Cossack girl

[Prapor]

Girl doing traditional Cossack dance with shashka (sabre) and nagaika (whip)

Танец с шашками

It is interesting, she handles the weapons quite well, in fact, better than me, I am not afraid to say. This tells me she is trained in the Cossack martial art, Djigitka, which is remarkable, because very few women are. Most masters only train boys. Times must be changing lol Either way, beautiful girl, beautiful music, and great moves. Enjoy

I would like to get my hands on a WWII Soviet Sshashka for the collection.

I always liked the Cossacks response to this demand from the Turkish Sultan in 1676:

As the Sultan; son of Muhammad; brother of the Sun and Moon; grandson and viceroy of God; ruler of the kingdoms of Macedonia, Babylon, Jerusalem, Upper and Lower Egypt; emperor of emperors; sovereign of sovereigns; extraordinary knight, never defeated; steadfast guardian of the tomb of Jesus Christ; trustee chosen by God himself; the hope and comfort of Muslims; confounder and great defender of Christians—I command you, the Zaporozhian Cossacks, to submit to me voluntarily and without any resistance, and to desist from troubling me with your attacks.
​

—Turkish Sultan Mehmed IV
​

The Response:

Zaporozhian Cossacks to the Turkish Sultan!
​

Thou art a turkish imp, the damned devil's brother and friend, and a secretary to Lucifer himself. What the devil kind of knight art thou that cannot slay a hedgehog with your naked arse? The devil sh#ts, and your army eats. Thou a son of a ***** wilt not ever make subjects of Christian sons; we have no fear of your army, by land and by sea we will battle with thee, **** thy mother.
​

Thou art the Babylonian scullion, Macedonian wheelwright, brewer of Jerusalem, goat-****er of Alexandria, swineherd of Greater and Lesser Egypt, Armenian pig, Podolian villain, catamite of Tartary, hangman of Kamyanets, and fool of all the world and underworld, a fool before our God, a grandson of the Serpent, and the crick in our dick. Pig's snout, mare's arse, slaughterhouse cur, unchristened brow, screw thine own mother!
​

So the Zaporozhians declare, you lowlife. Thou wilt not even be herding Christian pigs. Now we shall conclude, for we don't know the date and don't have a calendar; the moon's in the sky, the year in the book, the day's the same over here as it is over there; for this kiss our arse!

Er - I'll take that as a 'NO' then.

No that is a "Maybe", you don't dare to think about how a "NO" from them would look like... :lol:

 

[Redleg]

Describes our women well enough

Their beauty fades quickly though. I fugure it is from giving birth so often. Most our families are large

I understand even just 2 births take a toll on the body. Most our women have 3 and more. A pity. But, children are our wealth, of course. The rest of the country looks at us as an example how to solve their demographic issues lol

 

[Del Boy]

Great pictures. Those and the video are highly descriptive and leave little need for words, so provoke a lot of 'WOW' responses! Great education.

As it happens Prapor, we have 5 children and my grandmother had16 births, 12 of whom survived to adulthood.

You have provided terrific Forum material, IMHO.:bravo:

Thanks.

Well, we have four, oldest one, Ilya, is 6 years, youngest, Anya, is 2 months now.
We want another two or three in the coming years.

My aunt Zina and her Mikhail have the biggest brood I know, 9

Uncle Yakov has 7 children

Uncle Fedor also 7

Actually, I am proud to say, the biggest family in Russia, Shishkins, who have 11 daughters and 9 sons, are not only my fellow Cossacks, but come from the same region as us, Stavropolie, from a village neighboring ours

They are in the Guinness World Record book.

Why we are this way? Well, many reasons. For one, someone has to maintain a Orthodox Christian presense in the South, particularly Northern Caucasus. The Muslims, like Chechens, Ingush, Dagestanis, they **** and breed like rabbits, only we can match them So, we have to. If was not for us, the Olympic city, Sochi, would be Muslim now LMAO Same with Orenburg and Kurgan regions, where you have Kazakhs who also have high fertility rates.

Truth is, most Christians and Slavs, for whatever reason, don't like to reproduce. Sit around, drink beer, and waste their lives away, that's Moscow youth for you. Only others in this country who are like us are the Old Believers, pagans, up North.

Funny thing, under the Tsars, we helped persecute these people, but today, even as thousands of Old Way families return from exile in South America, we help them, ally with them. In Siberia, Cossacks rebuild villages once abandoned by Old wayers (who were running away from us, oh, the irony), and help get the arriving families settled in, get them food, clothes, seeds to plant (they are good farmers, already grow half the potatoes in Siberia), protect them.

I guess the old stuff has been forgotten. We have a different enemy today. That is radical Islam, that snake that is trying to invade our home from the South.
