Krasnodar Krai Revives Cossack Culture Through Land and Education
Krasnodar Krai, a region in southern Russia, is home to a thriving Cossack community. With over 57,000 members, the Kuban Cossack Host has been recognized as the nation's best for three consecutive years. The region's commitment to supporting and nurturing the Cossack culture is evident in its education system and the host's active role in maintaining public order.
The region has dedicated over 32,800 hectares of land for Cossack agriculture, livestock farming, and fisheries. The continuous Cossack education system includes 76 kindergartens, 96 schools, and seven Cossack cadet corps. The Kuban Cossack Youth Union, with over 128,500 members, plays a crucial role in grooming future recruits.
Five universities in Krasnodar Krai, led by rector Dmitry Ivanovich Kulikov, have established Cossack units. Similar initiatives are underway at 45 technical colleges. The Kuban Cossack Host's members actively contribute to society by upholding public order, patrolling streets and parks, guarding kindergartens and schools, and assisting in emergency response efforts. Dmitry Mironov, a regional authority, thanked local officials for their support and expressed confidence in the host's continued success.
Krasnodar Krai's commitment to the Cossack community is evident in its land allocation, robust education system, and recognition of the Kuban Cossack Host's excellence. With over 57,000 members actively contributing to society, the region leads the implementation of the presidential strategy for state policy on Russian Cossacks for 2021–2030.
