Leather-bound gift set "Cossacks" in 3 volumes

The leather-bound gift set "Cossacks" of 3 volumes is a large—scale and deeply researched publication that includes almost the entire body of surviving works on the Terek Cossacks, as well as on other Cossack armies — Don, Kuban, Astrakhan. These materials have not been republished for centuries, and most of them remain unknown even to specialists, not to mention a wide range of readers. It contains rare archival texts, memoirs, scientific research, and historical and ethnographic essays that recreate a holistic picture of the life, structure, traditions, and heroic path of the Cossacks in the history of Russia.

The work on the set was carried out with exceptional attention to historical accuracy and linguistic accuracy: all sources were brought into line with the norms of the modern literary language, painstaking work was carried out to eliminate lexical and stylistic differences, and terminology was unified. Each author is preceded by a biographical note that reveals the context of his scientific or practical activities. The preface introduces the reader to the essence of the publication, setting the tone for attentive and thoughtful reading.

Hundreds of color illustrations included in each volume enliven the text: archival photographs, engravings, images of Cossack uniforms, weapons, banners, rare documents and portraits of chieftains. Many images are published for the first time. This is not just a book — it is a deep visual and meaningful portrait of the Cossacks as a unique phenomenon in the history of Russia, their unshakeable spirit, military valor and role in the formation of sovereign statehood. The set will be an invaluable gift for a historian, patriot, collector or anyone who honors the heritage of their ancestors.
