Over the fields of Kuban - Well, tell me how the flies? - asked the commander of the regiment, barely holding his feet from fatigue. - Fairly, "Lion of the Toppugs reported. - Before your arrival had to take command of the regiment on myself. Ten one and a half aircraft will have to patch.

In 1775, the free Cossacks of Zaporizhia SECHI decided to obey the Russian Empire. So the Kuban Cossack appeared, which today remains the right one in the late XVIII century oath.

At the same time, at the order of Empress Catherine II, all settlements of Zaporizhzhya Cossacks were destroyed, and the word "Schish" itself was forbidden to pronounce.

Some of the free Cossacks went to Turkey, where "New Sich" was created. But not all the Cossacks went to the "Stranching Bank", many decided to serve Russia officially, receiving salary and land for this.

Malorussias needed people who guarded the empty border of the Black Sea. One of the first to be for the creation of a new Cossack troops was the prince of Potemkin-Tavrichesky.

The favorite of the State Dummy called on the service of the Zaporozhtsev. From their number, the Black Sea Cossack army was formed. Soon the Cossacks led by Sidor White, Zharya Chespagoye and Anton, the head distinguished themselves in the war with Turkey: they took Izmail and Ochakov.

For courage and devotion to the Black Sea Cossacks were given new lands on Tamani. In the rescript of the sovereign Catherine II said: "The troop of the faithful Cossacks of the Black Sea was granted the island of Fanagoria with the lands between Kuban and the Azov Sea." The award was also an argument banner with the inscription "for faith and loyalty" and the right to trade in wine and goods.

Since that time, Cossacks were forever said goodbye to Ukraine. More than 20,000 thousand Cossacks arrived at the Kuban, which took up colonization. Dozens of villages were built, which the Chernomorets were called curses. The newborn capital was observed in honor of the Empress - Ekaterinodar.

On the territory of the Black Sea Cossacks there were still Hawa and Cossacks-lines. They, like the Cossacks, were directed here to populate the empty lands and the protection of the border.

The Black Sea troops had its own flotilla, consisting of frigates, barcases, yachts and boats. Fame came to them in 1811, when the Guards Sota became famous for his feat near Leipzig.

Chernomorstess in wars against Turkey were involved, the Polish uprising was suppressed, a lot had to be done in the Caucasian War. The long and bloody war with the mountaineers required the establishment of control over the conquered territories. Already by the end of the war, a decision was made to divide the Caucasian Cossack line and creating two troops - Teres and Kuban.

In 1860, began its history Kuban Cossack army, to which Black Sea. The first Ataman was appointed Major General Nikolay Ivanov. The seniority of the troops was considered since 1896. It was then that the Hawa Regiment was formed from the Don Cossacks, subsequently entered into the Kuban troops.

From the Zaporizhia and linear Cossacks, a new Cossack army was formed, which was located on the territory of the modern Krasnodar region, parts of the Stavropol Territory, Adygea and Karachay-Cherkessia.

Kuban Cossacks participated in all wars of the end of the 19th - early twentieth centuries. For their military merit, they have repeatedly received rewards from the hands of the emperors themselves. But Cossack Means spread not only to military service, but also on the repair of roads, the content of postal stations and bed buildings, and much more. As a reward for all these troubles, land was given from 7 to 9 tents.

But the Kubans were proud of silver and gold with richness, silver and gold. Cossacks were famous for valor and courage, and their army - centuries-old traditions and culture. "It didn't drink the water of Kuban - did not eat Kashi Cossack," they said, recalling that the Cossacks are a way of life where honor and loyalty were above all.

By the beginning of the civil war, the Kuban Cossack army was about 1.5 million people. In the revolutionary time, Kuban performed on the side of the White Movement.

In 1920, tens of thousands of Cossacks led by Ataman Naumenko were forced to go to emigration. But the descendants of the Cossacks live in the Krasnodar Territory and now, trying to revive the glory of the Kuban troops. The people devoted to their region, and to this day they sing a song dedicated to Kuban:

I remember about you here,
For you and not stand
For your glory old
Do not give life?
We, how to tribute our submissive,
From glorified signs
Come to you, Kuban Rima,
To crude land bow.

In 1960, the Kuban army celebrates the century of its existence. However, for the first time the Cossacks appeared in Kuban in Kon-Tse on the 17th and early 18th centuries., Forming there later, together with Nekrasov who came from Don after the suppression of the Bulavinsky movement, the great army of the Kuban, who existed in Kuban to the end of the Russian Turkish War 1736-39

Causes of the appearance there. Emigrations were a political and religious character - dried down.

The generally accepted simplified interpretation of the church split is: at the insistence of Patriarch Nikon, the clergy made the correction of church rites and books, and the masses took him for the change of dogmas. Meeting serious resistance, the church applied for help to the state power, which collapsed by terrible persecutions on the Raskolnikov, which would cause their flight to where Moscow's vocations was difficult to get to Don, Yaik,

Caucasus and far north.

The beginning of the split on the Don refers to 1672, when Timofeev's ruthless monk founded on the river. Chir male and female old-chitty sketes. At the same time, the splitters appeared on Hopre, White Kalitva, Medve-Dice. The strict life of the Old Believers, the lone suffering for faith caused the sympathy and support for most local Cossacks. The primitiveness of beliefs of residents of Don, who did not go into religious details, their wide vermorpability, if only a person believed in God, contributed to the peaceful cohabitation of antiquities and the serials of the Nikonov reform.

The decision of the Church Cathedral of 1681 on the search for Raskolniki naturally had an increase in their number on Don. Especially many of them are settled in the riding city.

The intervention of public authorities gave the persecution of the older political character, since Moscow. The government considered Don Raskolnikov not only as religious opponents, but also as hostile to the group to regime. Indeed, the Old Believers will be widely supported mainly among the rigorous Cossacks, which are opposed to Moscow and in general displeased increase in Moscow. influence.

Starting from the middle of the 17th century, the Don Ka-Obreda, which still represents a single mass, begins to settle for three inequal parts: Starin, Domorny Cossacks and "Golituba".

Elders (former military, hiking, rant attacks, military devices, etc.) were the heads of the Cossacks, co-keeping their meaning and the weight and after the absence of themselves with themselves, which they had a circle at one time. To their opinion, donated, taking into account their knowledge and experience. Strengthening their values \u200b\u200bof the ability - Valo and the fact that in their hands in powerively focused and material means. A significant number of elders was conscripts of Mosk politics. authorities. This is understandable: their socio-economic interests are beginning to acquire another ha-rakter than the interests of ordinary Cossacks. A larger from hunting for cattle breeding, and later to agriculture, the opportunity to use on-age work, focusing in their hands of trading and industrial enterprises, the presence of significant funds, finally their value and weight - all this is the fact that the elders They tried to divide from the total mass of the Cossacks and become independent from it. In turn, the Moscow authorities strongly tried to strengthen their influence on the elders; Upon their arrival in Mos-Kv, they cared for them, they did rich gifts.

However, not all the elders were supported and carried out mosk. Policy. Heading them will lie. The opponents - the Gulf Cantle Cossacks were such prominent persons like the army-howhan Ataman Samo Lavrentyev, the elders of Churnos, Murzenkov, Ilya Zrachkov, who later, after the death of Bulavin, Ataman troops.

Goleutba consisted of significant ceases from the new proletarian Cossacks, which had not yet reached the economic well-being-racing, it was continuously replenished with the "buttons" - people who fled from the MOS-Kovsky state from serfdom, from the arbitrariness of Mosk. officials, from severe taxes and duties and from religious proclaims. Come on the Don, these people fell into a difficult economic situation. Zemstrodée was prohibited by army, hunting and fisheries could not immediately contact everyone, the Tsar-Skrug barely had enough and the old Cossacks. War could give funds to essentially, but established relations with Mosk. The government did not allow to fulfill it on the right scale. Naturally, Goleutba was very harmful to mosk. authorities and stood for the Cossack liberty, for the independence of the Don. The concepts of this group of the population received the name of the splitting party on the circle, for its interests largely coincided with the interests of the Old Believers, as opposed to Par-Tii of Starinsky or Moscow, which conducted Mosk. Policy.

Between these extreme groups was the old domic height of the Cossacks, which possessed the economy and some mother-in-law and the middle position in relation to Moscow. It stranded to the independence of Don, but at the same time wanted to keep good relations with Mosk. authorities.

The struggle in the military circle between the two extreme directions is especially acute in the early 80s. Representatives of the splitting party are defenders not only one religious freedom, but mainly by Don independence and identity. They are against the intervention of the Moscow rule to the life of the troops. Their opponents, led by Frol Minaev *), were conducted in the circle and in the army of Moscow politics. Religious question went to the background.

It was even the course in favor of the full separation from Moscow. Peter Murzenkov, Ataman of one of the ridiculous towns, said: "It is better to be at the cortie than in Mos-Kve." Churnosov was less frank: "You can go on the Krymsky to the Crimean, it's necessary to clean the first, better than the Crimean than our kings in Moscow." His closest assistant Kuzma obliquely called for a campaign to Moscow, and Cheurnos himself got ready for a serious defense in the event of a mosk attack. Forces, trying to organize an alliance with terns and eggs and the Cossacks: "... And their letters on the Yik and Terek, so as not to listen

*) Frol Minaev Kumshatssky, a participant in the Razinka campaign to Persia, who has repeatedly embarked in Atamans, was a guide of Moscow. politicians. He especially loved Peter the Great. He died by Mon-Hom, under the name of Filaret. His sons were species of their time. Maxim Frolovich Kumshatsky has repeatedly been a hiking ataman, and from 1715 to 1717 he was a troop.

kings, nor Patriarchs, but tightly kept for faith old. In the same way, it will come to us what opal from Moscow, you then go to us ... Many hordes and Kalmyks for us are about us ... "

How much was the meaning of Ras Ringings, it is seen from the fact that in 1681 the military Ataman S. Lavranev was allowed to carry out church services in the old books, which was confirmed by the circle. Their political opponents - the elders wrote about their shaky of position in Moscow and even asked Voronezh the voyage to deal with the splitters on the Major. But the governor, fearing the armed conflict with the entire Don army, for the bear was considered the "Cossack skewer", replied: "... I can't teach the fishery, because it would not argue the whole don from this business ..."

Mosk. The government, still not you, who was a certain relationship to the split on the Don, but carefully followed what was happening, decided that the situation was more important, when during the usual total meal after the circle of Cossacks ceased "about the state health Shi drink, about the state of health ancient customs retalled, for three years (1684-87) at the church service did not remember the sovereign ... ". In 1687, Moscow demanded the issuance of split leaders, including S. Lavrent Bez, who replaced at this time at the Atamic post of Frol Minaev's arrogant.

Minaev, who returned from the campaign, hardly managed to insist on sending only Kuzma oblique, and Lavrentiev had to be "torn."

Order Mosk. The authorities did not have the army. Even more than one: in Moscow, Ataman Zimnosov was from-rightly Churnos himself, the main leader of the splitting party. Atamana Lavren-Teeva army did not give out: it simply did not fulfill the first certificate, on the second - Sloka of Samoile, on the 3rd replied that "Ataman Self-Posted of the troops to Ras Cole is not involved in the same sick and in Mos -We can not go. " The compilation of the post-her posts proceeded especially rapidly: a circle was going five times, the military Ataman Minaev, fearing for his life, passing the Ataman-Stem, left the circle. Later, he was persuaded to take a pen.

Moscow adherents wrote to Moscow, that in any case it is not necessary to let Churnosov need to be released on the Don, for about the form and moods such that can happen the same "rebellion" as when it is possible. On March 5, 1688, Churnos and the whole winter village in Moscow were arrested.

On April 7, 1688, Tolmach Nikitin arrived from Mos-Kvava again presented the requirement to issue Lavrentyev. On the circle of the Velief Cossack - the new arrive persuaded not to do this, for when the Cossacks are eaten from the rigorous towns, "the senders will be so good that the name does not remember." His words were not an empty threat: one of the previous mosk. Lettering about the extradition of Love-Rentiev 7 of the rigorous towns sent their sentences to the circle not to issue an ataman. The speech of the appearance on the circle was a meeting-on very sympathetic and supported by many Cossacks. For the Moscow Party, a very tense position was created. F. Mi-Osev "From Comrades", realizing that the case is at-nimatting for them the turnover and that and that, and their lives threaten danger, beat the Ohra Tora "to death", and the body was thrown away from the circle. The splitting party, who did not expect such a strong reaction, trembled and, after a long persuasion, a circle, and then the congress of the whole troops, decided to send Lavrentyeva to Mos-Kvu.

In this case, the struggle in the circle had a pronounced political character. The circle fought against the intervention of Mos Kua in his internal affairs, against the limitation of the independence of the troops. But if part of the Cossacks, especially the rigorous towns, got into an open military collision with Moscow, then the other understood that now the army could not struggle with the Moscow state, and that, on the contrary, conflicts with the capital can accelerate the restriction of ka-whine identity.

For Don Troops, the CO-existences had three consequences:

1. The army lost the right of religious asylum, as in 1671, after the Razinkle movement, lost asylum asylum rights.

2. The role and knowledge of the elders, which, relying on the under-support of Moscow, began to manage Don in their own way.

In May 1688, Lavrentiev and Churnos "from Thorarishi" were executed in Moscow, one-time from there came to the Don grades, with an indication of defeating the split-s). In August, the county of the Cossacks Ataman Mi-Khailova, sent along with Kalmyks in the rover Don, destroyed the split-whose scebs there, as well as their main town on the Major. About two thousand Cossacks - Raskolnikov with Peter Murzenk, headed from the territory of Don to Kuma in Vlad Shakhimal Tarkovsky. The local population met by a friendly, A shaft, on the land of which they settled, declared them with their "tags" (guests under folk patronage). Having learned about the intention of the Cossacks to build boats and sit "Prey of Zipunov" at sea, the chess set them between R. Sulak and her Rou-Kava Agrachama, where the Cossacks with the new energetic bone of Bonfire Ivanov (the formerly at the bottom of the town of the town), put the town, for the defense of which they pon wooden cannons with iron-mi hoops (N. P. Krasnov. "Eastor . Done essays "1884). They retained their military unit, a circle and military ataman, but they should have been taken by Sultan, the owner of the Caucasian lands, in relation to which the argument for Agrachani was in vassal addiction. In religious relations on the part of the Turks, complete guidance was manifested. The co-seams of the Agrahans were the Teress and Ring Cossacks, belonged to them with full sympathy, and Caucasian mountaineers, relations with whom, thanks to the agitation of Moscow agents, after a while they began to deteriorate. The agent for the existence of the Agrahans was mined fishing, hunting, and mainly raids on Moscow and Persian villages, royal studies, vessels of Moscow and Persian merchants. Prey they were divided with a checker.

Agrahans did not lose touch with Don, where they had a lot of uninterests. We sent there "Bottles" and "Pre-Forest" letters, restoring the row-born Cossacks against foreman, and most importantly against Moscow, had a well-known success on Don. Dissatisfied Donets were called to Sea-Be on Agrahan.

At the same time, the Agrahan Cossacks were non-completely to go to more active acts. P. Murzenkov, who played among them a prominent role, threatened to return to the Don and the "ears of the head to cut, with the beards to hang and hang around the anchors." Often split-nicknames took part or were pro-vodkers in the raids of the mountains on the Moscow lands and Cossack towns.

It seemed to be a dual, the point to the Don Army was explained by the fact that the Agraracians in the foreman saw only the faithful servants of Moscow, to which they treated Luta with hatred. To the Great Carekish, they treated Muhara to more tolerant.

The Moscow government is trying to force the Cossacks by all measures - split-nikov return to Don. In his insistence, the Don Army sends grams to the agrahan grams with calls to return, promising full amnesty. They wrote to the emigrants and royal governors, but everything was imperative. The Moscow ambassadors beat the Agrahans on the circle "Olopami", "planted into the water", the Lazute Chikov and agitators were killed, and the Don Ka-Zaksham passed that they would not appeal to them with such proposals, otherwise the military envoys would comprehend the same fate.

At the same time, the Moscow authorities have repeatedly appealed to the Kabardian princes, Tatar-Sky Khanam and Murzam, Kalmyk Tisham with a call to destroy the settlements of the Cossacks - Raskolnikov on Agrahani. Moscow wrote about this and to the voivods in Astrakhan and on those rivers, demanded more active military measures from the Don troops, but all this remained without consequences. Neither the natives nor the governors have taken serious steps, because the Agrahaans were under the patronage of Shakhmed, very tse-nivissed them for maritime "abilities," and the Don-Skoy army naturally did not show much desire to destroy their fellows, which many of the Cossacks who were On Don, very sympathetic. The same foreman, fearing apart from this strengthening of the troops on Agrana, repeatedly indicated - la that if the persecution of the splitters on the Don will continue, then they will have a lot of mothers and fools and there they will go to the destruction to the scholars. "

But the persecution continued, following what in 1692 more than a thousand Cossacks - Raskolnikov again leave don to Agra-Han. Their parish pushed the Agrahan Cossacks on an active performance against Don Troops. In 1693, the big equestrian squad of the Agraracians ruined Cossack towns by middle the course of Don, and especially the elderly and the prosperous Cossacks. This raid caused serious repression by Moscow. Numerous tsarist troops were sent to destroy the agrahan troops. Under their pressure, it was completely moved deep into the mountains, but started friction among the Cossacks themselves and damage to the natives with the natives entailed his disintegration. Part of the Agrahantians moved to the Grebensky Cossacks, and the other, more significant, went to Kuban, where it was settled by its flow, from the mouth of the Laba to the very moth. Subsequently, the Cossacks of the Agrahans, the axis in the Kuban, became part of the great troops of the Kuban, who was arranged on Ku-Bani after the suppression of the Bulavinsky Movement.

Military art has always been a significant part of the lives of many nations and states. After all, as soon as a person picked up a stick, he began to use his power to subordinate to himself like. This negative love for violence pursued humanity throughout his history. This fact led to the fact that in each nationality there was a separate class of warriors, distinguished by professionalism and merciless.

It should be noted that there were also similar warlike castes on the territory of Slavic states. The history of their formation is quite interesting, given the fact that in the territory of modern Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and other CIS countries conducted permanent wars for the territorial domination between different states. Thus, permanent military conflicts have significantly hardened the population living in the countries presented.

If we speak specifically about the Russian Federation, then the Kuban Cossacks are the most famous military community. The creation of this troops was carried out by years, and their activities were alive to this day.

The article will consider the most vivid stages of the development of the Kuban Cossacks, as well as the specifics of this military formation.

Who are the Kuban Cossacks?

The history of the Kuban Cossack troops dates back to very distant times. Today, it is quite difficult to present the entire chronology of the existence of this military formation, as it is still valid on the territory of the Russian Federation, which will be discussed later in the article. Nevertheless, if you consider historical facts, then the Kuban Cossack army is part of the entire Cossacks in the Russian Empire, which was based in the North Caucasus. In other words, this formation played the role of modern border guards.

From historical sources, it is known that the military headquarters of the Kuban Cossacks was based in Ekaterinodar (the modern name of the city - Krasnodar). Despite the fact that the Kuban Cossack army was a typical military group, one of the elements of the army of the Russian Empire, his ethnos was formed at its base. This fact today makes it possible to talk about the Cossacks not just as warriors, but as a separate nationality, along with Russians, Chechens, Kazakhs, etc.

History of creation

The Cossacks of the Kuban Cossack troops were originally not a homogeneous ethnic mass of patriots of their state. After all, as already mentioned earlier, the history of this formation is quite complex. The Kuban Cossack army was formed from several groups of Cossacks, which by the middle of the XVIII century there was quite a lot in the territory of the Russian Empire.

Of course, the progenitors of the Cossack regiments of the Kuban need to consider the Zaporizhzhya Cossacks, which appeared in the XVI century. As we know, they were originally based on the territory of modern Ukraine, which is located near the modern city of Zaporizhia. Subsequently, they became a threat to imperial power, because of the organized military formation turned into ordinary robber groups. Therefore, by the end of the XVIII century, the Cossacks as such received the status of "out of law". However, this fact was not the final point in the development of such formations.

Black Sea Cossacks

In 1774, the Russian Empire gets access to the Black Sea. At this stage, Turkey ceased to pose a threat, and the relationship of compassion, one of the strongest states in the West, was on the verge of full collapse. Therefore, the need for the retention of Cossacks in their historical place is no longer required. In addition, these formations by the end of the XVIII century began to turn into gangster structures. The confirmation of this fact is to maintain the Cossacks of Pugachev uprising. Thus, in 1775, it was decided to complete the destruction of all its inhabitants. In this slaughter, only 12 thousand Cossacks were able to survive, which subsequently fled at the mouth of the Danube.

The army of faithful Zaporozhetsev

It should be noted that the appearance of a condescene juicy was a weighty argument for Turkey, which got additional forces in the composition of 12 thousand soldiers. In turn, the Russian Empire, seeing the threat to its territorial interest in the south of the Power, stops the process of liquidation of the Cossacks. Moreover, in 1787, he creates the army of faithful Cossacks from among the previously persecuted participants of the eponymous regiments. With their help, the Russian empire is not only strengthened in the south, but also wins the Russian-Turkish campaign of 1787-1792.

Creation of Kuban Cossacks

The Kuban Cossack army, whose photo is presented in the article, was formed in 1792. After the Russian-Turkish campaign, the delegation is sent to the capital of the Russian Empire, at the head of which the judge of the Black Sea troops was put by Anton Golovaty. The delegation was collected in order to ask for the "enlightened monarchy" of land for the settlement of the Black Sea Cossacks. Negotiations took place from March to May 1792. The "management" of the empire did not want to allocate the Cossacks of the neighborhood of Taman and the Earth on the right bank of the Kuban. In this case, the position of the imperial power was clear - the unwillingness to create the formation of such a Cossacks that can be betrayed at any time. However, the consent was still achieved. Thus, since 1792, the regiments of the Kuban Cossack troops began to be located in Tamani and Kuban. These land were transferred to them "in eternal and hereditary possession", which is generally confirmed by the existence of the Kuban Cossacks today.

The history of linear Cossacks

It should be noted that the Kuban Cossack army was formed not only exclusively from the Black Sea Cossacks. The Kuban regiments also included the so-called "linear Cossacks", which became part of a large military formation in 1860. However, the history of the Caucasian linear Cossack troops begins with the middle of the XV century. The progenitor of linear regiments were the Hawk Cossacks.

HOPER HOUSING PERSONS.

Khopersky Cossacks lived in the territory and a bear since 1444. But in the XVIII century, the shelves made an uprising against the power of Peter I. The monarch reaction was immediate and cruel.

In the period from 1708 to 1716, in the territories between the specified rivers, no one lived. However, since 1716, the Cossack shelves were returned here, which were the participants of the Northern War. For the military valor during the war with Sweden, the Hawa Cossacks were allowed to build their fortress in a historic homeland. Subsequently, the army has evolved so much that part of it was translated into the North Caucasus to protect the borders of the Russian Empire. And in 1860, as already mentioned earlier, this part of the Cossack troops was translated into the Kuban military formation.

Modern stage of development of the Kuban Cossacks

The Kuban Cossack army exists to this day in the territories, which were highlighted in the late XVIII century. This military formation performs the role of unplaced border guards. It should be noted the fact that the Kuban Cossacks were participants in the First World War and Great Patriotic Wars. The last historical period, which began from 1945, significantly abolished the role of the Cossacks in the field of public administration and service. Nevertheless, no one has disbanded this formation, even taking into account the political doctrine of the Soviet Union.

Atamans of the Kuban Cossack troops throughout the history of its existence, all their forces defended the rights of their people, which by 1945 could already be called a completely separate ethnic. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Cossack communities were united in the Russian Federation in order to increase the identity and glorification of ethnic minorities of the state. Since then, there is such an organization as the Kuban Cossack Cossack Society (KVCO).

Kvko

KVCO starts its history since 1990. Vladimir Gromov became the first Ataman of this military organization. It should be noted that the combat capability of the KVCO divisions is at a sufficiently high level. This is confirmed by this is the participation of a mentioned organization in the Abkhaz War. In 1993, the KCCO divisions were first entered into the city of Sukhum. Later, the Kuban Cossack army was included in the "State Register of Cossack Societies of the Russian Federation". This means that the activity of KCCO has become legal. In addition, there are regalia of the Kuban Cossack troops and a peculiar structure of society. To date, the organization plays the role more law enforcement, rather than the military authority.

Territorial structure of KVCO

The Kuban military Cossack society has its own territorial structure, which allows us to talk about significant development not only the organization as a whole, but also its activities. To date, the structure of KVCO consists of the following territorial units:

1. Its Cossack Department.
2. Caucasian Cossack Department.
3. Taman Cossack Department.
4. Ekaterinodar Cossack Division.
5. Maykop Cossack Division.
6. Batalpashinsky Cossack Department.
7. Chernomorsk Cossack District.
8. Sukhumi special Cossack department.

This structure allows KVCC to exercise its law enforcement functions much more efficiently and maximally.

Culture of Kuban Cossacks

In addition to a significant role in the military sector of the Russian Federation, Kuban Cossacks are quite interesting ethnic social education. His cultural traditions go to the Zaporizhia Cossacks. Kuban warriors are quite close in the cultural matter with indigenous Ukrainians. There is also a Cossack form of the Kuban Cossack troops, the design of which was also formed historically.

The article featured the Kuban Cossack Army. The origins of the formation and structure of this organization will rise to the time of the existence of Zaporizhzhya Cossacks, which, in fact, became the progenitors of the Kuban military. This ethnic formation is still valid on the territory of modern Russia. Let's hope that this island of Slavic culture is not lost in the bunch of centuries!
