There are Russian and Ukranian Cossacks.. but then again at the time of Cossacks being formed there was no such country as Ukraine as it was part of Russian Empire.
@@dimonddust4318 There only one cossacks exist - is Ukrainian (or russian because of name of the empire? It's dumb) and country name "Ukraine" is older then "russia".
@@didi8760 Don Cossacks are not Ukrainians. Ukrain literally translates as (Edge) a.k.a Edge of Russia. There was no such Country as Ukraine before Russian Empire..Ukraine only became a country of its own once it separated from Russia. What kind of country name is "Edge" anyway? sit-down, please.
Great video! If you find russian revolution and cossack type stuff interesting you should react to that youtube channel’s video on roman von ungern sternberg.
From this video, one thing is clear to me: if you add a little truth to a lie, it is easier to believe and easier to explain. Here, the concept of Russian and Cossack is consciously separated. There are Slavs, Cossacks, Tatars and many other peoples. It is also important to understand that in the video they deliberately begin to speak from the first Romanovs, as if there was nothing before them, only the Russians are not five hundred years old, but more than a thousand, and the Tatar-Mongol invasion began in 1223 and, of course, until that time there was no desert land . Such peoples as Circassians, Bulgarians, Khazars, Greeks and many others lived there, and they were also excellent wars, since this region has always been not calm. If you look even earlier, then the Scythians lived in these territories, but if you look long before our era, then the no less famous Cimmerians. The word Cossack/KAZAK is of Turkic origin and means a free, independent person, a tramp (in the old Russian sense of the word) and this is known to any literate person. It is strange that the author of the video tells such “details”, but to such a simple question about the origin of the word he says that the translation is unknown. Cossacks are an estate and not a nationality. According to their ethnic origin, Russians prevailed among the Cossacks, there were also Ukrainians (they formed the basis of the Black Sea in the Kuban). In addition, the Cossacks, when they were their class, included groups of Belarusians, South Slavs, Greeks, Tatars, Mordovians-Erzi, Bashkirs, Kalmyks, Buryats, Ossetians and other peoples. Separate groups of Cossacks often retained their isolation, peculiarities of language and culture, and ethnic self-consciousness.
cossacks enjoyed true freedom, can't say the same with the world today, some cossacks still live in ukraine and if I'm not mistaken willing to accept and train people
