Krasnodar:
Also known as "Land of Cossacks" or "Cossack City"

Russia has yet to get over the IMPACT that was left and it's evidenced by every inch of this city being covered with honor and tribute.

am mean, bow down lol





Cossack military and cultural influence was/is so strong that many Russians who are not technically of Cossack descent, still claim it and immerse themselves in the Cossack identity.

popular Russian Song: "You And Me Are Cossacks"

Significant Discovery: First known Black American family of Kalmyk descent

Takeaways: Be prepared to pivot, even when you think you're on the right track. Be OK with being wrong so you can get things right.

Kalmyks are tribal Mongolic people who settled in Russia. It's estimated that only 300,000 Kalmyk descendants exist worldwide - with only 3,000 in America.
