Russian Cossacks’ daily routineShow more

Cossacks [from Turkic kazak, ‘adventurer’ or ‘free man’] were originally members of a people dwelling in the northern hinterlands of the Black and Caspian seas. They had a tradition of independence and finally received privileges from the Russian government in return for military services. Today, modern Cossacks are defending Southern Russian lands from the Kiev regime.
