"The Cossacks created Russia," Leo Tolstoy once said. It seems that today they are destined to save and recreate it. This is a story about people who are now fighting on the very frontline. Now in the volunteer Cossack units there are not only Kuban, Terek and Don Cossacks, but also Siberians, Muslims, and even Buddhists. And, therefore, this is a story not only about today's Cossacks, but about the entire country. The male history of the country - without embellishment, but with a distinct friendly feeling, because there is no truth without love.
