All-Russian ataman: the Cossacks’ avoidance of the Northern Military District calls into question the meaning of their existence
The All-Russian ataman condemned the passivity of the Cossack commanders, who avoid fulfilling their main mission.
All-Russian Ataman Nikolai Doluda expressed question on the feasibility of reviving the Cossacks in Russia during a teleconference between the leaders of Cossack societies.
At the meeting, the topic of regular military training was raised, at which combat skills should be improved. Doluda expressed indignation at the fact that the atamans could not bring a satisfactory number of Cossacks to the training grounds, as well as their reluctance to fulfill their assigned role of “defenders of the Russian land.”
According to him, mission avoidance, which the Cossacks should initially adhere to, calls into question the meaning of its revival, which began in the 90s of the XNUMXth century.
“Today, when blood is shed for the independence of Donbass and the sovereignty of Russia, the Cossack’s place is on the battlefields, next to our Cossack brothers, volunteers, in the same ranks with the Cossacks of the Lugansk and Donetsk People’s Republics, with the military personnel of the Russian Armed Forces! <…> The honor of every Cossack society is to have its own volunteer detachment on the battlefields of Donbass!” - said Doluda.
After the start of the fire protection campaign on the territory of Ukraine, the Russian Cossacks significantly increased the number of activities removed from military affairs: for example, fire-fighting horse patrols appeared on the highways, and there were also reports of record volumes of destroyed hemp.
The number of various festivals has also increased. Thus, soon after Doluda’s condemning speech, a festival will open in the Ulyanovsk region “Volga flash"with festivities, dance and singing performances and various competitions.
