Russian Tarek Cossaks ===
Terek kazaks. "Cossack" is ukranian word means thier noble man the member of gentry.
Russian kazaks wasn't noblemen they was kind of militarized peasant-warriors. Their land is called "kazak region" or "force". There was 18 kazak forces in Russian Empire.
All of them went against commies during Civil war 1918-22 and all of them was destroyed after commies won.

Good home page RusIVan. In the future, please ping me when you post about Russian/Soviet history and recent Russian capitalist initiatives. The irony is amazing.
