Watch now for a comprehensive overview of Cossack history! In “From Border Guards to Body Guards: The Cossacks in Imperial Russia," Professor Brian Boeck discusses Cossacks as a population dedicated to the service of the Russian empire.

My great grand Father is at the right of her Majesty at 41:48. It was the jubilee of the tsar’s personal convoy. Lt. General Sergei Nikolaevich Fleischer , Ataman of the Tereck Cossacks , the other Chief at his left was the Ataman of the Kuban Cossacks. Great work. Very touching for me to see this.

Cossacs hired the Moscow order, not the Russian one. The lies and contrived names led to the genocidal war between Russia and Ukraine.
Cпасибо, very good listening on Cossacks.
Thanks for watching! www.russianhistorymuseum.org/events/
Interesting.
these pictures of Vrangel 48:38 are taken in Sremski Karlovci, Serbia. we erected amonument to the Black Baron there.
Can you write the name of the paintings and artists who made them in your description please ? Thank you for the interesting lecture once again.
Thank you for this suggestion and comment, Real Salica!
VERY interesting, and I am only a couple of minutes into the lecture. If I understand it correctly, KOSSACK derives from a term that would be translated into AMERICAN English with the word "DRIFTER" or "FRONTIERSMAN." Am I on the right track here?

@08:46 the map shows there is a Black Sea by Sweden AND a Black Sea by Crimea, too.
There was 1 Cossack that pretended to be Ekaterinas husband Peter and had the ppl believe that he was the dead tzar and he was causing problems so when Ekaterina found out she had him tried and killed he was coming to do the same to her he had tried to start a revolution
He was such a fool, he deserved to be shot by the artillery
14 generations of my ancestors known to me were Cossacks. Cossacks are a separate nation.
With regards to the 1917 Bolsheviks revolution & rescuing the Tzar, the Cossacks do what they always do....nothing
My great great grandfather raised calvary horses for the tsar.
My great grandfather was a donskoy cossack but for my shame I don’t know my ancestors who lived before him.
do u know why cossacks choose a turkic word for their nation? Its kind of weird since most cossacks hate turks.
My maternal grandparents were Don Cossacks…. They were proud, made me feel pride in my heritage but after learning of the atrocities they (Cossacks in general) incurred, I don’t speak of my Cossack heritage 🤫😢 My grandparents escaped Russia as the Revolution was beginning to boil.
Pura pínché Cossacks.
Once again I would like to thank the Russian History Museum for another great lecture. I am of Jewish Eastern European ancestry and the closest personal anecdote I have of the Cossacks is my grandma, who came from Western Ukraine, telling me how a Cossack chased her into the barn. Professor Boeck, I would appreciate your comment on the following: During the Russian Civil War, as I have read, the the Cossacks were less concerned with the national fate as they were more focused on their personal Cossack turf. In addition, they plundered so much they held up the rest of the troops. They also killed a lot of Jews. How devoted were they to Russia as a nation? Why did they hate Jews so much?
Thank you for this inquiry, Eleanor! Please see the following link to sign up for our mailing list: www.russianhistorymuseum.org/join-mailing-list/. When you sign up, use the comment box to leave a question that we will then forward to our lecture presenter, Brian Boeck.
My assumption is that Jews were considered well off in Russian society at the time so it made sense to pillage people with wealth (who happened to be Jews) rather than your average serf, who had nothing of value. Other theory is that many of the proponents of communisms and Bolshevism were of Jewish heritage (Lenin, Trotsky etc). Likely generalisations were made about Jews being a threat to the Russian state.
@@publicenemy1212 Lenin was not Jewish. Although there were a number of Jews among the Bolsheviks, very few were and were not a threat to anyone. Most Jews were not people of wealth.
@@eleanorkett1129 Lenin was 1/2 Jewish (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Lenin#Childhood:_1870%E2%80%931887). His father was a convert to Christianity. Regardless, it seems like Jews have been the scapegoat for societal issues in alot of civilizations across time. Maybe it's because it is a unique identity group, being both religiously and racially defined? Or maybe it stems from the ways that Jews have integrated into society, due to the fact that they were frequently barred from traditional trade guilds?
@@manondanon4860 Lenin’s father was a Russian descendent of peasant stock, who worked his way up in life. His maternal grandfather was the convert. Society always scapegoats regardless of the reason.

See the Romanovs paid there servants so yes they would have more liberty’s then the general population for they worked for the monarchy and they paid them out of there own pockets they weren’t paid from tax money for the Romanovs had there own money from there businesses that they owned The tax money went to charities schools and the upkeep of all the state rooms in all there palaces all the other rooms in there palace’s none state rooms were maintained from there own pockets no tax money was spent on jewelry or any luxury’s at all they paid for that with there own money not tax money even there palaces were built with the money from there own pockets not tax money Ekaterina built the Ekaterina palace with her own money not tax money and Ekaterina wanted to free the surfs she said she couldn’t since she didn’t have the man power to hold them back she new that she would be killed so she didn’t do it and she said the monarchy it’s self can not build Russia it has to be built on the backs of slave labor
They’re, their, there. Learn them
Why did you pass over the pogroms against the Jews? This was a very important cause of immigration to the new world and a massive injection of talent and ambition for the U.S.
You are lying. The imperial family never ordered such an event. This was done on small scales by independent groups. There were Jewish officers in the Tsar’s army.
Undergrads are the worst.
Thank you for watching, Aggro Alex!
Казаки стали называться от Казар.
God bless you for your efforts and may America and Russia become One, under the ROC!
No thanks. We don’t have, or need a State religion in the US. We welcome all religions, or none if you choose. This is why the U.S. has been the light of the world for over 200 years and Russia is, well we can all see what Russia is. Which is a shame because Americans love and respect the Russian people. We just wish they would rise up and get rid of these petty dictators they keep getting stuck with.
@@matthewgabbard6415 and you think America doesn’t have petty dictators? Lmao. Be honest with yourself. State religion is better for the country than no religion whatsoever!
