bohun raids the Kurcewicz estate, slaughters the family, kidnaps Helena and joins the ongoing Cossack uprising.
Bohun is portrayed by Aleksandr Domogarov in 1999 Jerzy Hoffman's film With Fire and Sword.
He grew up in Zaporizhia, from early age becoming familiar with expeditions to the Black Sea and skirmishes with Tartars.
Bohun fell in love with Kurcewicz's orphaned cousin, princess Helena but she despised him since he killed a man in her presence.
In the company of Zagłoba and some Cossacks from his regiment, he rushed to Rozłogi, intending to kidnap Helena and take revenge on her family.
On his way, Bohun attacked a group of Polish troops, which was equivalent to joining the ongoing Cossack rebellion.
Bohun then gives his final farewell to Skrzetski and Helena as he rides his horse away to join back with the Cossacks .
He saw now a young hero, straight as a poplar, with splendid brunette face, and rich, dark, drooping mustache.
The leader had a lofty forehead, on which his dark hair drooped as a mane above his powerful brow.
An aquiline nose, dilated nostrils, and white teeth, shining at every smile, gave the face a slight expression of rapacity; but on the whole it was a model of Ukraine beauty, luxuriant, full of character and defiance.
He often shows the cruel and violent side of his personality - he murders Kurcewicz brothers and nearly kills Rzędzian in the heat of anger.
After falling in love with Helena, he doesn't accept her refusal, and wants to force her to marry him.
The haughty Bogun refused every guardianship, and was ready to defend his Cossack freedom with the sword.
