Wow. You learn something new every day. I didn't know
there was a Lada called the Cossack. I wonder if
Cossacks drive Cossacks. :)

The Sunday Telegraph
Russia calls on the Cossacks to ride again - this time
in Ladas
(Filed: 14/12/2003)

As a wave of terror attacks sweeps the country,
Russia's warrior caste, the Cossacks, are reviving
their role as guardians of the south, reports Tom
Parfitt in Moscow

Eyes ablaze, Oleg Tishenko runs a finger down the
pitted blade of a 19th-century sabre.

"We are ready to fulfil our historic duty," he says,
making a slash through the air. "We have never been
afraid of anyone. It is genetically impossible for a
Cossack to experience fear. We must protect the
borders of the motherland."

Here on Russia's fringe in the Caucasus, a rebirth is
taking place. Under threat from Chechen terrorists,
Russia has called on its "untamed horsemen" - the
Cossacks - to resurrect their historic role as
defenders of its southern frontier.
