And when we come to repentance,
Then we will save Russia!

Computer design - a member of the board of the VKO "TsKV" military foreman S.A. Tkachenko.

The TsKV is a unique army. And in terms of their composition, and in terms of the level of tasks that the state sets before us, we should not forget about the historical mission of the Cossacks to be in the sovereign's service. As for the composition, the Don peoples, and the Cossacks of the Kuban army, and the Terts, and many others, those who, by the will of fate, ended up far from their ancestral villages, join the TsKV. The Cossacks are a service people, and it is the Central Committee of the Conservatory that today can provide them with the opportunity for a legal, lawful, civil service corresponding to the traditions of the Cossacks.

More than two years have passed since I took office. These years were quite tense for the Central Cossack Army. Much had to be rebuilt, much done for the first time. Now we can already talk about the concrete results of our work during this time. Briefly assessing them, the VKO TsKV has become to a much greater extent an army than it was before.

The Central Cossack army, as a registered Cossack society, solves two main tasks: the first and main one is the organization and carrying of troops by the Cossacks various kinds public service, and the second - the patriotic education of young people on the example of glorious Cossack traditions and Cossack history.

Service for a real Cossack is the meaning of his life. It can be considered the main Cossack tradition. And I, as a military man, can say that the service of any military unit consists of two fundamental points - from the personnel of the unit, in this case, the Cossacks themselves and the control system, in other words, staff work. Let me briefly list what we have done in these areas.

First of all, drill reviews were held in all districts and departments of the East Kazakhstan Military District. This made it possible to obtain accurate data on the registration of the Cossack troops, assess their readiness for service, the state of their Cossack uniforms, communicate with the Cossacks, answer their questions, and learn more about their life.

At the same time, the issue of creating new and effective structures was decided - the Board and the headquarters of the Central Cossack Army. In this case, the personnel were selected very carefully - they are mainly regular reserve officers with the rank of no lower than lieutenant colonel. Now the Board and the headquarters of the troops are located in a small but convenient building practically in the center of Moscow, on Prospekt Mira, house 49a. Established communication with all departments of the army. Samples of combined-arms office documents have been developed. Established the rules of staff document flow. For the first time in the history of the army, methodological exercises began with the chiefs of staff of all districts and departments of the army.

Please excuse me for official turns of speech, but you can’t say otherwise here - it is this part of our service that must be the most strict in order to ensure the accuracy and timeliness of the passage of orders and instructions.

The next major achievement was the creation of the Specialized People's Cossack Squad and the private security organization "Cossack Guard" under the army. Thus, the leadership and the Cossacks of the troops moved from endless talk about public service to its direct execution.

So far, this has been implemented only in Moscow, the Moscow Region and Kaluga. The Moscow Cossack squad now has 224 Cossacks. For the training of Cossack combatants, the Moscow Government allocated sports and lecture halls, classes are held. Cossack foot and horse patrols protect public order in the nine largest parks of the capital. Also, the Cossack squad complements the law enforcement forces during major public events in Moscow, for example, church services with the participation of His Holiness Patriarch Kirill, processions, rallies, city holidays.

The Cossack people's squad of the Moscow region has about 200 Cossacks. Their service is most effectively organized in the Domodedovo, Mytishchi, Podolsk, Stupino, Leninsky (Vidnoe) and Zvenigorod regions.

The military private security organization (ChOO) "Cossack Guard" is expanding its activities. Now its employees are successfully guarding the complex of buildings of the First Cossack University - MSUTU. K.G. Razumovsky, as well as all district courts of the city of Moscow. In Kaluga, employees of the organization guard the administration building. Branches of the private public organization "Cossack Guard" are being created in other subjects of the Central federal district. We held five practical training seminars for combatants to teach and consolidate the necessary knowledge and applied skills in the implementation of activities to protect public order, ensure security during public and mass events.

I will say with great satisfaction that the Cossacks have achieved good results in this direction, and the feedback received from citizens and state structures on our service speaks of its necessity and high quality. This means that our first experience is successful and the Cossack service will successfully develop within the boundaries of the entire Central Federal District.

We pay great attention to work with youth. Many interesting and important events are held in the army and with its participation. I will list only the largest sports and military-patriotic ones: the qualifying stage of the All-Russian gathering of Cossack youth “Be ready for work and defense!”, the district stage of the All-Russian Spartakiad of pre-conscription Cossack youth, summer children's camps for children of Cossacks, the qualifying stage of the military-patriotic game “Cossack flash ”, winter children's camps for children of the Cossacks.

As for the general military events - if we are already talking about this - then, among other things, I want to note the holding of a commemorative action of the Cossacks' feat in November 1941 (97 km. Volokolamsk highway), as well as a creative project (a cycle of events of Cossack culture).

We are very proud that with the participation of the Central Cossack Army in Lytkarino near Moscow, the first ever World Championship in horse riding was held. It was the summer of 2016, Russian athletes won, which is doubly pleasant.

I consider the established successful interaction with state authorities a necessary condition for the development of any Cossack society, especially for those included in the register. How can the public service be organized if there is no such interaction?

Therefore, the Board of the army and the atamans of the districts and departments are continuously working to establish and develop ties between the Cossacks and representatives of state power. Conducted successfully.

I can say that in each regional administration on the territory of the Central Federal District, working groups on Cossack affairs have been created and are effectively operating. Each such group must include the deputy governor (or his representative), the chief federal inspector and the ataman of the district (department) of the East Kazakhstan Defense Committee of the Central Committee. The work of these groups cannot be overestimated.

But this is the situation in the regional centers. In the outback, the situation is more complicated, it is more difficult to establish cooperation between the chieftains of Cossack farms and villages and the leaders of municipalities. Often, both sides of the dialogue do not know their rights and obligations, do not own legal documentation on Cossack topics, and, as a result, cannot determine the order of interaction. The Board of the Central Cossack Army is currently developing guidelines to help chieftains in such cases.

In conclusion, I would like to add this. All Cossacks are united by the Orthodox faith, Cossack traditions, love for their land, their family, Fatherland and readiness to defend them. The EKR CKV closely communicates and cooperates with many "non-registered" Cossack societies, which are located on the territory of the Central Federal District.

As I said, for the Cossacks of the Central Cossack Army, the main goals are the sovereign's service and the education of youth. Therefore, we always accept or offer cooperation with other Cossack communities if it contributes to these goals. And after a successful service, the Cossacks can always sing Cossack songs together, dance or arrange a valiant fun.

Thank God that we are Cossacks!

The formation of the Central Cossack Army (CKV) began in 1994. The TsKV is the youngest Cossack army in Russia.

The charter of the Central Committee of the Conservation Commission was approved by the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of May 03, 2007 No. 574. On October 05, 2010, the Minister of Justice of the Russian Federation entered the Central Committee of the Russian Federation into the State Register of Cossack Societies of the Russian Federation.

By the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of December 23, 2010, Nalimov Valery Ivanovich was appointed Ataman of the Central Control Commission, and Archpriest Elefery Kolodezny was appointed the military priest of the Central Control Commission.

The Central Cossack Army carries out its activities on the territory of the central federal district, and the headquarters of the district is located in Moscow. The TsKV is the third largest military Cossack society and in 2011, its number numbered more than 60 thousand people.

Who joined the Central Army? First of all, these are the descendants of the Cossacks who were resettled in central Russia during the time of decossackization.

History also shows that the Cossacks lived in the territory of central Russia from the 16th century on the territory from Ryazan to Voronezh.

In the 16-17 centuries, the Cossacks who inhabited the southern cities of Muscovy were called city Cossacks, and they were part of the guard and stanitsa services.

L. Yakovlev explains that "the Cossacks were policemen, also called Russians." He also gives an incomplete list of them, highlighting the mounted and foot Cossacks. The former included Kurmysh, Kasimov, Temnikov, Shatsk, Kadom, Alator, Belev, Kozel, Masal, Borovsk, Mozhai, Lutsk, Vyazma Cossacks, while the latter included Mikhailov, Pron, Gremyachevsky, Yelets, Lebedyan, Dank, Voronezh, Pereyaslavl-Ryazan Cossacks. , Borisovsky and others. Thus, "Russian Cossacks" in the old days were called city Cossacks who served in fortresses on the outskirts of Moscow.
As we can see, most of these fortified cities covered the southeastern border of the Moscow state.

It was originally an inner line of fortified towns - Nizhny Novgorod, Murom, Meshchera, Kasimov, Ryazan, Kashira, Tula, Serpukhov and Zvenigorod. Then the next advanced fortified line with other cities - Epifan, Dedilov, Novosil, Mtsensk, Novgorod-Seversky, Putivl, Rylsk, Sapozhok and others. After the annexation of Kazan and Astrakhan, the advanced border line moved south - Livny, Belgorod, Yelets, Oskol, Valuyki, Kromy, Kursk and others.

Our thoughts are very clear
Our goals today are real,
Gather, sons of Russia,
In our army Cossack Central.
No, we don't need to swing a saber,
And raise Russia from its knees!
Our country is being torn to pieces
And hope for you, Cossacks.

Orthodoxy strengthens the spirit,
We are waiting for you, chieftains, on the Circle
And when we come to repentance,
Then we will save Russia!
