What was the Cossack wedding?

Какой смысл сегодня мы вкладываем в слово «свадьба»? Скорее, это протокольное мероприятие, регистрация отношений в ЗАГСе. У наших же предков все было по-иному. Еще сто, двести лет назад свадьба была настоящим событием для всей станицы, вобравшим вековые устои дедов и прадедов. В наши дни побывать на такой казачьей свадьбе можно вряд ли, однако кое-какие элементы ее все же сохранились. Каким был свадебный цикл баталпашинских казаков — знает исследователь быта и традиций казаков Верхней Кубани Марина Куракеева.

Remember, brother, that the Cossacks:
Friendship - is;
Partnership - the tradition;
Hospitality - the law

Cossack Retired

One form of Cossack society was gathering. With a large similarity with the terms of the Cossack, he had significant basic differences.
Data collection was carried out on the descent of the same order as in the circle, but it is usually invited all residents of the village, including women and people from other cities. The principal difference from the vanishing of the Circle was the fact that it has not been a vote, did not dare to fundamental issues and not put issues affecting the community.
If the circle was an organization that generates long-term political program, served as a legislative assembly, the Gathering was the social organization of the executive.

Rights and obligations of the Cossack

Правом на вступление в казачье общество имеет любой православный казак по отцу или матери, а главное, осознающий себя казаком и живущий по принципам казачества. Правом присутствия на кругах, сходах, правом быть избранным на любую должность, правом свободно излагать и отстаивать свои взгляды, как на развитие казачьей общины, так и всего казачества, традиционно обладают мужчины, православные казаки. Основанием для вступления в казачье общество служит личное заявление вступающего, с последующим поручительством трех членов этого общества: от товарища вступающего, совета стариков, от члена атаманского правления. Кроме поручительства обязательно благословение священника. Прием производится простым большинством голосов на кругу.

The adoption of the Cossacks is a legal act of the circular that grants received all or part of the rights and duties of a Cossack. Here a distinction is made between the Cossacks and adopted in a Cossack by birth.

You can "serve as the Cossacks," live in "Cossacks," but a full Cossack (without blame) can not be. They could only be adopted grandchildren and great-grandchildren Cossack, and then only if they live among the Cossacks, Cossack service and are getting married on the Cossack, as reflected in the documents.

The same applies to the woman - a Cossack. Although she has, being the wife of the Cossack, all legal rights, but among the rest of his Cossack Cossack day is not considered, so it includes more tolerant of the indigenous Cossack would be blamed, as ignorance of the customs or incivility. Nonresident woman can become a Cossack only through marriage.

Cossack domostroj

Cossack domostroj
 
For years, the school we hammered contempt for the very concept of "domostroj." This attitude began to take shape in a noble, and then in raznochintsy environment, influenced by Western, including the French revolutionary ideas.
    А ведь «Домострой», впервые составленный при Иване Грозном, был огромным культурным достижением России, поскольку в нем закреплялись и регламентировались наиболее рациональные, проверенные веками, традиционные отношения в семье. Под руководством Церкви из всего многообразия обычаев и традиций отбирались наиболее гуманистические и наиболее пригодные к русскому пониманию и быту. Не случайно «Домострой», как главная книга для семейного пользования, дожил в России до XX века.
