In this case, I know more than you do.
Have you ever heard of the Cossacks? Do you know the Jewish point of view on that?

Cossacks are not Russians. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cossack "The Cossacks (Russian: Каза́ки, Kazaki; Ukrainian: Козаки́, Kozaky; also known as Polish: Kozacy, originally derived from Turkic Qazaqlar) are a traditional community of martial people living in the southern steppe regions of Eastern Europe (primarily southern Russia and historically Ukraine) and Asia (Siberia and Northern Kazakhstan). They are famous for their self-reliance and military skills, particularly horsemanship. "Cossack" has also traditionally referred to a member of a Cossack military unit." "Their numbers grew during late medieval times, joined by numerous Ukrainian, Russian and Ruthenian serfs fleeing from their owners. Eventually Cossacks became guardians of ethnic and state boundaries. In the 18th and 19th centuries Cossacks in Europe became known for the numerous wars with Russia and contributed to the stereotypical portrayal of Russia." "Currently in Russia, Cossacks are seen as either ethnic descendants or by their active military service and often both."
