The dance of the Cossacks

We present a video of dance and dance from the town of Los Cossacks, which is a millenary nomadic and fierce ethnic group who are now famous throughout the world for virtue of their dance, full of color, romanticism, strength, temperament and acrobatic jumps.

We commented that the Cossacks were known for their military prowess and its origin of name possibly comes from the Turkic word quzzaq, which means "adventurer", "free man". In socio-political terms, from the XNUMXth century to the present day, the Cossack community has an internal administrative structure that is considered to be primitive: democratic and federal.

Regarding religion, Cossacks are Catholic and Muslim in Russia, while in Ukraine and Kazakhstan, most Cossacks belong to the Russian Orthodox Church. And the relationship between the Cossacks and the Orthodox is very deep, has a long history, because historically and traditionally the Cossacks are Orthodox Christians, considered as protectors and guardians of the Church.
