Don’s Cadets
The origin of the word "Cossack" remains unclear to this
day.The word В was first mentioned in 1471 in the
Grebenskaya Chronicles. It used to refer to the Christians of the
upper reaches of the Don. These people are known to have
welcomed Grand Duke Dmitry Donskoy with icons, banners
and gonfalons.
Tatistchev, the celebrated historian, writes that the Don
Cossacks are descendants of the Dnieper and Mestchera
Cossacks who were permitted to settle along the Don by the
decree of Ivan the Terrible. Tatistchev's contemporary
A.I.Riegelman notes that, according to Byzantine emperor
Constantine Bagry- anorodny, the Cossacks as a community
came into being around 948 A.D. and may have been named
after Kazak, the conqueror of the Tatars. Kazak's own warriors
were called "Cossacks". Historian Bykadorov, the author of
"The History of the Cossacks" is of the opinion that the Don
Cossacks come from the Tmutarakan principality of Kazakiya.
According to some scholars, the word "Cossack" is
of Turkic origin and means "lonely", "without home or
family". These people used to make up the vanguard
of the Tatar hordes. Others insist that it is made up of
the Mongol word "со" (meaning "armour, defence")
and "zakh" (boundary, frontier). It thus appears that
the word "Cossack" means "a defender of frontiers".
Another group of historians believe that the Cossacks
were named after the Khazars, the population of
Scythia. However, none of these interpretations can
be taken as the only correct one.
Tales were passed from one generation to another
of the valour of the Cossack warriors, of the glorious
campaigns under the command of no less a person
than A.V. Suvorov, of Cossack Obukhov, Suvorov's
special favourite, and of Matvey Platov, the
outstanding politician, commander, hero of the war of
1812.
The main goal of this institution is the raising of a
generation of young men capable of defending their
Motherland and of efficiently serving their people.
How can one acquire such qualities of worthy citizen
and warrior as unfailing loyalty and the striving to give
ones all in the service of one’s country, the qualities
that constitute the honour and the dignity of a cadet?
It would seem that nothing is easier - you don your
uniform and that's all there is to do. However, tee is so
much more involved than that. A young officer should
be a thoroughly educated person. Optional help to
provide just this kind of education. Much earlier than
their coevals elsewhere the cadets develop a sense of
self-confidence and prove capable of taking
reasonable and firm decisions. A military school is a
school of life. It raises a generation of statesmen that
Russia needs now ever. It would be no exaggeration
to say that only the revival of tradition and of military
ensure the revival of the flourishing of Russia.
A military school is an educational establishment
constituting an elementary stage in the training of boy
for service as officers. The word "cadet" means
"young". Originally, in the family of Russian nobles, it
applied to the masters who were trained for service in
an upper military rank.
What sets a military the central figure is not a
teacher but a tutor-officer. The two other distinctive
features are the more or less pronounced focus on the
military aspect of a cadet's life and the specific
structure of everyday activity in all the subdivisions of
the military school. Ever new military schools emerge
across the country every year. They not only train
cadets for military service, but provide to them
education and an upbringing worthy of an officers
rank.
