 | | Russia claims oil as part of old Soviet deals and tries to manipulate local politics to their advantage and keep Azerbaijan from solidifying ties to Turkey and Iran. | | | Russia has historically justified interference in nearby countries affairs in the name of its own national security and its desire to achieve a warm water port for its navy and access to shipping lanes. | | | Russia’s expansion had brought a large number of nationalities under their control. |

| | The Don - Horse and Pony Breeds on Equiworld - Online Equestrian Information |
| | The Don Cossacks mounted on their formidable Dons contributed enormously to the destruction of Napoleon’s multinational invasion of Russia. | | | It is quite possible that Tarpans left their mark on the Don. | | | Cossacks left behind in France not only martial reminiscences, but also some linguistic artifacts — the French word Bistro comes from the Russian bystro (quickly) reportedly cried out by Cossacks, those no-nonsense tough warriors, in Paris when they stormed into a local “watering hole” requiring drinks. |

| | Orange Ukraine - Journal of Ukrainian Current Events - Can't Go Any Lower Without a Shovel |
| | As I said before, Cossackness as an ethnicity seems more viable in Russia than in Ukraine, since in Russia there are specific Cossack regions, whereas in Ukraine lots of (most?) people could realistically claim to be descendents of Cossacks. | | | It's a surreal scene: a Jewish reporter being introduced to the head of the Don Cossacks by the chairman of the local Jewish community. | | | The museum's senior curator, Margarita Sokolova, says foreign Jews mistakenly lump all Cossacks together, when in fact it was the Ukrainian Cossacks, not those along the Don River, who persecuted Jews. |
