From ancient times, the Cossacks stood at the defense of the borders of the Fatherland. The border villages took part in skirmishes with warlike mountain tribes: they repelled the onslaughts and themselves wandered across the floodplains. The Cossack brotherhood was tempered in constant struggle. Here everyone was for each other, and everyone was confident in the shoulder of their comrade, the same person, knowing that they would not abandon him.
