“It is impossible for us to be set off again and sent to the fratricidal war by those who robbed and continue to rob the people, profiting more from this war. You are dozens of times more than the Nazis Bandera bloodswept by the blood of Nazis-Bandera fools and fooled by the Nazi propaganda. Where are you hiding, for what kind of skirts, at the time when fathers, mothers, wives and children of your brothers are being killed? ”Vodolatsky writes.
He reminded the Cossacks of one of the tragic pages. storieswhen, in the course of such a conflict, close people "found themselves hundreds of kilometers apart." “The 1918 – 1920 civil war claimed millions of lives,” the author writes and calls for “not to allow this situation to repeat”.
According to expert Yuriy Gorodnenko, “today's Cossacks of Ukraine is not a social stratum, but a network of public organizations that exist at the expense of private investors.” “The Cossacks practically do not support the state, their political position is formed independently of the current government and is often not heard,” he explained.
Another political analyst, a member of the public chamber, Sergey Markov, noted that “since the current Ukraine is a police state, it is difficult to conduct research and find out how many Cossacks residing in the country support the Kiev government, and how many opposition forces, while the Ukrainian authorities may try to create divisions of false representatives of the Cossacks ".
The largest public organization, the Ukrainian Registered Cossacks (URC), considers itself the legal successor of the Ukrainian Cossacks. It has representative offices in the USA, Australia, Japan and other countries. But members of the organization are particularly cautious about initiatives from Russia. The press service of the URC did not even comment on Vodolatsky’s letter. The leadership of the Ukrainian Cossacks is on friendly terms with the head of the Orthodox Ukrainian Church, Filaret, who took the side of the current government. According to media reports, at present, on the basis of the URC, young Cossacks are being formed from battalions to fight the militia of Novorossia.
