Some of the most colourful celebrations to be seen during the festive season are in the Cossack settlements in Russia’s southern regions, where a mixture of local and Ukrainian traditions blend with spectacular results.
This article contains absolute 0% of historical and cultural truth. Kuban Cossaks were the last generation of the Ukrainian warriors after their main multi-centennial headquarters in Zaporizzhia were demolished on orders from Katherine II.

If I ever met these undereducated graphomaniacs, that proclaim to be able to actually write, I would advise them to actually read up on the subject, they're deceiving the nation about.
