The World Cossack Association was established in 1947 in state of NJ, USA. The associations was created by the cossacks, people who were forced to move out of Communist Russia (former Soviet Union) after Second World War. To seek a freedom and better life for their members and all cossacks and their families together.The main idea of creations of the World Cossacks Associations was to unite all Cossack and Cossacks organizations all over the world.
The main rules and tasks of Associations are:
1. To protect all members.
2. Assistance to development of community, fraternal interrelations and the maintenance of the Cossacks traditions among them.
3. To help the members in their needs, loosing jobs, illness.
4. The cultural and information work, to publish books and magazines, lecture and concerts and celebration of all Cossacks holidays.
5. Open our own Cossacks clubs, museums and libraries (which is already exists).
My family and I traveled from Baltimore, MD and attended the BBQ held at the museum in New Kuban, NJ on Memorial Day weekend and a great time was had by all. With two grandfathers being Cossacks it was with great pride to see the heritage of our fore-fathers being carried on.
