Я вам вот что скажу: казаки, не только Таманская дивизия, а все казачье войско, все начали собирать на своей территории одежду, еду, простыни, подушки и все необходимое".

| QUOTE | The out-of-town volunteer force — with its tangles of recharging laptops and smartphones — offered a contrast with the Cossacks, the fearsome horsemen who traditionally supported the czars. Cossacks, Colonel Bezugly said, “have always defended Russia when she found herself on the edge of the abyss, as in 1917, when the red-bellied Bolsheviks took power.”
Lately, the region’s Cossacks have focused on local matters, like enforcing curfews and driving out a local population of Meskhetian Turks. Before dawn on Saturday, Col. Bezugly was able to muster 1,000 rescue workers in 90 minutes, an effort that has now shifted to providing aid. One flood victim, he said, had asked the Cossacks for a clean T-shirt and underpants.
“We are warriors, we fight and defend the fatherland, but why not help a person if he appeals to us?” he said. “I’ll tell you what: Cossacks, not just the Taman division but the entire Kuban Cossack army, began to gather on their territory clothing, food, blankets, pillows and everything that is needed.” |
