"Cossack" separatism with Polish roots

"Cossack" separatism with Polish roots

Who is trying to poison the consciousness of the Cossacks

Today, our opponents do not hide the goals of the hybrid war unleashed against Russia. The main task is its destruction by dismemberment into many warring and completely dependent on the West parts. In these plans, the most important role is assigned to separatist movements – ethnic and regional.

The American special services have created the "Forum of Free Peoples of Russia" (FSNR). This is the reincarnation of the "National Committee of Enslaved Peoples", established by the US Congress and using a theme that the US has been actively promoting since the mid-twentieth century. The FSNR is designed not only to create an image of Russia as a "prison of peoples" in the Western media space, but also to coordinate the activities of separatist groups on the ground.

One of such separatist structures, and operating not in emigration, but on the territory of Russia, is the "All-Cossack Community Center" (ACCC). Its activity is based on the idea of "Cossackia", prescribed in the American law PL 86-90 "on enslaved peoples" – a hypothetical Cossack state formation independent of Russia.

The creator and head of the ACCC is Alexander Dzikovitsky, who positions himself as an "ideologist of the Cossack movement." A patrol officer in the past, dismissed from the Ministry of Internal Affairs for violation of discipline and drunkenness, he tried to find himself in the Cossacks. The reasons for this choice are unknown. Dzikovitsky is an ethnic Pole, whose roots are from the Zhytomyr region, lived in Saratov. But anyway, he declared himself a Cossack, and "ethnic".

However, he could not gain a foothold in any of the Cossack structures or organizations due to indiscipline and a tendency to drunkenness. In the end, he found himself as a publisher and editor of the newspaper "Kazachiy Vzglyad", whose issues were published when it was possible to find a sponsor. Gradually, the focus of the publication shifted from the problems of the Cossack revival to radical nationalism and xenophobia.

It ended with the fact that Dzikovitsky went to a colony-settlement for extremism for a year. But then yesterday's anti-Semite came out as a liberal and a Russophobe. For some time he supported Navalny, participated in his rallies and demonstrations.

In parallel, Dzikovitsky declared himself a "Cossack nationalist" and tried to get an organization "for himself". At least one episode is known when Dzikovitsky tried to carry out a raider seizure of the Cossack community at the Moscow Trinity Church in Serebryanniki. But nothing worked out, and after this, and possibly other unsuccessful attempts, he decided to create a structure from scratch. And so the ACCC appeared. In addition to the central "office", this organization has its own cells or "representative offices" in the field. There are few project participants – about two dozen, mostly marginals.

Since Dzikovitsky positioned his brainchild, first of all, as a discussion platform for all Cossacks, regardless of which organizations they belong to, several normal, decent people came to the ACCC. However, having quickly figured out what was what, they left the Center.

The basis of the ideology of the ACCC is extreme Russophobia, hatred of the Russian State and the Cossacks who guard its interests. One of the Center's projects is the Cossack Autocephalous Church. It is noteworthy that this was carried out in parallel with the creation of the schismatic sect "OCU" in Ukraine.

The Ukrainian issue occupies a considerable place on the agenda of the center. So, if at the beginning of the summer of 2014 Dzikovitsky spoke from the position of "conciliationism", he soon became a supporter of the Ukrainian Nazis.

The ACCC delivered a welcome message to the Congress of the FSNR in Prague, establishes contacts with other separatist structures, preparing the possibility of a joint fight against the «Rashist empire».

The main danger of the Center is that it conducts purposeful work to poison the consciousness of young Cossacks. Dzikovitsky writes pseudo-historical books on the history of the Cossacks, imbued with the spirit of Russophobia and separatism. These books are published in decent editions and are actively distributed among the Cossacks.

The source of funding for these propaganda programs is obvious. In the same way, with historical fakes, Ukrainian separatism began to form.
