Cossacks art

For battle, it makes perfect sense that the Cossacks had their own fighting style, known as Hopak. Using expert dance-like skills to improve their combat techniques, the Cossack art is exceptional with its movements that shift rapidly from crouching positions to acrobatics, says Fightland. Combat hopak also utilizes punches, kicks, throws, and grappling as well.AdvertisementUnfortunately, much of what was once known about the Cossack martial art was lost after centuries of cultural repression under the domination of the Russians. On the other hand, the Cossacks cleverly hid their combat moves in the more acceptable dance version of Hopak, so martial arts experts have had much success reviving the old martial art since the mid-1980s. For a people struggling to preserve their identity, the resurrection of Hopak has been a major cultural victory for the Ukrainians who see themselves as the descendants of the Cossack warriors. Early Cossacks also fought for Poland The Cossacks are often known as independent warriors fighting for their liberty, or as a formidable part of the Russian army. But even though the lethal horsemen allied with Moscow, they also fought against it as part of the Polish forces in the early 17th century. The Cossacks were a key part to Poland's victory over the Turks at the Battle of Khotyn in 1621.AdvertisementYet, just as the Russians did years later, the Poles refused to accept the Cossacks merely as allies and made several unsuccessful attempts to subjugate them. In the words of a contemporary Polish aristocrat, "The Cossacks are the fingernails of our body politic. They tend to grow too long and need frequent clipping" (via "The History of Ukraine").During their last and greatest revolt against Poland, the Cossacks had much success but were still unable to overcome the forces of their more powerful enemy. In desperation, the legendary hetman of the war, Bohdan Khmelnytsky, turned to the Russians for support, which ended up being a massive mistake. In January 1654, Khmelnytsky pledged his obedience and from then on, the czars had claimed to be the rulers of both Russia and Ukraine.Advertisement Napoleon was impressed by the Cossacks' fighting skills In 1812, Napoleon Bonaparte was at the height of his power as he ruled over the French Empire that dominated much of Europe. From this impressive position, the general made the disastrous decision to invade Russia with a gargantuan army that reached as high as 612,000 men.AdvertisementAccording to Stephen Summerfield in "Cossack Hurrah! Russian Irregular Cavalry Organization and Uniforms During the Napoleonic War," the Imperial Russian Army that opposed the invaders included 107 Cossack horse regiments and 2 and a half Cossack artillery companies. Overall, most accounts of the conflict spoke of the Cossacks in admiration of

Brigades and corps. >> Picture: Cossacks in early spring 1813, by Wojciech Kossak.On the ground are corpses of French soldiers and horses.. . "The Cossack fears horsemen of no nation, except the Turks.For the Polish lancers he has admiration, because these were capable to fight in closed, as well as in open order,and because he had to cope with them almost all the time during the latest war.The French, as long as they possessed cavalry, held back their own in closed order and sent forward the Polish forlight duties. The German and French light cavalry are notfeared by the Cossack. He will not stand and oppose theirformed attacks, and in open order he will surpass them inmanoeuvrability." - Austrian officer A. Prokesch‘Ueber den Kosaken, und dessen Brauchbarkeit im Felde’Introduction: History, Weapons, Deployment.In 1648 the Russian Cossack Simeon Dezhnev opened a passage between America and Asia.Picture: Cossacks writing incredibly insulting reply to Turkish Sultan's demand for surrender (1675). They laugh their socks off over each word. Picture by Repin."Thou Turkish Satan, ...Greetings !What the hell kind of noble knight art thou ? ... Thou beer-brewer of Jerusalem, thou goat-flayer of Alexandria,thou swineherd of Egypt, both the Greater and the Lesser,thou sow of Armenia, thou goat of Tartary ...a blockhead, a swine's snout, a mare's ___, a butcher's cur, an unbaptized brow, May the Devil take thee! That is what the Cossacks have to say to thee, thou basest-born of runts ! Unfit art thou to lord it over true Christians !The date we write not for no calendar have we got; the moon is in the sky, the year is in a book, and the day is the same with us here as with thee over there, and thou canst kiss us thou knowest where !The name Cossack is derived from the Turkic word quzzaq and mean simply "adventurer" and "freeman". This name has been shared by several groups throughout the history of Europe and Asia. The most prominent and numerous are the Russian Cossacks of the Don, Ural and Siberia regions. Also famous were the Ukrainian Cossacks who lived on the southern steppes of modern Ukraine. They grew astronomically during the 15th-17th centuries due to numerous runway peasants from Russia and Poland respectively. Cossacks paid no taxes and enjoyed a large measure of autonomy in the management of their communal affairs.Janet Hartley writes: "Cossacks are not a separate ethnic group

At Libava. The relentless pursuit by the light cavalry and Cossacks, the winter and the tsar's and people's determination resulted in a truly disastrous defeat on Napoleon. The Grand Army ceased to be grand, it even ceased to be an army. Fewer than 100,000 of the 500 000 that Napoleon had used for the invasion returned west. "Never get into a skirmish with Cossacks" - was the Poles' advice. However a formal charge sent them flying."In 1814 near St.Dizier the Mamelukes of the Guard"took a crack at some Cossacks whom 'they sabered in their accustomed style."- General Lefebvre-DesnouettesIn 1812 the Cossacks were evrywhere. Henri Lachoque writes: "At Katyn the Poles had great difficulty getting rid of several hundred scouting in front of a mass of Russian cavalry. Lahy ! Lahy ! [Poles in old Russian slang] the Russians cried, firing off their carbines at some distance from the leading squadron to provoke the Guard Lancers. 'Never get into a skirmish with Cossacks' was the Poles' advice. However a formal charge sent them flying."When during the pursuit of Cossacks one of the Polish Guard Lancers lost his headwear, officer Jerzmanowski ordered him to go back and retrieve it to prevent the enemy from claiming any trophy taken from this regiment. It was very unusual since many troops panicked before Cossacks and abandoned not only their baggage and weapons but also their wounded comrades. "Nearing Bouikhovo after nearly 3 hours' ride, Calkoen's squadron [of Red Lancers] were advancing a few hundred yards ahead of the Poles when Ltn. Doyen led his point troop up a hillock. They were immediately attacked from all sides by the Cossacks. Ltn. van Omphal's troops were at once sent to help them disengage, but were outflanked in their turn. The Red Lancers fell back towards the Polish squadron, who had halted and taken up battle formation. Under this cover the Dutch Lancers regrouped and charged the Cossacks again ..." (Ronald Pawly - "The Red Lancers")In 1812 at Famonskoie the Cossacks ambushed and captured a whole detachment of the Red Lancers. General Colbert mounted his horse and set off with 2 squadrons in pursuit, but the Cossacks made off with their prisoners so quickly that all that could be seen were their hoof prints in the mud.At Smolensk Chlapowski had another encounter with the Cossacks: "From the Emperor's tent we could see all of Smolensk ... There were
