NOT ALL OF COSSACKS ARE ORTHODOX; SOME ARE MUSLIMS AND OTHERS BUDDHISTS BY PAUL GOBLE

Staunton, October 16 – There are few stereotypes more widely shared in Russia and the West than those about the Cossacks who are almost always viewed as being not only firm defenders of the Russian state but of Russian Orthodoxy as well. But such images are incomplete and thus inaccurate.

THE COSSACK WOMEN

 

Den Kazachke

 

It is odd that when we talk about the Cossacks, very little, or rather, almost nothing is said of the Cossack Mothers. The Cossack females have been the long image of the Cossack life, entrusted the primary responsibility for the well being of the Cossack family.

Often, Cossack history speaks of the courageous, and fearless Cossacks, however, it would be important to note that the Cosack Ethnicity would not be possible without the Cossack women.

г.Честер США 25 октября 2010

Отдельнoe определение.
Казачьего круга Конгресса Казаков в Америке по вопросу самозванцев и лиц, дискредитирующих казачество в Америке.

16 октября 2010 года в городе Честер, США состоялся всеамериканский Казачий Круг.

На собрании присутствовали представители Кубанского Казачьего войска за рубежом, Всевеликого Войска Донского, Терского Казачьего Войска, Семиреченского Казачьего Войска. Поддержку и одобрение решения o проведении Круга выразили Верное Казачество (Украина), Московская Община Терских Казаков, Кубанское Войско (Краснодар), Лейб-Казаки Франции, Международный Союз Казачьих Объединений (Германия), Атаман Донских Казаков зарубежом Ярополк Михеев, Атаман Кубанских Казаков зарубежом Александр Певнев, Сибирское Казачье войско, Кизлярский Отдельный Пограничный Округ, Астраханское Казачье Войско.

kongress 05

На Круге, собравшем представителей казачества американскогo континента, был принят ряд важных решений.

Отдельным определением Казачьего Круга было высказано отношение ко всякого рода самозванцам и лицам, дискредитирующим казачество в Америке, вносящим ссоры и смуты, оскорбления и ложь, как в отношении казаков, других граждан, так и духовенства Русской Православной Церкви и других концессий.

Речь идет о Цапенко С.В., именующим себя графом, казачьим генералом, атаманом казаков Южной и Северной Америк и Канады, действующим генерал-лейтенантом Вооруженых Сил России (см. Приложение 1), сотрудником ООН, Госдепартамента США, Посольства России, приписывающим себе многие научные, технические, художественные заслуги, достижения и звания.

kongress 03

Приказом Верховного Атамана СКВРиЗ казачьего генерала Водолацкого В.П. за № 101от 8 мая 2007 года Цапенко С.В. “отстранен от занимаемых должностей” и лишен “чина казачьего генерала” (см. Приложения 2, 3)

Самo по себе проведение и любые решения так называемой «Великой Покровской Рады» по избранию Цапенко С.В. «Атаманом казаков Америки и Канады», имевшей место19 октября 2008 года, в г. Филадельфия, штат Пенсильвания (США) — ничтожны, так как не имеют юридической и правовой силы. На вышеуказанном мероприятии отсутствовали официальные представители Кубанского Казачьего войска за рубежом, Всевеликого Войска Донского и Терского Казачьего Войска.

kongress 01

Доводим до Вашего сведения, что Цапенко С.В. не имеет легитимного права представлять казачество Америки, осуществлять любую иную деятельность от имени казачества, официально использовать в любом виде казачьи чины, форму и атрибутику.

В этой связи, Конгресс Казаков в Америке направил официальные уведомления о принятых на Круге решениях в Консулат России в Нью-Йорке, Архиепископу Наро-Фоминскому Юстиниану (РПЦ), OOH и Госдепартамент США.
