Cossack dances (1/5)

[@mendoaiya]

I have a Russian friend who himself is a descendant of a Cossack family and who had also served in the Russian Army. He is a such a nice person as a human-being. - Harsha So I like this Cossack dance and song too.

[@Sashkotheweird]

@Gjalpinulva Continuation: Unfortunatelly, not many of them survived communists' repressions of 1917 - 21, Golodomor of 1932 - 33 and Stalin's repressions during and after WW2... But I am glad to hear you guys are still there! Thanks and please keep your traditions over future generations!

[@searats20]

Great dancing!!!!!!!!! Love Cossack dances. :)

[@bozenaolew]

Dumka piękna,a taniec kozacki jak każdy Ich taniec porywający

[@Gjalpinulva]

@Sashkotheweird The big question is where Zaporozhyan Cossacks came from. They lived in the area called Wild Steppe which was previously populated by Indo-European tribes of Scythians and Sarmatians. In both Muscovy and Poland-Lithuania Cossacks were called Circassians and they even had found town Cherkassk in Ukraine. But Circassians are group of nations living in the area South of Don river and all the way to Caucasus Mountains.

[@roxanneroxanadanna290]

Just wonderful. Fabulous dances.

[@Gjalpinulva]

@Sashkotheweird Thus it is possible that Cossacks are direct descendants of nomadic Scythians and Sarmatians and appeared as result of separation from Alans (modern Ossetians). It is fact that Ossetians (before they moved up to the mountains) were among Terek Cossacks which known to exists for at least 500 years. From this point migration of Cossacks to Kuban was actually return to their original territory.

[@Lazar346]

Serbija pozdravljajet Vas nasi Rosijani!!! ljubim vas:) i igrajem kozacok

[@Akrus15]

@Lankonij Hey iam a Tatar, my dad told me that Cossacks where tribes of russian and turkish people living in Russia,Ukraine and the Caucasus who got independent from the Russian Empire and the Tatars. He also said they look very caucasian because they took over their clothe-style.

[@Qvkeg]

очень понравилось!!!!!!!!!!!!!! спасибо!!!

[@ThunderFarts420]

hail to my great grandfather. he was a cossack assassin from pinsk!

[@WolvenRemorse]

I have no idea what this is, or what any of it means, but this was really beautiful to watch and listen to.

[@TheMico1982]

This is so beautiful.Greetings from Bosnia

[@lesava]

Fantastično!!!Svaka Čast!

[@cuoreazzuro]

Long live Est European Culture..warm hello from Romania

[@suitevictor]

Eu concordo com você. Pobre Rússia! Um pais atualmente com uma história trágica mais também com uma cultura maravillhosa!

[@Lankonij]

In European sources the term first appears in a dictionary of the Cuman language (see Cumans) in the mid-13th century. It is also found in Byzantine sources and in the instructions issued by Italian cities to their colonies on the Black Sea coast, where it is applied to armed men who were engaged in military service in frontier regions and protected trade caravans traveling the steppe routes.

[@Psyhozard]

@KirkFetkovic Not really have you heard of Ermak ? He was a don cossack and the Zaporozhian Sich was still untouched.Don cossacks apperared in the 14 century and Zaporozhian Sich was destroyed in In May 1775.

[@Bigfunkytown]

i enjoyed this.

[@AlexeykaTKD]

Glozgly, hello from Russia, thank you! ;) And i want say - cossacks live in Russia and Ukrain

[@OliverDoell]

SUPER !!!

[@GizaPaul]

They are really amazing...

[@manolett]

yo tambien, especialmente en la bestimenta de las mujeres, pero obviamente son nacionalidades distintas

[@princessauthentic3]

precioso como canta! jajaj :d gracias a tolstoi conoci a los cosacos

[@AlexanderAV]

@Gjalpinulva Just want to say that this is true. My lineage is from Siberia (Novokuznetsk to be specific) and it's true, Cossacks resided in Russia but are more like a self-governing entity and allies rather then part of the country.

[@Psyhozard]

@Czosnozord Cossacks were in Russia too. Don cossacks? Kuban Cossacks? not only in Ukraine.

[@martoAXZ]

Wonderful. P.S. I will probably doing a semester in Russia next year :P

[@EUROPIA-nh6yj]

Cossaks are the most interesting (and charming?) part of the Russian supernation. Their roots are in Sarmatian- Bulgarian tribes near Azov sea, that were later (11-13 c. A.D.) christianised and Slavicized, so now they are half-descendants of ancient Sarmato-Bulgarians, and half - of Russians. And they lived many sencuries in an unique form of democracy. The Bolshevik's genocide against Cossaks (1919-1921; 1930-33) was the second biggest in Europe.

[@kolotreepa]

hello from canada.....harno harno

[@Sashkotheweird]

@Gjalpinulva - thanks for your reply and info about Kuban' cossacks. Can you please also let me know what you think/know about Zaporrizhhyan/Ukrainian cossacks? At the beginning of 18-th century Moskovian/Russian army occupied their land and killed many of them. Rest who survived moved to Kuban' and Danube. The ones who moved to Kuban', with time started calling themselves Kuban's cossacks but kept their Ukrainian culture and language.

[@isironn]

@emilyblatz I drink vodka and dance with bears... joke. It's a strong national dance:) My soul are flying when i heard this music.

[@MickScarborough]

@cuoreazzuro All cultures should survive. Its what makes life on earth interesting

[@ygustavo]

[@rajendrabiswas]

1 st music was beautiful

[@lenelovis]

Great!:O)))

[@Lankonij]

The name Cossack (kozak) is derived from the Turkic kazak (free man), meaning anyone who could not find his appropriate place in society and went into the steppes, where he acknowledged no authority.

[@Spetnaz23]

what's the name of thoses dancers :D or when/where they did this so nice show?

[@KRAJINA91]

[@weskerclaire4ever]

[@milosstevanovic7594]

Pozdrav iz Srbije!! :D

[@awesome220]

@Stifant these is chechen

[@wolfgangruda]

Kuban Kosaken are great :)

[@AlexanderAV]

@WolvenRemorse Love, as always

[@sphaeramundi]

@KalugaDON And yet every cossack I personally met loves Russia and considers himself a Russian. It's true that they say that they are a special breed of Russians, a special breed of people. But everyone has an ethnicity; and the cossacks didn't land in Russia on spaceships.

[@davidzver99]

@isironn idk what that means but i like it :D

[@pavolilles8047]

super music

[@4773549thesecondpart]

Thank you for your comment. I searched the title of this song for a long time. спасибо ;)

[@lordzmaster]

Very well! Very well! Althought I prefer the cossacks of Tolstoi...jajjaja

[@Kukushara]

People if you don't know history, it's better for you not to type stupid things and confuse others. According to the history, Russia, Ukraine and some other countries were one mighty state - Kyivska Rus. But this dance belongs to Don Cossacks. And by the way they were and are a kind of military organization in Russia. P. S. Look at the map. Don is one of the major rivers of Russia.

[@SonaSmartChild]

This is similar to the northern Bashkurd dances!!

[@Gjalpinulva]

@Sashkotheweird I'm Kuban cossack and I can tell you that we consider ourselves as separate entity. Neither Russian nor Ukrainian. Its a big topic, you have to know alot about cossacks to understand it.

[@DarkValkyria]

does someone knows the name of the first song? :S

[@AmarokSaga]

@isironn Не беспокойтесь. Там много людей, которые говорят с использованием большого количества грязных слов, но это Theyre способ выражения, а не именно потому, что они пытаются оскорбить. Многие Латинской говорить так. Надеюсь, что вы можете понять, что я имею в виду, я использую Google переводчик.

[@CourtlySeaDog]
