Cossacks vs Kazaks: how Russia stole Ukrainian history and turned it into a weapon (with Operator Starsky)- UATV English



This video is about a battle not only on the battlefield, but also for memory, identity, and truth.
We explain how Russia appropriated the Cossack heritage and created a fake image of “Kazaks” as a punitive tool of the empire.
Find out how these fake Cossacks have been involved in the occupation of Ukrainian territories, persecution and propaganda since 2014.
Find out how real Cossacks differ from Putin's “Kazaks” and why ignorance of one's own history today is already a defeat in a hybrid war.
