The meeting, which took place in the hall of church councils of the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, was attended by representatives of 11 military Cossack societies that are part of the Russian Cossack Society.
In his welcome remarks, Dmitry Mironov thanked the participants for their consistent and purposeful work to consolidate Russian Cossacks and realise their potential to strengthen Russian statehood.
“The Russian Federation State Policy Strategy Regarding Russian Cossacks for 2021–2030, approved by the President, envisages specific tasks that, I am sure, will be fulfilled with the direct involvement of the Russian Cossack Society,” Mr Mironov noted.
