Hence, during the Second World War, Cossacks fought both for the Red Army and against them with the German Wehrmacht. The decossackization is frequently described as genocide of the Cossacks. The Kuban Cossacks suffered heavily during the Soviet policy of decossackization, which between 19 aimed at the elimination of the Cossacks as a separate ethnic, political, and economic entity. During the Russian Civil War, the Kuban Cossacks proclaimed the Kuban People's Republic, and played a key role in the southern theatre of the conflict. The Kuban Cossack Host (Кубанское казачье войско), the administrative and military unit composed of Kuban Cossacks, formed in 1860 and existed until 1918. The eastern and southeastern part of the host was previously administered by the Khopyour and Kuban regiments of the Caucasus Line Cossack Host and Don Cossacks, who were re-settled from the Don from 1777. The western part of the host ( Taman Peninsula and adjoining region to the northeast) was settled by the Black Sea Cossack Host who were originally the Zaporozhian Cossacks of Ukraine, from 1792. Most of the Kuban Cossacks are descendants of different major groups of Cossacks who were re-settled to the western Northern Caucasus in the late 18th century (estimated 230,000 to 650,000 initial migrants). More details are available at Buffalo Chip.Kuban Cossacks ( Russian: кубанские казаки, kubanskiye kаzaki Ukrainian: кубанські козаки, kubans'ki kozaky), or Kubanians ( Russian: кубанцы, kubantsy Ukrainian: кубанці, kubantsi), are Cossacks who live in the Kuban region of Russia. The famed “Wall of Fire” stunt will be performed at 7:00 p.m. 6 at the free-access CrossRoads at the Buffalo Chip. The Seattle Cossacks will perform their show three times each day Tuesday, Aug. Many members have devoted more than 30 years to the organization. Prospective team members must be sponsored and strict attendance at all practice sessions are mandatory. They chose the Cossack name and uniform as a reminder of the traditional Russian horse masters of the same name. It grew into a formal organization of masterful trick riders. The troupe was born of tradition, started in the ‘30s by a group of young racers looking for excitement to entertain themselves between events. Their performances will inspire awe and a sense of pride in all who consider themselves a biker.”
SEATTLE COSSACKS PROFESSIONAL
“These guys are the most professional group of trick riders I have ever seen. “ The Seattle Cossacks represent all that is great about motorcycling,” said Rod Woodruff, president of the Sturgis Buffalo Chip. The finely polished vintage Harley’s upon which they perform their amazing acrobatics are carefully painted to match their uniforms. In sharp contrast to the typical road weary biker, the team of motorcycle acrobats wear crisply pressed matching white and maroon uniforms reminiscent of their historic Russian namesakes. The Seattle Cossacks are well known for their daring stunts, balancing man upon man in impossible configurations all while riding vintage motorcycles. The beauty of the Seattle Cossacks performing precisely engineered aerobics atop magnificent two-wheeled machines will bring an air of grace and incredible excitement to the Sturgis Buffalo Chip’s CrossRoads this August.
