Parade of Kuban Cossack Host
Yesterday a grand parade was held in Kuban, in honor of the 27th anniversary of the adoption of the law "About Rehabilitation of Persecuted People," in which the Cossacks from different regions of Russia came. A parade of drummers opens the parade, and this is the pride of Kuban Cossack's army, the cavalry group of the Honorary Guards, who participated in the Victory Warning on the Red Square.
For Cossacks, the anniversary of the adoption of the law "About the Rehabilitation of the Persecuted People" is the memory of the tragic events in Kuban, when their ancestors were shot and brutally destroyed by the Soviet government's decision.
Such a parade is held in Krasnodar every year, which has now become twenty-seven in a row. I managed to pick a good spot on the podium and take pictures of the most exciting moments. Look at some of them.These Cossacks are marching to the main pulpit, where the regional governors, representatives, representatives, and representatives of the Kuban power department, as well as the veterans are.
For some special places the audience is provided. I do not expect that will be very crowded, delegates from other republics, representatives of Vietnam and the Czech Republic attended. Someone came from the former Soviet republics to congratulate their brothers in the spirit of this important event.
The Cossacks showed all their temperaments, jumped on horses, marched with banners. The atmosphere of everyone is festive.
During the parade, the orchestra is played, the bells ring, to commemorate the dead Cossacks.
They brought relics and honorable regalia, presented to Kuban Cossack for centuries of its existence.
Among the unforgettable legacy are icons, and maces of famous tunes and other historical values. During the serious removal of all as one takes off their papakhas and kubanks. However, how to decorate a man with a uniform headdress.
Cossacks from the famous Kuban Cossack choir took part in the parade. This collective has become an integral part of the army. In 2010, he founded a Cossack farming community, and ataman was elected as artistic director of ensemble Viktor Zakharchenko.
Each army unit has its own original form. Kuban Cossack Choir learns simply, they are white Circadians cut low on the chest, opening tunics and white hats (heights not exceeding 22 cm, those with black top) to stand out from the brave Cossack's edge. In addition, they also have beautiful woolen caps under the color of their fur hats.
Before the solemn speech of the head of the Cossacks troops, everyone who participated in the marches marched on Theater Square of Krasnodar. Among them are sergeants, sergeants and secretaries, and only Cossacks. I almost learned to understand chevrons, cockades, papakhs and other badges.
Under the hood they are visible (hood with long round blades at the end). Not every day like that you will meet. Their cossacks are always worn, regardless of the weather, and stitched from the fabric folded twice in gray or almost white (sometimes from red, intended only for parades and holidays).
In ancient times, Kuban Cossack wore hats for hats, and not directly on their heads; however, today there are some who already use them for their intended purpose; they are ornaments for uniforms.
By the way this headdress is tied up, people can even know the age. If he is tied to his chest, it means that the Cossacks have served the military service, but the edges pass across his chest showing that their owners are still on it. But if the bashlyk is worn, as in the photo with the tip being thrown back, it means that the Cossacks are on vacation.
There are more than 10,000 people gathered there, so many Cossacks and I have never seen,although parades are held every year. And their horses attract the attention of everyone, both children and adults.
I note also Circassians, Adygs, Don Cossack and representatives of Sukhumi. Of course, many are tired, as we know, they are on their way from 5 pm. Initially, the celebration took place at the Alexander Nevsky Military Council, and they recall the 100th anniversary of the death of General Laurus Kornilov, who died in our town during his assault.
Each unit is personally greeted by the Army of Kuban Cossack Nikolai Dolud. I really like the words of his wisdom that need not be proven today that the Cossacks are natives of Kuban, to the stability and prosperity in which further development and prosperity in this region depends.
It's interesting to take a peek at Cossack's faces, to check on their clothes, awards, weapons. parade arrivals and elite units, Airborne Regiment Airborne Division airmen and military anti-aircraft missile brigade from the village of Afipsky Krasnodar region.
Many come to the parade of cadets and Kropotkin, Kurganinsk, Yeisk, Temryuk Timashevsk (in this city is the edge of a young cadet school, it opened its doors only on September 1 last year), Novorossiysk, because they all measured speed ...
