Cossack communities

Cossack communities are historically semi-military groups originating from Eastern Europe and southern Russia, known for their horseback skills, independence, and distinct culture. They traditionally served as frontier guards, defending territories and borders, and developed their own social structure, customs, and identities. Today, Cossacks often maintain cultural traditions, participate in regional events, and serve in various civic roles, blending their heritage with modern society while preserving their unique history and sense of community.
