Today, Russia is facing the Cossacks again, in the new Ukraine formed after the dissolution of the recent Soviet Empire. The only one that the Jews of today seem to talk about! At the same time Germany, under Hindenburg and his Weimar Republic, formed back in the days after the Russian Revolution in 1917, fell into the hands of Adolf Hitler and his Nazi government which led to a 3rd Holocaust, the only one that most Americans are familiar with. This famine led Uncle Joe Stalin to kill 30 million Russians, in his pogroms, to build a strong Russia. With the victory of the Red Army, the Cossack lands were subjected to Decossackization and the man-made famine of 1932вЂ“33 ( Holodomor)' The Cossack troops formed the effective core of the anti-Bolshevik White Army, and Cossack republics became centers for the Anti- Bolshevik White movement. By 1918, Cossacks declared the complete independence of their nations and formed the independent states, the Ukrainian State, the Don Republic, and the Kuban People's Republic. 'During the Russian Civil War, Don and Kuban Cossacks were the first nations to declare open war against the Bolsheviks. Cossack service was considered the most rigorous one'.Дuring the days when Topol was playing his fiddle in the movie, worrying about the upcoming pogrom, the 2nd Holocaust at the outset of the Russian Civil War, which led to the Revolution of 1917, the Cossacks were preparing for this civil war and the succeeding one, the Revolution!

The government provided only firearms and supplies for them. Similar to the knights of medieval Europe in feudal times or the tribal Roman Auxiliaries, the Cossacks came to military service having to obtain charger horses, arms, and supplies at their own expense. 'By the end of the 18th century, Cossack nations had been transformed into a special military estate ( Sosloviye), 'a military class'. They formed an army which held more allegiance to their own history, their own feudal cause, than that of mother Russia!.

The Cossacks had fought against their new government against issues like slavery, and had been punished for their efforts in the name of the little guy.

This movie is concerned with the 2nd!Д«y the 18th century, Cossacks in Russia were used to protect the border during Russia's wars against its neighbors. He was concerned with the Cossack oppression of his people in the early 1900's, and not about the bigger oppression of the Russian Czar, which led to the'10 Days That Shook The World', the 1917 Russian Revolution! The first Holocaust hadВ occurred in the 17th century war that led to the fall of Poland. The Jewish family in the movie may, or may not, have experienced this hate, I didn't watch the movie, but I think that the guy who wrote the script didn't include this bit of history. The Cossacks hated the Jews, back then, for the treatment that they got as serfs. The Sich with its lands became an autonomous region under the Russian-Polish protectorate.' Afterwards, the Treaty of Pereyaslav (1659) brought most of the Ukrainian Cossack state under Russian rule. 'This uprising, which had been preceded by genocide, enslavement, and major depredation of the Ukrainian population, culminated in purging and pogroms against Polish and Jewish communities. The Ukraine, the former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth had fallen into the hands of the Russians in the 17th century, after a revolution led by the Cossacks in response to.oppression of the feudal serfs at the hands of medieval landlords.The Cossacks as a group go back to the 14th and 15th centuries.I got most of this stuff from Wikipedia to support my own recollections of history!

There was a movie on TV today, 'Fiddler On The Roof' about Jewish Ukrainians, at a time when the Cossacks were rebelling against the Bolshevik government of the Russian Czar, who had gotten out of touch with his people.
