A unique study of the ethnographer William Kresson is devoted to the history of the Cossacks. Based on the works of historians, Cossack songs, legends and legends, the author considers the concepts of the emergence of this Russian -speaking sub -ethnic group in the Don and Transnoprian steppes, describes life, culture, and features of service in the Don and border troops. A separate chapter is dedicated to the Zaporizhzhya Sich and her free -loving brotherhood. The author masterfully conveys the history of writing letters to the Turkish Sultan, which served as a plot for the famous picture of I.E. Repin, and gives the letter itself - a bright example of original Cossack creativity. The narrative is complemented by historical portraits of Cossack leaders: conqueror of Siberia Ermak, hetmanov Bogdan Khmelnitsky and Ivan Mazepa, rebel Emelyan Pugachev and heroic chieftain M.I. Platov. Of particular interest are essays on the Cossacks of the Borderlands: Kuban residents, Terzha, Rowlands, Astrakhan, Urals and Orenburgers
