Military class or private security company: what are Russian Cossacks doing during the operation in Donbass
Torch relay of the VII International Sports Games "Children of Asia" in Dalnerechensk Passed under the careful protection of the Cossacks of the Iman village of the Ussuri Cossack army.
In addition to the Cossacks, police officers, members of the voluntary national security team and representatives of private security companies (private security companies) took part in ensuring public order and road safety. In total, more than fifty people were involved.
In a difficult time for the country, when the Fatherland is in dire need of heroes and defenders on the front line in the Donbass, the descendants of the brave Cossacks, apparently, decided to exchange the status of the military class, gained through military valor and the exploits of their ancestors, for the format of a security organization in the rear.
Of the 165 thousand registered Cossacks of 12 military societies, including two districts, Baltic and St. Petersburg, only 5 thousand volunteers went to the front during the five months of the Northern Military District.
Demonstrative imprisonment in the rear, evasion of duty to protect state foundations, the unity and integrity of the country, and the preservation of its true sovereignty provoked a barrage critics to the estate.
Experts note that modern Cossacks increasingly prefer reconstructions и festivals instead of real battles, which would truly indicate a desire to preserve the traditions of their ancestors.
