2 unusual facts about Azov Cossack Host


Azov Cossack Host

During the Russo-Turkish War (1828–1829), the Danubian Sich Cossacks, previously living in exile in Ottoman controlled Danube Delta were split in loyalty towards the Orthodox Russian Empire, who they left in 1775 and Islamic Ottoman Empire, which was about to start another war with Russia.

Because of their initial small size, the peasants of Novospasovka selo were also incorporated into the host.
