When the day of the Kuban Cossack army is celebrated the day of the Kuban Cossack army celebrates annually on October 14. If the date falls on a weekday, the holiday is held on the nearest Sunday to it. It is no coincidence that the Cossack holiday falls on the church - the cover of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The Mother of God protects people and patronizes the soldiers.

In the year, on the most difficult days of the “Azov sitting”, the protection of the city of Azov from the Turks, having repulsed many attacks, the Cossacks had already exhausted their strength and were preparing for death. The fighters prayed and decided to fight to the last drop of blood, but the enemy retreated. And to this day, all Russian Cossacks believe that they were the image of the Mother of God with a cover, who stood up for the brave warriors.

Then the descendants of these Cossacks formed the basis of the Khopersky regiment, which was later included in the Kuban Cossack army in the year.

The Kuban army, on the other hand, was formed on the basis of the Black Sea Cossack army, created during the Russian-Turkish war by the prince and statesman Grigory Potemkin from among the Cossacks of the previously blurred troops of Zaporizhzhya. From the year, the relocation of the Cossacks to the Kuban lands began, the development of the Cossacks of the Kuban began. The main goal of the resettlement of Cossacks to the Kuban is to protect the southern borders of the Russian state from the raids of the mountain tribes, the opposition of Turkish aggression and the development of new lands.

Further, the year is of great importance when the Black Sea Cossack army of thousands of people and the Caucasian linear Cossack army, thousands of people were united in the Kuban Cossack army. At that time, the geography of the resettlement of the Kuban Cossacks was impressive-this is the territory of modern Krasnodar Territory, Adygea, Karachay-Cherkessia, the west of the Stavropol Territory and the south of the Rostov region.

Kuban Cossacks as an estate were originally as distinctive as possible. There was no more democratic society in the Russian Empire. The military ataman, koshev and smoked chieftains were chosen by voting, while the lands were distributed according to the merits. The relationship “state-Cossacks” was built on the military system, that is, the state of the emperor endowed the Cossacks with the land for their military service.

The first and most noticeable blow to the Cossack democracy of the “freemen” was inflicted in the year, shortly after the Cossacks settled in the Kuban, Emperor Paul appointed Ataman Timofei Kotlyarevsky. The Cossacks did not elect him at the military circle, as it had always been before, but was appointed from St. Petersburg. It should be noted that there were more worthy candidates for the position of chieftain, and the Cossacks were extremely unhappy with the choice of the emperor.

Gradually, Cossack democracy is a thing of the past.

After the unification of the two Cossack troops in the year, and then the end of the Caucasian war in the year, the need to protect Russia from the highlanders. But I did not disappear in the Cossacks. Not a single war or an armed conflict with Russia did without the Kuban Cossacks - they participated in the Patriotic War of the year, took Paris in the year, participated in numerous wars with the Turks, the Persians, conquered the Caucasus, and fought in European campaigns.

After the First World War and the Civil War, from year to year - the era of repression of Soviet Russia against the Cossacks.

They were resettled, sent, shot, arrested. Looking in the eye, it is necessary to state the fact - in - X years, all the Kuban Cossack traditions actually had to revive again. The indicative moment is the film "Kuban Cossacks", where the "fitting" of the bright and original culture of the Kuban Cossacks for Soviet routine is clearly visible. But in the Great Patriotic War, Russia again remembered the Kuban Cossacks - cavalry and plastun units were formed, and this is besides the fact that every sixth of the region volunteered for the front.And the population of the Kuban at that time was at least three million people.
