James Bond film GOLDENEYE does mention Cossacks as well... Rogue British agent Alec Trevelyan has to be stopped by Agent 007...Trevelyan's parents were Cossacks who were sent back to USSR by British after WW2...Trevelyan wanted some revenge for what British government did.
Sean Bean’s character— interesting bit of film writing by an informed Brit writer would bet.
Zbigniew Brezinski (Mika’s dad) was said to be Polish and somehow a “white russian”— politics under Carter.. very far Left Leftist Socialist, which would fit a White Russian anti-Stalin and pro-Nazi past. Not out of the realm of affiliated shared sides.
Dots to connect-— Joe Scarborough, and MSNBC and all that past. Can’t stand either mika or joe— disgusting pair of liars.
