"The Ukrainian register cossacks" -

Hetman of Ukrainian Register Cossacks Anatoly Shevchenko

The Cossack social movement is widely spread in Ukraine now. Today we feel necessity to define the national idea for our people, the leader and bearer of which long since have been the Cossacks.

The basic purpose of the Ukrainian Register Cossacks activity consists in assistance to development of Ukraine as a sovereign and independent, democratic and legal state, with Cossack model of democracy that harmoniously unites liberties and freedom with discipline and order in the state.

The motto of the former Register Cossacks was the following: "We shall save up the honour - we shall keep the glory!" and the motto of the modern Register Cossacks: "Through spirituality and patriotism of each person to the mighty state and well-being of Ukrainian people".
