	Cossack - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		In the 15th century, the Cossack society was described as a loose federation of independent communities, often forming local armies, entirely separate from the neighboring states (of, e.g, Poland, Grand Duchy of Moscow or the Khanate of Crimea).
		Cossacks for their part were mostly happy to plunder everybody more or less equally, although in the 16th century, with the dominance of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth extending south, the Zaporozhian Cossacks were mostly, if tentatively, regarded by the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth as their subjects.
		Cossack ambitions to be recognized as equal to szlachta were constantly rebuffed, and plans for transforming the Two-Nations Commonwealth (Polish-Lithuanian) into Three Nations (with the Cossack and Ruthenian people) were limited to a small minority.

	Cossack
		Don Cossacks were one of the main military forces resisting the Bolsheviks.
		Cossacks readily adapted the cultures and customs of nearby peoples (particularly the Terek Cossacks, who were heavily influenced by the culture of North Caucasian tribes), and they frequently married local residents (other non-Cossack settlers and natives) regardless of race or origin, and sometimes setting aside religious restrictions.
		The Cossack sense of being a separate and elite community gave them a strong sense of loyalty to the Tsarist government and Cossack units were frequently used to suppress domestic disorder, especially during the wide spread worker and peasant unrest of 1905-06.
