Modern Russian Cossacks: “a hundred weights” or support for the people

291
There is a unique category of people in the world, which is clearly not exactly breathing to putting on uniforms, breast hanging with orders, medals and other signs of valor. There is another category: people who are more than worthy of both uniforms and awards, but preferring much more modesty in their attire and mention of ranks and regalia. At the same time, Russia has recently managed to take shape, let's say, a community group, among whose representatives there are some, and others. It is about the modern Russian Cossacks, if in this respect such a division as “modern Cossacks” and “Cossacks are not modern” makes sense.

The attitude towards modern Cossacks in Russia is no less controversial than the role of the Cossacks themselves in the development of the state and society. Some call these people, claiming the status of a separate class, mummers and pseudo-patriots, others see in the Cossacks the beginnings of a revival of the foundations of morality and culture of the Russia that we once lost. However, modern Cossacks are a whole phenomenon, which, like any other phenomenon, is difficult to give an unequivocal assessment, and an unequivocal assessment of all external attempts will be obviously one-sided and therefore meaningless. And therefore we will try to look at the representatives of the modern Cossacks from different sides. The goal is the same: to try to clarify the situation with what people, who call themselves Cossacks, really represent themselves.

We will not touch upon the historical aspect of the appearance of the Cossacks in stories Russia, because this topic has already been voiced at the Military Review. We will focus precisely on the modern stage of the existence of the Russian Cossack.

First you need to make an attempt to separate the flies from cutlets. The fact is that the Cossacks (at least from the position that is designated today) do not appear as an ethnic layer, but rather as a public organization, designed to solve certain problems. What problems? Whose problems? And here is the main question. Someone uses the term "Cossack" as a kind of synonym for honor and loyalty, patriotism and depth of moral traditions, and someone is ready to make from this word for itself a certain set of preferences, allowing to quench unbridled vanity. Some are quite ready to serve the Fatherland on a voluntary basis, while others are trying to hastily blind themselves from the statements about the hypothetical service to the Motherland of a banal PR-action, which, in the opinion of such people, can add certain public or even political bonuses to them.

That is why there are “flies”, which are neither historically, nor morally, nor in any way connected with traditional Cossacks, but this does not prevent them from using self-made “crusts”, hanging their wide breasts as large as August apples with orders and changing shoulder straps, towering along the Cossack hierarchy, with breathtaking speed. It is these people who parasitize on the concept of the Cossacks, and are the reason that many (even hereditary) Cossacks in Russia are often viewed, to put it mildly, with some distrust. It is precisely the “mumbled hundred” that outwardly turns the very idea of ​​reviving the Cossack traditions to serving the Fatherland into a farce. After all, many of our compatriots, due to a number of objective reasons, have lost all hope of determining for themselves whether there are any real Cossacks in modern Russia. And if there is, are they ready to offer their services to strengthen the security of the country? .. And are their services needed by modern Russia and its citizens?

Let us give a few examples of how the Cossacks of the new generation have recently managed to prove themselves. So that the situation was presented as fully as possible, and everyone was able to appreciate the role of the Cossacks in public life, let us present several plots, both positive and negative.

Since the end of last year, the situation with the so-called Cossack patrols in major cities of Russia has somewhat calmed down. The activities of the Cossacks, who, when coordinated with local law enforcement agencies, took to the streets of Moscow, St. Petersburg, Voronezh to carry out activities for the protection of law and order, received diametrically opposite assessments. Some, seeing people in uniform, not assigned to any of the military or police units, openly expressed their negativity and were clearly not going to obey the requirements of the Cossack patrol. Others reacted quite calmly and believed that the protection of public order using Cossack squads was an event that manifested itself quite positively.

The Cossack of the East Kazakhstan Region "Reserve Cossack Army" "The Great Don Army" A. Popov tells:

As an ordinary Cossack, I was attracted to the protection of public order during the celebration of the city’s day. The task before me and a group of other Cossacks was set as follows: we had to prevent pretty drunk people from going to crowded places, and if they too wanted to go to the festivities, report the incident to their immediate head. He has already contacted the police, who are bully and tied. We did not have the authority to take action against violators.


Another case.
Moscow. The end of last year. Belorussky Station. A group of Cossacks, which was later presented as a Cossack patrol, carried out law enforcement in the presence of broader powers, which caused a discussion in society. The point is that the Cossack patrol carried out a raid and revealed the places of illegal trade. Subject to the discussion that the Cossacks in identifying places of illicit trade proceeded to the seizure of goods and loading it into a pre-prepared bus. According to the Cossacks themselves, the bus belonged to the DAEC, and all their actions with the DAEC were agreed. However, after such a zealous discharge of duties by the Cossacks, the press began to skip the information that the Cossacks had become a tool for dividing the market in a very busy place for trade in the capital.


Cossack patrol in Moscow in work


After the sensational raid, the very first deputy ataman of the EKR Central Cossack Army, General Kolesnikov, said that the first attempt could not be called the most successful. Obviously, new attempts to take Cossacks participation in Moscow raids were also discussed, but these raids obviously did not become systematic. Apparently, the whole point is that the authorities themselves (not only regional, but also federal) have not yet decided what to do with such “happiness” (or without quotes?) As modern Cossacks. If you give authority, thinks the authorities, they can sit on your neck; if you don’t give authority, the electorate will be lost, but oh, how needed are voices ... In general, the whole dilemma.

One of the governors, who decided to regulate the activities of the Cossacks in his region, today is the head of the Voronezh region, Alexey Gordeyev. Not so long ago, he discussed with the leaders of the local Cossacks the problems of interaction between the Cossacks and local authorities. At the meeting, Ataman of the Central Cossack troops V.Nalimov came up with a proposal for the Ministry of Education to create an educational institution in the region, which will be called the single Cossack cadet corps. Vyacheslav Nalimov connects the very possibility of creating such an educational institution with the fact that Cossack traditions are strong in the region and there are all possibilities for implementing this kind of idea. In addition, the ataman Nalimov suggested to the governor Gordeyev to create a military training center of the Cossack army, which could become a place for high-quality training of young Voronezh citizens for military service. It is planned that such a center could be located to the north of the capital of the Black Soil Region. Aleksey Gordeyev promised that he was ready to personally assist the implementation of the plans outlined, because they are primarily aimed at caring for the younger generation and at implementing plans for a comprehensive pre-conscription training.

Modern Russian Cossacks: “a hundred weights” or support for the people

On this seemingly blissful background of interaction between the Cossacks and the official authorities, the same Voronezh region turns into a place of active confrontation between the Cossack squads and those who are trying to promote a business project to develop nickel deposits in the Khopersky Nature Reserve. The company, which in the near future intends to start developing nickel in the so-called Yelanskoe deposit, encounters unprecedented public resistance in Russia, and the Cossacks have come to support it. For several months, the Cossacks of the Second Khopersky District exhibited posts in the place where the developer intends to carry out metal mining (and this is literally the very heart of the fertile black soil of Russia). The Cossacks have already promised that if they see heavy equipment and people preparing for the development of the Voronezh subsoil in the reserve, they are ready to give a real fight to the representatives of the mining company.


Cossack post at the site of preparation for the development of a nickel deposit (Voronezh region) (conversation with the police)


These words of the Cossack atamans were approved by the local population and the situation began to look very tense also because in one of his interviews Governor Gordeyev stated that he would not allow Voronezh black soil to be destroyed just until he took the governor’s chair. However, despite this, the business lobby promotes the idea of ​​security development. However, at the same time, representatives of this very lobby do not mention that the nickel deposit near Voronezh was known in the Soviet years. But at that time, a number of scientists published materials according to which mining of nickel in the Black Earth region could lead to serious environmental consequences. Moreover, the nickel content in the ore in the region is relatively low, and therefore not the fact that mining will be profitable. The prospect of getting at one’s own, instead of fertile soil, a virtually dehydrated and dug desert, which may eventually be declared “not quite a successful outcome of a nickel mining project,” is clearly not impressive for Voronezh residents.

The confrontation between the public, which is indirectly supported by the governor Gordeyev, and not even indirectly at all - the representatives of the 2 of the Khopersky district of the Cossack IEDs, and the lobbying workers, begin to show real urgency. Just the other day, the sentries of that same Cossack post at the field stopped a group of geologists, who were preparing to start the next batch of research. Having found out whose interests geologists represent, as well as their determination to start their work, the Voronezh Cossacks, together with other local residents, decided to show the “guests” all their “cordiality”. As a result, the meeting ended with the fact that geologists thoroughly received Cossack whips, after which they turned to the police. A criminal case was opened against the Cossacks and a number of environmentalists.


The police are increasingly visiting the Cossack post


After this "first fight for nickel" the public again divided. Some called the Cossacks "mummy PR", others, on the contrary, stood up for them, claiming that this is apparently the only force that can still counterpose the barbaric attitude to Russian wealth.


Appeal Cossacks to President Vladimir Putin


This story eloquently illustrates the situation with the Russian Cossacks, whose purpose is not yet clearly defined by the state. At the same time, we ourselves forget that the interests of the Cossacks and the state in Russia did not always coincide ... Does this mean that modern Cossacks (putting people outside the parasitic Cossacks out of their brackets) is a force that in reality is not “amusing” army ", and ready to stand not on guard of the interests of its leaders and oligarchs exclusively, but on the guard of the interests of the people? Difficult question ... After all, the Cossacks are different, and the rest of the people are far from being a uniform substance ...


And here is the brightest representative of the "ryazhenoy hundreds"


Recall that in September last year, Vladimir Putin approved the strategy of the Russian Cossacks. Here are a few points of the document:
a) the involvement of the Russian Cossacks in fulfilling the tasks of ensuring the security and defense capability of the Russian Federation, passing by members of Cossack societies of military service in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, other troops, military formations and bodies, including members of Cossack societies in the mobilization human reserve to ensure guaranteed resupply in the established the terms of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, as well as the creation of an effective system of military registration of members of Cossack societies;
b) the involvement of the Russian Cossacks to participate in the protection of public order and ensuring environmental and fire safety, in the implementation of measures to prevent and eliminate emergency situations and eliminate the consequences of natural disasters, civil defense, environmental protection activities;
c) the involvement of the Russian Cossacks to participate in the protection of the state border of the Russian Federation;
d) maximum use of the potential of Cossack societies in places of traditional and compact Cossacks to attract members of these societies to protect forests, wildlife objects, and cultural heritage objects;
e) attraction of the Russian Cossacks to the state and other services in other areas of activity in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation.

The Strategy spelled out, including both the historical Cossack heraldry and the system for the development of new heraldic signs, uniforms, awards and insignia.

The main thing is that the Cossacks and the state should not forget that their main goal is, after all, the protection of the rights and freedoms of all citizens of Russia without exception, and not just those who belong to the elect, who deserve special attention. I would like to believe that in this regard the state and modern Cossacks are unanimous.

    I still did not understand what the author wanted to reveal ... It is clear that there are mummers and there are hereditary, well, as hereditary only when you look at the photographs of the grandfathers of the great-grandfathers, you remember that the ancestors were Cossacks ... cause negativity and bring it on to the word itself and, therefore, to all its representatives. It is also not necessary to talk about hereditary in its pure form, if we take the Cossack canons, then how the class of Cossacks were destroyed and very few "pure" ones remained (well, when both dad and mom are from hereditary) more and more when one of the parents (for example, I have a mom from "noble" kazchi surname, well, so it is considered). My attitude to everything that happens around the Cossacks? A frank farce, it is not clear what it is aimed at, booing everything connected with this class, ridiculing and instilling persistent negativity in society. In my opinion, if the Cossacks are revived, then they should be engaged in pre-war training of young people so that later real officers of the Russian army will grow from the Cossacks. To instill the correct moral values, to pass on experience and so on, for everything else there is the police for which I pay money.

              Cossacks is a class living on the Don, which began to clearly separate into a separate ethnic group, until it was exterminated into a civilian. If you are interested, you can go to the village of Veshenskaya, where Sholokhov lived, there is a clear division into Cossacks and everyone else, and if someone enters the Cossack army, after that he is still not considered a Cossack.

              So we got to the point, everyone agreed that the Cossacks, this estateI emphasizeformer estate, since the estate division was eliminated by the 1917 revolution, in the Russian Federation there is also no estate division, therefore, the Cossacks, as well as modern "nobles", are social organization, whose members do not, and should not, have some kind of exclusive rights, compared to other citizens, and even more so to own weapons. I consider all this more as a PR of a certain group of leaders of the Cossacks.
              And then let's organize a society of hereditary party functionaries, a black hundred, or something else exotic.

                        The special operation, which took place on January 6 in the Baksan district, is reported in a press release published on the website of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the KBR.

                An excellent, competent answer! There is NO more such class as the Cossacks, no, everything, in the 17th year of the last century ended. What else can you talk about ??? So, by definition, today's Cossacks are mummers. And what kind of power can they represent? They cannot defend the villages, they can only drink with shashaki, but "love" to yell. Though, minus, my opinion about the current "Cossacks" will never change. You can conventionally consider Cossacks people living in places where the Cossacks have lived since ancient times, descendants, so to speak , but I think that there are not so many of them left at all. I have seen Siberian "Cossacks" - devils, which are few, drunk and rags

                  The Cossacks is a state border guard service, a kind of border guard, and certainly the Cossacks cannot be inherited, therefore we can conclude that people dressed in military suits cannot be considered as such Cossacks as nothing more than folklore.

                maybe ROA will also remember where much more in number,
                In 1924 in Paris, the Cossack Union was established, uniting the Cossack villages abroad. He coordinated the solution of economic, cultural and other problems, assisted the creative intelligentsia. The Union of Cossack Writers, the Literary Cossack Family, the Circle of Cossacks-Writers, and the Society for the Study of the Cossacks operated abroad, and more than 100 magazines and newspapers were published.
                The split in emigration occurred in connection with the German attack on the USSR. Some of the Cossacks stood on the side of the German army, but many Cossacks, remaining patriots, joined resistance groups in the territories of the occupied states in which they lived.
                In February 1920 The 1st All-Russian Congress of Labor Cossacks, under the influence of V.I. Lenin, adopted a resolution which stated that “the Cossacks are by no means a special nation or nation, but are an integral part of the Russian people. Therefore, there can be no question of any separation of the Cossack regions from the rest of Soviet Russia, to which the Cossack tops are closely united with the landlords and the bourgeoisie ... ”(Cossacks of Russia. Historical and legal aspect: documents, facts, comments. - M., 1999.- S. 244-245).
                At the same time, the policy of forcibly evicting the Cossacks from their places of historical residence continued. March 27, 1920 out of 72 thousand members of Cossack families evicted from the three villages for Terek, only 35 thousand arrived at their destinations. The “Red Highlanders” attacked the convoy, and, not meeting the resistance of the escorts, they chopped down sabers of unarmed Cossacks, women, old people and children. This day is today considered to be the Memorial Day of the Terek Cossacks repressed by the Soviet state.

              In January 1919 the Bolsheviks used the tactics of "rasskachivaniya" in which they invested a completely different meaning than the Socialist Revolutionaries. The Directive of the Organizing Bureau of the Central Committee of the RCP (B.) Ordered all commissars to wage a merciless struggle against the Cossacks by means of its universal extermination. There was mass terror: bread and all products were confiscated, complete disarmament, relocation, executions of those who dared to disobey, were carried out ...
              And, although this directive was recognized as erroneous and was repealed by the plenum of the Central Committee of the RCP (B.) Of March 16, 1919, the apparatus of repressions of the Soviet government against the Cossacks continued to operate. The Bolsheviks sought the physical destruction of the Cossacks, the complete eradication of their families and villages. Massively shot those who refused to serve in the Red Army.

        I fully support it, since I myself have a similar situation, moreover, my wife is a purebred Cossack (only she is Donskaya, and I am Kubansky) and according to her parents and way of thinking. But we are deeply convinced that now there is a state of "mummers" in the Cossacks, where "chieftains" are more concerned with their own status than with the restoration of the historical Cossack estate and way of life. Probably in the form in which the Cossacks lived under the Tsarist Empire, the Cossacks will no longer be reborn. Rather, it is necessary to take the form of a certain structure, to create a reserve for the RF Armed Forces from the already served Cossacks and to prepare young Cossack women for service in separate units and subdivisions. But in any case, this is a job for public organizations. On the other hand, given the spread of Wahhabism in the North Caucasus and the national republics of the Volga and Ural regions (in the zones of compact residence of the Russian population), the Cossacks are the most organized force capable of detecting and stopping the spread of this muck at the everyday level, since they are representatives of a different faith, and then theological disputes about good and bad Islam are not threatened. In the state plan, for the Cossacks there is one Islam, recognized by the state, with whose representatives the Cossacks have lived side by side for hundreds of years. Everything else is enemies. Therefore, there is a clearly defined strip of subjects where the Cossacks, in my opinion, are necessary to protect the Orthodox Russian population. First of all, this is the territory of the North Caucasus, the Volga and Ural regions, as well as the Amur region. Those. historical regions of settlement of all the great Cossack troops. In the center of Russia, especially in Moscow, the Cossacks have nothing to do, they look here actually disguised and alien, and often just ridiculous.

    The Cossacks were and should be, as a continuation and revival of the glorious centuries-old traditions of the corresponding part of the Russian people. I would like to hope that the real Cossacks themselves will clean the mummers' "husk" and the merchants in stripes from their ranks. In the cadet corps, patriotic Cossack youth are growing up, who are brought up on positive historical examples, incl. which still exist, for example, the participation of contract Cossacks in the Chechen campaign (protection of Russian interests in the Caucasus).

    After the loss of the freemen, the Cossacks became servants of the Tsars, they were given privileges, and such that the rest of the Russian citizens did not even dream of. For special care of the kings, the Cossacks simply became dogs of these gentlemen. In Russia, only Cossacks were used to suppress the rebellious inside the country. After all, the soldiers were recruited mainly from peasants and there was no particular hope for them. But those Cossacks for the tsar’s father could crush anyone without hesitation.
    So modern Cossacks, if they tried on the form and spirit of the Cossacks before the revolutionary, then in fact they took on the functions of protecting the "sovereign" and for them it does not matter who will be in front of them, who will be pointed at and will beat. And if they don't, then they are no longer Cossacks, but something completely different

        And that besides the Cossacks no one fought heroically, remember at least the 12 year war with the French, that only the Cossacks showed heroism? so in the war there is no difference whether you are a Cossack or not, but in internal conflicts it was clearly there, the Cossacks are a more reliable support of the kings.

          Yes, I agree and did not say that they only fought, it’s just that now everyone began to forget that the Cossacks are the same military people and talk more about gendarmes and policemen. And you do not find it logical that they were the pillar of the king, since they gave power to the privileges? Why did the peasantry spread its power? There are more questions to the government and its politics, but what about the Cossacks? They gave the order - executed, or is it not right now?

        Or do you consider the Cossacks a kind of policeman of the king?

        Alas! It was like that. especially when the Cossacks whipped up the demonstrations of the workers. The police could not cope, and the Cossacks did not stand on ceremony. That is why, in relation to them, a dual relationship has developed. However, in the history of any militarized unit there were unsightly facts, but this is our subjective opinion of contemporaries. If the Cossacks really protect and support the people, if they manage to help before the police, then this is wonderful! IMHO

          Greetings fellow countryman

          Mutually Klim. hi ! Entirely and fully support the author of the article, it is high time for the Cossacks to put things in order, by the hands of the Cossacks themselves. It’s time to decide whether we are descendants and successors of the glorious deeds of the tribe of Orthodox heroic Cossacks, or are we like the “new Cossacks,” ready to serve even enemies for bakshish. Neither atheists, nor communists, nor Gentiles can be accepted by our ancestors-Cossacks into their ranks, and therefore can not bear the proud rank of Cossacks, because they betrayed the faith of their ancestors - Orthodox Cossacks. Look who is now in the “Cossacks” who grew up like mushrooms after the rain - laced with breasts in crosses with their heads in the bushes after another drinking party which is far from the Cossacks like the sky from the earth. Cossacks are the descendants of the hero warriors who stood at the origins of the Russian state, those who grew the lands of our Russia, sacrificing their lives for the honor and glory of the Cossack rank. We consider ourselves their descendants, but for this it’s not enough to live on the historical territory of the Cossack troops or to have Cossacks in your family, you need to adhere to not only traditions but also the unwritten canons of the Cossacks. Do not deserve - do not wear it, do not take it - do not take it. It is time to discharge the “mummers” and drive them into three necks, because shame and disgrace to the true Cossacks are one disgrace from such “Cossacks”.

            Here! And you need to start with yourself, but the glorious history of the ancestors who fought from the Caucasian War to Afghanistan is unconditionally helpful, but I absolutely agree about the canons!

            All of course is true, but why should the state do this? If the Cossacks need to revive their traditions, then forward the flag in hand. Traditions are not revived by decrees; traditions are brought up in the family. As for the Cossack troops, it is also unclear why? They do not particularly fit into the current armed forces system. In addition, this is associated with significant financial and organizational difficulties, since people need to be trained, create a material base, etc., it is better to direct these efforts to increase the combat readiness of ordinary military personnel.

      It is not necessary to categorically make the Cossacks such a repressive, tsarist body. Beginning in the second half of the 17 century, Cossacks practically participated in all wars waged by the Russian Kingdom, and later the Russian Empire, on the side, or as part of regular Russian troops. A very small part of the Cossack units really attracted mainly in both capitals, based on the prevailing political situation, to protect public order

As I understand it, the Cossacks had a military-peasant class, cultivating the land and having basic income, having certain privileges and performing certain functions, such as border protection, compulsory military service, which must be mobilized in the first place. Is there such a thing now? Of course not. In my opinion, the Cossacks, as a historical phenomenon, simply lost their meaning due to time.
      And if it remains, it’s not just as a way of life, but as a historical one, maybe a political movement but no more. Well, as an example, a club of interests, or whatever the club of military history lovers.

        Previously, the task of the Cossacks was to protect the borders of the state.
        Something I do not see Cossack troops on the borders of the Russian state: Kunashir, Iturup, Shikotan, Amur Region, Chechnya, Dagestan. No, they are now in Moscow and St. Petersburg.

          I support if they talk about protecting the state border, and that from time immemorial they have served and want to serve. So let them create border units, block the borders along the Far East, and along the north. The maintenance of these parts in peacetime on the economic side, partly should be borne by their relatives, I think they will feed.

    The article is correct and questions are important. Yes, the Cossacks were destroyed as a class, but you need to start and revive this class with something. Quality, as a class, as an organized force, is needed by the country and all of us Russian people. Cossacks (not mummers Of course) this is faith in God, the Tsar and the Fatherland.
    Russia and Russians need it now. Quality is already beneficial, take

      In the context of the Cossacks, "pure" is just a strange concept, just now there is such an opinion. The Cossacks were also strong in that they absorbed a lot of the best from outside (well, figuratively speaking).

            The shooter turned out to be the 24-year-old vice president of Oil-Optima7 LLC Pavel Brovkin. The organization, led by Pavel in such a young age, is the largest fuel operator in the Nizhny Novgorod region, collaborates with Gazpromneft and Lukoil.
            According to unverified data, Brovkin used one of the most expensive drugs - cocaine. However, the court, based on the positive characteristics and the fact that Pavel had a dependent on a minor son, decided to release the suspect on his own recognizance. For attempted murder, Brovkin faces up to 15 years in prison. http://nnov.kp.ru/online/news/1361651

    easy to destroy, hard to recreate
    I personally believe that the Cossacks cannot be revived in their former form, but in the form of "reservists" it is quite possible, but the laws on weapons and many others must be changed.
    let's say a "Cossack army" is being created under the auspices of the Russian Armed Forces, shooting training, sniper rifle, practice, hand-to-hand combat, and other applied topics and not for children, but for men, with exams a couple of times a year, fees, and not in "obligatory" but for those who really This is what he wants, in the event of an emergency, not to mention mobilization, assistance in the armed protection of the order of the police. obligation to prevent crimes committed in front of the Cossacks

      I’ll add, it’s possible a number of benefits, such as the exemption from income tax on salaries, let's say the average for the region, additional medical insurance, but also the mandatory involvement in the protection of public order

      This is largely described the structure of the US National Guard


      The National Guard of the United States is a reserve group organized by the US Army and Air Force. It exists in every state and territory of the US. It has a dual subordination: state and federal.
      The National Guard is the so-called organized reserve of the US Armed Forces (an unorganized (individual) reserve consists of people who have sufficient military training, who have recently completed military service and do not need additional training).
      The National Guard can be activated in emergency situations by the state governor to carry out various tasks within the country (eliminating the consequences of natural disasters, maintaining law and order in the event of mass unrest, etc.), performing in such cases approximately the same functions as internal troops. Also by decision of the President of the United States can be used to support the US Army and Air Force, including outside the United States.


      National Guards Guard Pennsylvania Station in New York
      Of the recent events, the National Guard participated in the elimination of riots in Los Angeles in 1992 (9975 National Guards participated in the riot control operation), the maintenance of public order after the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001, the elimination of the consequences of Hurricane Katrina "

      Service in the National Guard is combined with work in the main specialty. About 60 thousand men and women enter the National Guard annually (on average). They are required to undergo combat training in individual and group exercises (48 four-hour programs on weekends per year), they are also sent to two-week camps, connected to military and command post exercises along with regular units. Leaders of organizations can be held criminally liable if they prevent their national guard officers from fulfilling the tasks set by the state.
      In addition to the basic payments for service in the National Guard, guardsmen are entitled to allowances for housing, monetary compensation for the purchase of uniforms (from 200 to 1200 dollars per year), payment of medical expenses, they have the opportunity to buy food and goods in military stores, refuel vehicles military stations, where the price is two times lower than the national average. Having quit after a 20-year service, the guardsmen also receive very substantial pension benefits, which are completely exempt from taxation.
      When a mobilization or emergency is declared, parts of the National Guard are included in the regular forces. So, during the war in the Persian Gulf in 1991, 245 thousand reservists were called up, which amounted to half the total number of American troops concentrated at that time in Saudi Arabia.

    With the so-called "Cossack squads" the question is quite interesting. There is no point in voting "For" or "Against". Firstly, if the squads - then explain accordingly their powers, scope, tasks, And then it all looks like "Father Makhno" (allegorically and metaphorically, of course), they say where we are there and power. And why excuse the power? When I sometimes see these fine fellows discharged to smithereens on the street, laughter makes me laugh. Awards (for what?) Were put on, chevrons, stripes, shoulder straps - and who was in charge of that, and for what such merits? And the slogans, such as - Let's free the markets from the dominance of immigrants from Asia and the Caucasus, yeah, they liberated them, after which the prices in stores for vegetables and fruits soared to the ceiling.
    Here is an example I want to give from the era of students.
    Opposite my technical school, there is a supermarket and there is a cafeteria, and everything is cheap there. So we went there for lunch. And near the supermarket there is a market (this is just the 90s), and on the market you can buy everything, including "grass" (although everyone knows about it, there was a police post there, and all this was happening before their eyes). So, we ate, we go to class, here a red-haired and unshaven fellow comes up, in an overcoat not in size, in worn-out boots and in an orderly order declares - hands out of pockets, I’ll shmag. Oops, I ask a question, and who are you, you are a nice person, what do you want, you haven't confused anything? And he is like an instinct, hands out of pockets, there are prohibited items and so on. They say we are Cossacks and are conducting a raid with the police. I told him, duck you show me the paper, the authority, and what I do not see the police point-blank - it's useless, oppressing his own. I tell him, get away from sin, does not understand and even tries to drag me by the sleeve somewhere. There is nothing to do, in general I dropped it, so that I would lie down thinking about the eternal. And I went to school, walk past the booth with the police - they all laugh as one. He asked, and this subchik, really with you, in response - why are we like idiots. It is the local chieftain who takes the initiative, and along the way, the "blacks" are trying to survive from the market.
    Here is such a collision.

    And then in that year I saw an interview with a Cossack on a local channel. At first he did not hesitate to tell how proud he was that he was a Cossack, how everything in his family was according to the laws of the Cossacks (his wife, like a gray mouse, glided along the walls, laid the table, and he, like a true host, sits and broadcasts, occasionally yelling at the household). From all his tongue-tied broadcasts, I understood one thing: even though he lives in my city and makes money, we all live wrongly, that he does not even like us. The finale was obvious - he said, it is necessary to introduce the Cossacks!?!?! (Like this, why, and who will introduce it, it’s not the troops to introduce amendments to the law). And oblige everyone to live according to the laws of the Cossacks, and then they say grace and a bright future will come. It reminds you nothing of friends; it reminds me of something. Some bearded personalities also say that you need to live according to the laws of Sharia, that you need to accept Islam, that it is salvation. And the rest to wet.
    The slogan immediately comes to mind - He who is not with us is against us.

There are, for example, military-historical clubs dedicated to the example of the Red Army, they study history, sew the uniform, even to the smallest detail, collect historical or pseudo-historical elements of paraphernalia, conduct their gatherings, reconstructions, and demonstrations. Who is against? For God's sake. But if they began to pace the cities in their uniforms - to check documents, looking for pests and saboteurs, demanding blackouts and curfews, so to speak, according to the laws of war.

            Do not sow land, do not have wives
            It was then that they landed a little, but as they were, they remained.
            No wonder they were even scared during World War I. Robbed in the offensive, and in the trenches to sit in the bastard, it is better to have something else, or whom.

    I think the Cossacks in their current form is money laundering, idleness and avoiding civil service, in general, what would be done in such a way that they would not do anything and they would also pay for it. Do you need the Cossacks? Create units in the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Internal Affairs with a certain bias and rules, and regional "private" power structures by nationality, religion and other characteristics are the decentralization of the entire country, in each region there will be "Cossacks", "Pugachevites" and other heirs of something who then there from the distant past, in the end we get another brick in the wall of the collapse of the country.

Even the Pupkins-Transdanubians and all sorts of von der-Zalupodrischenkos climb into the TV! The very concept of nobility without the institution of autocracy is sheer nonsense! The same is with the Cossacks! At one time, it covered itself with glory, defending the borders of the Fatherland, but let's not forget the attitude towards the Cossacks on the part of the rest of the population of Russia, and the ever-memorable Cossacks of Venka also did not increase the list of glorious deeds ..
    In my opinion, the Cossacks these days, as well as the nobility-ATAVISM. Well, I want someone in grandfather's uniform to walk, you are welcome to the club of re-instructors.

    To understand the "mummer hundred or support for the people", you probably need to recall a little history. At least quite general.
    Cossack regions were formed in the old days on the outskirts of the state. The people who gathered there and called the Cossacks had the goal of living freely, feeding themselves both on their labor and on their "saber". In some historical periods, mainly "saber". Both the Muscovy and Poland in certain periods of their existence was beneficial. First of all, as a border buffer. Later, the Cossacks, having corporate ownership of land as an economic basis, privileges and privileges from the tsarist government, played both the role of a supplier of first-class and loyal military personnel to the sovereign, and the role of, albeit not quite a borderline, but quite definite buffer in the Caucasus and other places of the Russian Empire.
    What now?
    Who has the land? What are the privileges? Where is the legislative framework?
    The historical roots are largely lost.
    But there is a "great need" for both a "buffer" and intelligent servicemen.
    Probably, it is worth reviving the Cossacks on the lands of historical Cossack Troops on the same principles that existed in the Russian Empire.
    In short, from modern Cossacks, faithful service to the Russian state, and from the state to them, is a special economic and everyday way of life and social benefits.
    Then everything will be like an adult ... In the meantime ... Not that, not this. request

The old Cossack principles in the modern world will not take root, because now you don’t have to use a sword and a saber to protect the borders.
      Cossacks in their present form can be regarded as preserving culture, traditions and just hobbies, the only role as a voluntary civilian detachment (vigilantes), without subsidies and deviations from the main place of work.

Well, yes, we have tolerance everywhere, sorry, I forgot. Again, if a person from childhood learns to serve, he will be favorably different from the person who just came and decided to serve, and they both have a place to be. Only if a person, so to speak from birth, connects himself with the army, why not help him?

          Honoring the family, work, service in general should not be the nonsense and privilege of a certain group of citizens, but the norm for all citizens of the country, and they should be engaged in this in the same min culture, education and controlling (prohibiting) bodies. We also have cadet schools and other educational institutions with a military bias in education (what is the reason to fence the garden?). If a person wants to devote himself to the defense of his homeland, he goes to the universities of Moscow oblast (if he passes the exams) and safely serves the homeland. And the Cossacks in their current form are just a screen of slogans and window dressing, the crust of the esaul or the general of the Cossacks - they are sold left and right! They try to get into the economic and political part of the life of the country, attach themselves to cuts, etc. Often young Cossacks - without education! And they don’t want to go to study military affairs, but they want to get shoulder straps at their home near the house through manifestos and window dressing, and shoulder straps are a person with an education not lower than a specialist / engineer. so let's not confuse God's gift with fried eggs.

            And we don’t confuse what they wrote all right. But there are quite adequate people who are able to teach. We now have a Cossack school (not advertised), it is an addition to school education, after it people serve well, why not apply this experience more widely? Patriotic education and physical education are at the forefront if someone else has problems with the general education. In general, everything that was ditched after the collapse of the Union. With all this, adolescents feel their unity, they do not give offense on the street. On all sides, I have positive experience, I know about such ones and lower in the Kuban, they arrange shows with each other, compete and no one makes them jump through the fields on horseback, a completely modern education. And in the conditions of our destroyed educational system (believe me from the inside I saw) an excellent help. and there’s no need to prove some kind of hereditary kinship, and so on ... Again, all this is voluntary and no one drives them there ... But if it’s so bad, be so kind as to study diligently ...

We simply smoothly approached the problem that concerns not separately the Cossacks, but the cultural and patriotic education of the whole country! there is no money to restore DOSAAFs, but it is necessary, I'm not talking about restoring the prestige of their importance.

    There are no Cossacks now, Cossacks didn’t just put on Cossack clothes and went to wave with a whip. Cossacks it was a whole nation with its own rules and laws. I live in the Kuban and I know firsthand what they were. An example is this: Once my great-great-grandmother did not have time to open the gate in time when my great-great-grandfather drove up, well, and as a result, he taught her to be a batman for it .. As it used to be, this was the norm .. Cossack -combat daring, brave brave man. I work as a teacher and often observe this situation - our Cossacks do not have enough people to attend the parade, they ask the school to allocate children for the parade. And so we walk bravely, boldly, not quite in the foot, getting tangled up in Cossack clothes, but we are reporting this way and that ... there are 32 Cossacks in the ranks, but in fact - 4. Yes, and they are going mainly to drink and eat for free. What is the Cossacks? There is only one laugh.

    The Cossacks formed as a free semi-robber semi-state entity. After being accepted into the service of the state, the Cossacks had to carry out military service all their lives. That is, a community of people was formed united in the main occupation. Since the number of Cossacks was strictly regulated, a certain isolation from the rest of the population arose due to the chosenness and privileged attitude of the authorities. Cossacks who do not fulfill their semantic function - permanent military service, cannot be Cossacks. It is necessary to create several regiments of the type of amphibious assault with a permanent registry to this military formation, these people will be considered Cossacks in essence, everything else is just a profanation of the phenomenon.

And talk !!!! - the grandmother of a Russian could only be understood by a Russian interpreter.
    The destruction of the Cossacks as an ethnosocial unit began in the 18th century (the Cossack liberties did not need to become stronger on the throne), everything ended in the 20s of the last century.
    About the revival ... About 15 years ago, the guys sewed "saba" suits, scribbled stripes, .... a circle ... the chieftain ... an incision ... Now they are laughing at themselves - the chieftain of the earth has seized it, the district administration stuffed his pocket. Ataman, (the district administration) graduated from the reserve medical institute, began to walk in the shoulder straps of a military foreman !!! Well, and cho - that's enough.
    The cousin fought, however, in Transnistria.
    I am a Cossack, sisters, brothers, uncles, Cossacks. We do not need to revive. The former Cossacks cannot be returned. It's a pity.

          Not quite so, just at the end of the XVIII-beginning of the XIX century there were a lot of attributed Cossacks. In particular, in the Khopersky regiment up to half were ascribed. About a third of the attributed Cossacks were in the Stavropol fortress (I hope you know who the attributed Cossacks are?). And they had all the same rights as the rest.
          Now I will not go into local history, but a lot of the names of the Cossacks and in our former village came from the attributed ones. But there were also enough "old" families. My grandfather told me that they went to the Caucasus to atone for blood. Among the first carts arrived. And redeemed ...

    Was reading. I thought a lot. I believe this: Cossacks are a community of people living on their land, united by a common worldview, united by a way of life and family values. The Cossack remembers and takes pride in his roots, respects ancestors, and carries out military service before the State.
    What is seen now?
    They took their land from the Cossacks! Torn from the roots! Soviet power weaned from the worldview. There is no conscription in the traditional Cossack form, separate Cossack units. The way of life has changed a lot.
    And what is left? Memory of ancestors and Cossack conscience!
    And people say, We are Cossacks !, retained their roots and memory, we live according to the Cossacks, with a conscience, and each serve their homeland in their place!
    They do not need to dress up in the form of the 1914 of the year, to wear undeserved epaulettes and awards! They do not need to draw in front of others! They already know that KAZAKI !!!
    And the fact that we see mummers half-witted in "epaulettes with aiguillettes" are not Cossacks! It's a shame to look, but these clowns allow themselves to impose an alleged Cossack order, introduce corporal punishment, and speak on behalf of all Cossacks!

    About the Cossacks. Kill God, I can't understand why in order to "establish a Cossack way of life" "so that drunk schoolgirls do not roll around in the streets" it is necessary to pull money from the budget to support healthy men. who themselves are not fools to drink. But I understand that if with this money a library would be opened or a club with amateur performances or a sports section, for visiting which children do not need to pay crazy money to their parents. The trouble is that before all of the above, markets and gas stations open, where the Cossack way of life manifests itself in a very peculiar way. About power. Kill God, I can't understand what the authorities wanted by issuing a law on the Cossacks, what a Strategy? Whether they are registered Cossacks or not, there is a public organization, whose activities should be regulated in the same way as any other public organization. The goals of this organization can only be fulfilled by those that are spelled out in its Charter without any obligations to the state. If we add responsibilities to this brave army, then this is no longer a public organization. But then why do we need BB and the police? About the mobilization reserve in general a joke. If the reserve would only be able to chop the enemy with a fake saber and lash him with a whip, then the hell would he be needed, and if, as in the old days, the "partisans" to training camps, then what's the difference whether you dragged the "shablyuka" around the market or grinded a part at the factory.

    This Cossacks do not care about the state? Loot waiting? From whom? Work zapadlo ????
    But did you know that the Cossacks did not stand in contentment and supported themselves. Or did you feed ?????
    According to the law of 1875, the service of the Cossack lasted 20 years, starting from the age of 18: 3 years in preparatory rank, 4 in active service, 8 years in privilege and 5 in reserve. Everyone came to the service with his uniform, equipment, knives and a riding horse. The Cossack village was responsible for the preparation and performance of military service.

      I'm not talking about those who fell under the red terror. Each Russian family went through white or red millstones. And this is the tragedy of the century and the people.
      Until the abdication of Nicholas II, everyone fought for Faith, Tsar and the Fatherland. And so, the king was gone, Vera and the Fatherland remained. On faith from the side of the red attacks has not yet been (started after the civilian). For the Fatherland? A strange position to fight for the Fatherland against the people! Yes, even with the support of the interventionists!
      You can recall the 1905 year and the Cossacks with whips ...
      And General Renenkapp, with his Cossacks, and their role in the death of General Samsonov’s army!

      And what did you want to say? Just take and fool one of the tragic pages in the history of the Russian State? You don’t even bother, in a couple of three decades, the Cossacks will go through Berlin, and through Paris, and through Jerusalem. The Russian language and your grandchildren (God grant them health) will be remembered.

    And what is the "special economic order"? And even more so everyday? How will the state regulate it?

    I will try to clarify.
    Primitively, of course, a couple of phrases.
    On the outskirts of the Russian state (where in the old days, history repeats itself), military-administrative territories are organized - the regions of the Cossack troops. A Cossack is a resident of these regions who carries out military service in a special order. In a military unit, say, 2 years and in the reserve 15 years. Regularly passing military training sessions and arriving at his unit at the "first whistle". If so many people serve, they will stay there. His family will also live there.
    Benefits and privileges for service to the Cossacks. To exempt from taxes, for example, as in the old days. The land on the territory of the Cossack troops can only be used by the Cossacks, and not by birth, but by "active"
    The purpose of the creation is to prevent the spread of national extremism on the territory of our country.
    So, briefly.

I’ll add from myself: I saw a report on local TV about the 23rd Separate, Guards, Vasilkovskaya, Order of Lenin, twice the Red Banner, named after Suvorov, Kutuzov and Bogdan Khmelnitsky, Petrukavskaya, named after the Volga Cossacks Motorized Rifle Brigade. She lives in the village of Kryazh. They said that the Cossacks serve in the regiment.

    Hello all.
    I think this: All Cossack units, without exception, must serve in the hottest and most unstable regions of our country (which they did before), which by itself will weed out all the "mummers" and discourage them from freebies. Serve 25 years.
    And then a former classmate drives up to me and offers to join the Cossacks, land, benefits, etc. , and most importantly do not have to do nichrome. I listened to him and everything calmed down. Maybe he felt my condition, but cut him off right away. And I remembered that my grandfather told me about my great-grandfathers (one participated in the "Iron Stream", the other, when he returned, received ramrods from the Cossacks ((they beat, but they said: "The axis is tobi will, the axis is tobi freedom, the axis of the Soviet power ", and beat it.)).
    Who rushes to defend the country as at a banquet table, he is a Cossack.
    He who is strong in spirit and merciless to enemies is a Cossack.
    He who is devoted to the cause of war and his homeland is a Cossack.
    KAZAK is a state of mind and a way of life.
    Everything else is tinsel, and in the event of a serious mess it will become clear who is the Cossack (Remember Nevzorov's Purgatory, as a GRU special forces soldier Cobra said - “Well done guy. I thought he’d drift. FROM THE COSSACKS !!!), and who’s just a dung.

    civil war and collectivization - the Cossacks were mortally wounded, and during the war they were completely killed. But in my opinion (and the opinion of some historians) Cossacks are not an ethnic group, they are rather a way of life and a position in life. It is always possible to restore these things, but not by these "mummers".

    The Cossacks are not the support of the people, but the form of their self-organization. The Cossacks are the historical structure of the self-organization of the Russian people where the state does not protect it and there is an external or internal enemy. At present, Cossacks are practically the only form of self-organization of the Russian people, and with all its randomness and decentralization, it is an extremely important structure. It’s nothing that the Cossacks are now mummers. This is a form of military self-organization, and when the Cossacks receive weapons not only during their military service, but they will certainly receive them, they will not cause laughter to anyone.

      Emotionally, of course, but one concrete question arises: on what basis, in fact? Why such a fright? Why Cossacks? And who exactly are they? How, for example, does a Cossack differ from me at least? No, no, I have nothing against the Cossacks as a kind of irregular troops. But somehow I see it this way: the Law on the Cossacks has been adopted; Registered Cossacks were transferred to the subordination of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Now they have six hours of service on weekdays (study and participation in events) and six hours of work on the ground or in production. Plus daily shifts on a rolling schedule. But they are paid less than contractors in the BB. Why? Well, after all, the state has allocated them land plots, they do not pay taxes, carrying weapons is allowed, medicine is free. Sovereign people what you want. Only for some reason I get the feeling that in such a situation, the "Cossack" youth will not rush, demolishing fences, into the ranks of the registered (now no fools!) Cossacks.

      PS Now about minorities. Personally, I have developed a rather interesting opinion: if a minority (it doesn’t matter, national, religious, sexual, etc.) starts screaming loudly about their rights, this means only one thing: this minority requires EXCLUSIVE rights for itself. Why? Yes, because its representatives already have common rights under the law!

    I believe in the Cossacks, this freedom-loving spirit is indestructible, no matter how much the Sverdlovs and Khrushchev try to destroy! And the city is beautiful, Novocherkassk - the capital of the Don Cossacks, my homeland, I love with all my heart!

    Novocherkassk

    The hill is the abode of a privet tribe,
    Like a sentinel in an ancient ridge
    Rebellious exalted captive
    Among the spring boundless water.

    Between two rivers that have been forever given to you
    These slopes are steep to embrace.
    Here are Sarmatian wise idols
    They guard the pristine expanse.

    Here is the Don hot hole
    The stallions themselves carry legs.
    The hill is the foundation of the Cossack city,
    How Tuzlov is not separated from Ak Su.

    And with a calculated Scythian endurance,
    Not trying to hope,
    Do not accept the fate of the city of Kitezh
    From heaven your domes.

    And may we be constantly on the move
    And the road is far away.
    Holds your pull tight
    Like the steel armor of Ermak!

    I myself have all the ancestors of Cossack origin, but I want to say one thing, everything just ... was it the last time in 1991. There was a chance to organize themselves, but personal interests took their toll, at least in Uralsk. Well, then the Kazakh security officers helped, the president a little money and real estate to the leadership of the Cossacks society threw them all and ruined, there was a chorus and a little bit of amateur performance. the state does not agree to give out weapons, to give land and monopoly crafts. But of course I would like to see it.

    Seeing how all kinds of groups, squads, squads, gangs, all kinds of newcomers are organized on our Russian soil, are organized. How they crush under themselves gradually: house, street, town, town, using the principle of the horde. And the local Russian population, alone or destroyed, or breaks down. I’m ready to join any group, detachment, public organization or gang (it doesn’t matter to me what it is called) if only it unites, consolidates all the Russians in a single fist, which would make it possible to resist the oppression. So all the shallow discussions about the Cossacks on the site, it's all empty, men. At the moment, only the Cossacks MAY unite the Russians into communities that can resist the dominance of blacks and Asians. Only Cossacks are the force that can save the foundation of the Russian nation: faith, conscience, honor. courage, fidelity. That is, everything that has been breaking so hard in us for the past 25 years. Sincerely.

      I agree with the definitions that the current Cossacks are a form of self-organization of the Russian people. Self-organization is really sorely lacking for us. I must honestly admit that the ruling elites at all times (the Russian Empire, the USSR, and present-day Russia) uprooted любые sprouts of self-organization in almost all areas of life, and this is one of our main troubles.

    Modern Russian Cossacks: “a hundred weights” or support for the people

    Cossacks of all Cossack troops who are engaged in real business and there are a lot of such (if you can easily see Google), they are not interested in SMRAD with their successes and achievements. Is it really interesting for them to show the graduation of the cadets of the Cossack cadet corps or the summer military-sports Cossack children's camp, fees.
    But to show "mummers" clowns is always and at once and on all channels.
    I liked the answer of the representative of the registered North-Western Cossack District to the question of the journalist.
    Journalist: - In St. Petersburg, there were events involving people dressed in Cossack uniforms, how do you deal with this?
    Cossack: - We don’t have time to catch Peter all the crazy dressed in Cossack uniforms, for this there is the police.

    For me, the Cossacks have a huge potential in putting things in order and defending the Truth. The point is that nowadays it is not necessary to resort to the most "legal" actions, so that individuals understand how to do it. For example, somewhere and the face should be stuffed and drug dealers should be taught a lesson, etc. Here are the Cossacks - the best tool for this. Only on condition that they all adhere to Orthodox morality, as it was customary.

    and others can not what?. So the thing will not work.
    I DEMAND to officially recognize the status of SAMURAI, and urge them to ensure law and order and defense. Well, since we can’t do without Cossacks, then we have no future without samurai !!.
    In addition, I demand the founding of the Jedi Order !!!!, and you can even combine it with the samurai and issue a laser katana.
    Already with the Jedosamurai the enemy will not pass; you will see, only this is the solution to our problems !!.


    P.S. who's for ?, let's sign the petition for Putin and create the Moscow Jedi Order and the Samurai clan !!. It’s not good to stay away.

    Few people know that in 1991 only the Rostov region and the Stavropol Territory fulfilled the plan for conscription into the army. Here someone wrote that there are no Cossacks now. In Transnistria, 1500 Cossacks of different Troops were awarded the cross "For the Defense of Transnistria", more than 70 posthumously.
    Abkhazia: "The Chechens respect the Cossacks, for the Cossacks remain in positions even when the Chechens withdraw."
    "Volunteer Cossacks fought in Bosnia, took part in the defense of North Ossetia from the Ingush, and South Ossetia from the Georgians."
    Chechnya: "... only one 694th Cossack battalion named after Yermolov was formed. Its short history is a mixture of the highest heroism and the most despicable betrayal. After all, it's one thing to arm all Tertsy and Kuban people, and another to have a single battalion. Throw the seed for greater hatred. It was created as a contractual part, it was meant for the defense of the villages, to cover the Terek left bank. But they threw it into the very heat, in the Zavodskoy district of Grozny, where the battalion immediately fell into an ambush. It suffered damage, but fought bravely and still won the battle.
    ... the battalion took Orekhovo. And on TV it was announced that the village was taken by the Ministry of Internal Affairs without losses, in fact we lost 20 people killed and 45 wounded ... After that we were transferred to Shali, to this hornet’s nest, where there are large gangs, a large number of our prisoners, and we receive an order not to use fire, not to stop passing cars, although Maskhadov and field commanders are passing through the existing roadblocks ... When we acted in the Zavodskoy district and when we answered the fire from the oil plant massive fire, howled adm information. As it turned out later, the shareholders of this plant are Gaidar, Shumeyko and one of the leaders of the Chechen gang.
    800 Cossacks won where the cadres could not cope. They fought for Samashki, Stary Achkhoi, Bamut. Dozens of Cossacks gave their lives, 140 were injured. The villagers prayed to the battalion. The old women asked: "Cossacks, just don't go!" "... the Chechens promised to wash their hands with our blood ..." And they could not help but leave, they were thrown here and there again. Soon the Yermolovites were withdrawn from Chechnya and disbanded. Without explanation. And the chieftain Shevtsov was removed.
    And at the same time, the media purposefully groaned and spat on the Cossacks!

    After the separation of Kazakhstan, the border with it became a "hole" through which drugs poured, gangs of robbers who stole everything, even sawing high-voltage towers for scrap. It was impossible to cover the entire steppe with border guards. In 1997, the Cossacks were attracted, 1780 people. They were provided only with civilian weapons for self-defense, they paid 500 rubles per person per year. But during the 5 months of the experiment, 230 violators were detained, contrabands worth 2 billion rubles, 500 kg of drugs were seized, and the theft of large quantities of cattle was prevented. Commissioner for the Cossacks IV Chentsov reports: "The Cossacks stood across this robbery to such an extent that Nazarbayev, when meeting with Yeltsin, raises the question of taking the Cossacks away from border guards ...
