The law of the RSFSR "On the rehabilitation of repressed peoples" was adopted on April 26, 1991. This day is of particular importance for the Kuban Cossacks, because they have the opportunity to return to their way of life, with its traditions and culture. Cossacks are an integral part of our society, they are always at the forefront, in the service of the state. Even now, in difficult conditions, the Cossacks remain at their posts - at the state borders, as part of mobile detachments, together with representatives of law and order, they monitor security and compliance with quarantine measures. Today, the Kuban Cossack army of the Starominsk region has 670 people. 18 people are serving.
The system of Cossack education of the district includes 2 schools and a kindergarten, as well as 9 classes and groups of Cossack orientation with a total number of more than 300 people. The ataman of the district Cossack society is the military foreman Vladimir Vasilyevich Gorb. - On the eve of our main holiday, I wish everyone a peaceful sky, health and strengthening of primordial traditions. Let's not forget the main thing - the strength of every nation is in unity! Confessor of the Starominsk Cossacks Father Alexander sincerely wished all the Cossacks of the region: Remember your history and draw the right conclusions. A Cossack without faith is not a Cossack, this must be adhered to. The ataman of the village Cossack society, Nikolai Nikolaevich Kostenko, told what he had to start with at first: – Cossacks for me is life. When the law on our rehabilitation came out, they immediately began to act in the direction of restoring everything that had been lost during the years of Soviet power. It was very hard at times. Many did not understand why this was necessary, they called it “mummers”. The whole way of life, all the traditions of the people were destroyed and eradicated over the years. Our task is to revive and pass on to children the traditions, lifestyle and spiritual values of the Kuban Cossacks. So that our children honor their parents, protect their Motherland and love their Motherland. The Chief of Staff Igor Alexandrovich Kalinin spoke in more detail about the activities of the Cossack society. - For thirty years of active work on the restoration of the Cossacks, a lot has been done, and even more remains to be done. In recent years, many difficulties have arisen, not all plans have been implemented, although we have made a big breakthrough and achievements in the education of young people. Two schools with Cossack education have appeared in the district, I would like more, but so far it is not always possible to achieve the approval of parents, although, if we talk about children, they are willing to meet and attend training camps and competitions with pleasure, there are many interested young people and in military-patriotic clubs. The Union of Cossack Youth has been created in the region, we have organized a branch of the Union on the basis of Cossack schools, classes and groups of Cossack orientation. There are more than 500 of them in total. - What exactly are you trying to recover? - First of all, to restore the patriotism of young people, which is not in the word itself, but in concrete deeds. Such as volunteering, helping and supporting loved ones, restoring spiritual values and family life. Men have become more passive than women - this is not right. Before, in Cossack families, the way of life and way of life was clearly spelled out by time. The woman was the guardian of the house and family, the entire household lay on her shoulders, and it was not worth it for her to wave a saber on the battlefield. A woman must be loved, protected and carried in her arms, but a man is a protector, he must defend the honor, the Fatherland and be the main support and breadwinner, the core of the family. The Cossack, by his Orthodox faith and conviction, is first of all a master on earth. It is these moral guidelines that I want to restore and instill in young people. - What are the main tasks of the Cossacks these days? - Now it is important to work with the provision of humanitarian aid. We provided first aid to children and women who were evacuated from the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. Funds were allocated by the district Cossack society, they were used to purchase goods for refugees. Help was sent to Rostov-on-Don. Now an action of humanitarian aid is being organized for our troops involved in a special operation. Schools and military-patriotic clubs have collected everything the soldiers need. The guys wrote letters to soldiers in military hospitals and in the war zone. Warm words of children will be a good spiritual support for them.
