Russian Cossack troops from the Napoleonic wars have returned to France… 200 years after they were first seen there! Summer camps and traditional riding tricks, wielding swords while on horseback and doing spectacular stunts – this march towards Paris recreates the events of the beginning of the 19th century, but this time there will be no bloodshed or wounded. Just the splendor and the amusement of the times long passed.
The Cossacks were people who guarded the borders of Russia when there was no regular army.
After the regular army was formed by Tsar Peter I, the Cossacks became an official combat unit, which helped to magnify the strength of Russian weapons.
The Cossacks are an integral part of the Russian people. The Cossack movement was a form of mass protest against feudal oppression. This free society was based on equality and liberty of the members.
The Cossacks carried military service to protect the borders from foreigners and had become an important part of the Russian army.
The Cossacks received eternal gratitude for being loyal and courageous defenders of Russia.
In the modern Russian army a military unit may be given the honorary name of “Cossack” for heroism and bravery.
