 “…here they are, Russian characters. You think this man is quite simple, but in a severe misfortune the great strength –inner human beauty- appears in him.”

A. Tolstoy, the story “True Russian character”

«Да, вот они, русские характеры! Кажется, прост человек, а придёт суровая беда, в большом или в малом, и поднимается в нём великая сила — человеческая красота.» А.Толстой

Our Cossack teacher

When I think about my Cossack countrymen I can’t but agree with A. Tolstoy’s words.

Like all Cossacks they have always been famous for their courage and stoic character, for their reliability in battles and patriotism. Behind gentleness, kindness and modesty of Cossacks, great stamina and extraordinary patience are concealed. What A. Tolstoy meant by inner human beauty was the ability for self-sacrifice, faithfulness and devotion, the ability to love. All these qualities give strength to a person. These features also concern to persons I’m going to tell because they are Russians by nature.

There are not so many Cossack families in our village but each of them has its own feature. (photo 1)

All of them are friendly to strangers, they consider them to be representatives of God and they are always ready to give a helping hand without any reward. Cossacks are known to be helpful. That’s perfectly true. If something happens to you they will do everything possible. Not only friends but neighbors come for help. They share food, help to build each other’s houses. Responsiveness and sensitivity are also important traits of Cossacks. They sympathize with you in your sorrow and share your happiness. (photo2)

Cossacks always do everything they promise.

We’re proud of our countryman Doroshev Akim Ivanovich, a Cossack of the Great Army of the Don. (photo 3)

He was born on the 7th of September, 1887, in the village of Volchensky, Gundorovsky Nomad’s tent, Donetskaya region.

Akim Ivanovich took part in the First World War. In one of the fightings near the river Danube he made himself a leader after his commander’s death and finished the fighting successfully. Then he became an officer (his officer’s rank is unknown). After the revolution he worked as a teacher in a parochial school (приходское училище) in the village of Platovo. He also helped in the liquidations of illiteracy of the population in villages of Platovo and Verhnyaya Kovalyovka. In 1930 his child’s godfather betrayed him. So Akim Ivanovich was sentenced to repression for his past. He was sent to the construction of BBK - Belomoro-Baltic Channel. Our museum was given his document – his personal book.

His brother’s grandson, Donald Doroshev, a resident of Canada, came to Platovo in 1978. ( photo 4) He said that Akim Ivanovich and his grandfather Nikolay Stepanovich were born in stanitsa Gundorovskaya. They both were well-educated Cossacks. Donald told about the hardships the Cossacks had to overcome leaving Russia in1920s. He gave us a book “From the shores of the Don to the shores of the Hudson river” written by N.V. Fyodorov, the ataman of the Great Army of the Don abroad. He wrote that Cossacks were famous for their courage and stoic character, for their reliability in battles.

The author described the Cossack custom of  thanksgiving. There was a small house in the backyard. He wrote that Cossacks had always been very hospitable people. He remembered that there was a bench and a covered table in one of the rooms. The door of this room was always unlocked. Any visitor could enter it, have a meal and a rest and then he could continue his way. This custom can be called the custom of hospitability. As it was found out our grandparents met their guests in the same way too. We liked N.V. Fyodorov’s words: “It's impossible to forget this miraculous country Russia, Imperial Russia - a country of Liberty and Orthodoxy. My most remarkable memories are connected with holidays: Christmas, Easter and others”.  He wrote: “We, teenagers, were brought up in faith, in devotion in keeping promises”.

It goes without saying that we should consider deeds of these simple men as good examples in our everyday life. Let’s start attracting positive energy not forgetting how our grandfathers lived!
