Conflict inside the Baltic Union of Cossacks

The Baltic Union of Cossacks was organized in 1992 and has been operating in the Baltic, in the Kaliningrad region. Later, in 1998, within the framework of the policy of new disclosures, the Cossacks of the Baltic Cossack Union were misled, and created the Baltic Registered Separate Cossack District (BOKO), which is not related to the organization created as a result of racketeering "ataman" Danilevsky in 2008, and now headed by M.A. Bugoy. After an unsuccessful registry experience, national-minded Cossacks reanimated the BSC and resumed participation in the activities of the Union of Cossacks of Russia.

But the remnants of the "revival of the Cossacks" gave a lot of problems. It all ended in a coup attempt by Ataman Artur Yurchenko."against original Cossack traditions. In the meantime, at the moment Yurchenko is supported only by two people who later turned away from him as well. Moreover, the Cossacks learned that Yurchenko was negotiating to switch to the registered BOCO. "The Cossacks of the community calling itself the “Baltic Union of Cossacks” would not obey him. We are a diaspora of ethnic Cossacks in the Baltic. For us, the main thing is the customs of our people. Not those who invented the gentlemen or their spiritual heir of the Kaliningrad regional significance Yurchenko, but those that our ancestors observed. The Baltic Cossack Union will continue to exist in the form of a Cossack national community. ”
