Russia's Resurgent Militiamen: The Cossacks 

Then you should know the communists genocided them.

same

Soviets persecuted cossacks, no cossacks persecute anyone that though Russian is not white or Christian.

so was mine

so, we are both Cossacks

Of course because this is a Western propaganda documentary film.

Just forget everything that the soviets did for Russia. If it wasn't for stalin it would still be a poor rich country.

Mr English My great grand father supported the Nazis in ww2 as a member of the 1st Cossack Cavalry Division, he fought nobly but was killed by a Soviet Artillery round in Austria. After that the rest of my family moved to America where we have been living ever sense the Betrayal of the 28th May 1945

Yuri Velensky The evil of the Soviet Union was after Krushchev had been elected and until Gorbachev stepping out of power. Even then the evil did not stop; under Yeltsin, things became a thousand times worse. But Putin would respect you if you returned.

The Soviet Union was better than Russia today.

@@sonya7025 How so??

Cossacks are not Slavs and Cossacks are believed to be descandants of Khazars and Cuman's.

lukas dziadosz hhhh cossaks are neither russian nor Slavic they are nomadic people with uncertain origin

@@jackreacher4488 It's a western Propaganda video really, the subtitles are not correct 100% and they try to portrait Cossacks like an agressive force, but Cossacks are people with strong character and they are not agressors but defenders of russian people.

A mix of tartars, mongolians, turks and other minority ethic groups with a majority from orthodox slavs.

It's an interesting fact that you may be a Cossack. Just move to their territory, (especially inhabited cities on the South of Russia: Rostov, Novocherkassk, the Don River and the Kuban, or contact some if the locals here-may also be with the help of a website). The rules are: to take a military oath and live and work in a Cossack community: listen to your commander (ataman) and learn military tactics, protect Cossacks' values and the way of life. They help to each other, so your help may be needed in some household things. The one important thing: you should respect the traditions of the Cossacks and almost represent it. Learn Russian a little bit (just to make it easier to communicate with others: believe me, it's not as difficult as it seems to be-just for understanding😉) 100 words may be enough) and you will have no problems!) You will be welcome 🎉!)

One can become a Cossack. Here are the rules; According to the military statute, one can become a member of a military Cossack society through a primary public organization - a hutor or stanitsa Cossack society at the place of residence. Usually people, who are Cossacks in generations, but there are those, who want to become the first Cossack in their family. This kind of person is a candidate for at least one year. They are obliged to get a Cossack uniform, to attend all the events, to have the right to have a vote but only at the sessions of the leading body of the Cossack organization, which is called a circle. There are high requirements to everyone, which are getting tougher every year, which is why it is very hard to become a Cossack. The desire alone is not enough, you have to learn to be a Cossack. This is why it is very hard to enter the Cossack ranks. When a person becomes a Cossack, his family is automatically enrolled. Before making a conscious decision to become a Cossack, the family's opinion on this decision is obtained. In case a Cossack is deprived of his ranks due to certain circumstances, his family is asked if they want to stay in the Cossack community. The decision on one family member never affects the others. Each adult member of a family makes this decision by himself. Cossacks take an oath, which is different from the oath in the army. It is a certain type of church service called "recruitment". Before taking the oath, the candidate must be trained. After the training, the future Cossack takes the oath on the cross of the gospel and reads the words of the oath. This, already conscious, decision a person can make at the age of 18. Cadets take their own oath, and there are no such age restrictions. Our army needs such people as the Cossacks, because they have basic military training, which is equal to the level of draftees 2 and 3 years older. Cadets and Cossacks have opportunities for career guidance, not only military, but also civilian. Of course, the main direction of professions is military. The main partners are the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Prosecutor's Office. The skills that children learn during training are shooting, long-distance running, the ability to orientate themselves on the ground, in addition to learning all the regulations of the armed forces. They also have the opportunity to talk to the military and the members of GUIN, who every year hold "Young Pathfinder" competitions with the participation of search dogs and conduct searches. The main role is played by the intergenerational connection. Many kids and their parents do not always know that their ancestors were once Cossacks. The intergenerational continuity is a big plus, because at the very beginning of the Cossack revival, the whole burden of educating cadets fell on a small group of Cossacks, and now the graduates are already helping to teach the new guys, because educating cadets is very important - without it, the Cossacks have no continuation. Of course, the Cossack cadets are not only boys, but also girls. They are studying military training and other military skills on a par with the boys, they are also learning the culture and traditions of the Cossacks.

You have to understand this is a western propaganda. It twist everything and put a smear on people groups that they want to destroy. I am Asian and been following most of these msm channels, but one American friend told me years ago not to believe everything the media says. Then my eyes were opened to see how these media twist, lie, distort and often blatant straightforward propaganda.

And 911 taliban, Saudi sponsored wahabis

Trust me freind, western culture is doing fine. And you don’t want an Oligarchic dictatorship like Russia has, it isn’t a good system, and it isn’t one that can last. What makes us the west is our devotion to democracy.

move to Russia -- then talk!

@@dantecaputo2629 Devotion to democracy? You sound very Soviet. In the USSR they had "devotion to communism", and then it all collapsed. And now the west is following in the footsteps of bolshevism, with everything that is happening now, the aggression against Christians, white people etc.. Democracy is not a religion, you should have devotion to God instead.

Yeah Russian culture aged well…

@@SkaterMisterAxe The fuck does Russian culture have to do with anything?

Cossacks Ride Over the River Danube

He gets around!

It's Cossacks or Sharia Law and Mosques in your Cities...you choose Comrade.

@@harrykuheim6107 if it's one or the other, we're already screwed.

We are not xenophobic thugs just because Chechen are our enemy. They are strong people and they fight more honourably than the rabble Arabhill tribes of the Middle East. Do not pretend you care about followers of Islam when your country is trying to wipe it out completely. It was not your children injured by extremists. And this man 'Dzokhar Tsarnaev' is innocent, as was his brother. Putting him to death in a dishonourable way is believed to be a way of angering the bear. We collectively disagree on many things, such as LGBT, which is despicable, but I do not support violence against it. Not all of us are the same either, we have different routes. Cossacks who fought on the side of Axis did not find for the Third Reich or their filth, but against Stalin. They suffered a crushing betrayal at the hands of the British word of honour and Western promises.

***** Mostly Chechen live in that region. There are a lack of Russians. Chechens find freedom from causing terrorist acts and drawing international 'attention' to their cause, much like Albanians and Bosniak extremists. Somehow, they are portrayed as 'fighting for freedom'. The only thing their extremists really fight for is a vendetta against the Russian people and for their own twisted version of 'Allah's will'. I would be good with them finding independence peacefully. Taking over schools full of innocent children and theatres full of of Russian people is not to be tolerated at all. It is not tolerated at all in the western hemisphere, why should it be tolerated in the Russian Federation? If such people want to be free, they can leave the Russian Federation and visit the 'liberal' democratic nations in the Western and southeastern hemisphere. I am tired of Liberal idiots like yourself. America has over 800 bases around the world, even more. No one questions this because it is under pretense of 'NATO' and peace-keeping. America and its allies and vassals are always coming between the Slavic and Turkic people and screwing them over. You understand nothing.

***** I partly agree with what you say, the west has stabbed Serbia in the back too many times. some of us however, who know history realize that you have been on the frontlines against muslims and their ambitions to dominate the west and the world for a very long time. If not for the serbs, Vienna would have fallen to the Turks in 1683. However, most US military do not support leaders such as Obama and Clinton, don't let the actions of these unrealistic vile progressives taint your entire view of the US.

+Chernaya Zvezda Ferociously yes, but honorably? I don't think Beslan was honorable, was Budyanovsk honorable? I think it depends on which ones you are talking about, maybe Gelayev can be considered honorable, but he does not represent the greater Chechen resistance.

"Chauvanists"??? Where did that come from?"??

We could bloody well do with them in the UK

arkanoiddude well it’s gonna get real smelly

Exactly

They're shit bags, just like the Russians they're trying to be.

Ukrainian Cossacks check history

Hey, they are literally descendants of them. As Kuban Cossacks started from Zaporoghian ones, when Katherine II allowed them to serve in Russian Army, moving them to Kuban.

@@dmitriyrozhdestvenskiy2826 Absolutely not. Kuban (russian) cassacks were created by rulers to serve them. In fact they serve kremlin these days. Ukrainian (real) cossacks have deeper, stronger ans much more interesting history differently from these cizyaks (the way russians call them as they serve kremlin).

+Gary Cox граница на замке! and we should do the same here!

I wish we had Cossacks in the UK defending our borders from evil invaders.

Get used to it.

Thank a Muslim for that....

I don't lnow if you implied that but most cossacks are anti-comunism.

+Ricardo Pontes yes, but they are also anti-Western. I think what the West now has is not really capitalism, it is something very strange. Perhaps we should call it "imperial capitalism." And if you are against this "type of capitalism", it does not necessarily mean being a communist! Many people just want freer and truer capitalism, free market instead of the rule of corporations and banks, and end of US imperialism.

+dasa jaros It is corporatism and cronny capitalism which is prevailing in the west.

notice the time said 2006

I never thought them to be better or less than. Hey, that is your opinion.

yeah - and then what happened?

I don't remember any Russians at any Victory parties.

Hmmmm, and they became as bad as the Bolsheviks

They haven't been a huge military asset since the Napoleonic wars.

but anyway its bad that they cant go in hospitals and cant get fuckin simple work... so anyway forced to do criminal things and if policy stays the cat in the corner will attack

Platoon Banner.

It's the flag of the Cossacks from Rostov region.

Ура !!!!

Ricsi bacsi But Cossacks aren't a race, the word "Cossack" comes from Turkish and means "freeman", and it's reported by the Polish-Lithuanian monarch in the 16th or 17th century that the Cossacks include many nationalities from all over eastern Europe (one Cossack even came from Scotland).

Ricsi bacsi No worries. ;-)

***** Cossacks are overwhelmingly South Slavic European etc. I think what the real term is they are multi-ethnic but monoracial.

Watch Ryder South Slavic? South Slavs are people such as Serbs, Bulgarians and Croats, I'd say that if anything, the Cossacks are mainly east Slavic (Russian and Ukrainian) or Turkic (the word Cossack comes from Turkish meaning freeman).

Not Turkic, they are not European peoples, many Cossacks do not look like this. Calling most Cossacks a turk and they could kick your ass.

idiot

jnburch tard

yeah cause there is nothing like killing a bunch of innocent people to enact vengeance for a soldiers death (and im using that term soldier very loosely)

When it comes to ignorant pronouncements americans have no rivals.

Give yourself another pat on the back for the things that allegedly "check out" against your fountain of ignorance. You're so special after all. BTW, what happened with CNN killing off obama all of a sudden? Lol. Do you think it a sign of the US as a nation being washed down the drain. The conclusion does make a lot of sense in light of the past 10 years, wouldn't you say?

spartaknumerouno Speaking of ignorance, your previous comment reflects a total lack of awareness of the bipartisan nature of American politics in the recent elections. A liberal president will not have the support of the media in times of crisis. Same went with Carter.

hey buddy, guess who john paul jones served? Yep catherine the great. For a history guy you really dont know much history

Grisha Drohanov Historian. I'm a naval historian. Catherine requested his service but never truly benefited from it. It really isnt an argument. It betrays Russia's inferiority in this area. JPJ's greatest feat during the Revolution was as a small squadron commander and a raid on his home port in Scotland. 2 centuries after Peter's attempt at trying to copy western European ship design and try to salvage any vestige of respectability at sea, the Russian navy was completely wiped off the scene in the Crimean war. The Royal Navy had bottled up both major port regions within months of the war's declaration. Fast forward to the Russo Jap war and the Russians are getting shot to shit at Tsushima and Port Arthur. What do you think is happening here: media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/a0/c1/6c/a0c16c245b01097fe17ab7193e9ed5bd.jpg

They have indigenous Muslim populations such as Tatars, Bishkirs, Chechens, Ingusteians etc.

Of course it has. That's par for the course in the media
