The phenomenon of Cossackdom in the culture of modern Russia
The research is based on the semiotic approach to the study of culture. The article aims to consider the current state of the Cossack culture through the sign component. The author of the article suggests that the historical places of residence of the Cossacks determine the current state of culture in these regions and the revival of Cossackdom should be broadcast in them. The article traces the process of rejection of the ideas of the spiritual, cultural and ethnic revival of Cossackdom, which began more than 30 years ago, in the direction of politicization. There is no consensus not only among the Cossack structures, but also in general in society, there are always disagreements. If we try to restore the regional traditions of the Cossack culture, it is possible not only to preserve the historical past of the Cossacks, but also to take a further step towards its revival through the natural arrival of the new generations of the Cossacks, through the original education and Cossack societies. The article points out that the value of the revival of the cultural phenomenon of Cossackdom in modern Russia, which has covered all regions, is determined by the needs of the Russian society itself. Perhaps the presence of transperiphery, due to historical reality, can be a motivating start for the cultural flourishing of the Russian state.
