Unbreakable Cossack Spirit
Life flies with cosmic speed, events and characters change in the rhythm of a mad flurry, it is difficult to pay attention to everything... But there are episodes that are etched in human memory forever, moments over which time has no power. How often do we hear about the "Cossack family".
Who are those Cossacks? What were they like? What do we have from them?
Proud sons of the free steppes, infinitely brave, hardy, faithful to their ideals, merciless to their enemies. These proud knights were famous for their deep patriotism, boundless loyalty to the Christian Orthodox faith.
It was possible to defeat a Cossack, cut open his chest and tear out his heart, hang him by the rib on an iron hook, quarter him or put him on the stake, but it was impossible to break the spirit of a Cossack...
The emergence of the Cossacks was a response to the threat to the existence of our people. The loss of statehood, the spread of foreign oppression, enslavement, religious pressure, and the introduction of duties turned the farmer and craftsman into a special type of warrior - the Cossack.
