10. The origin of the word "Cossack" remains unclear to this day.The word В was first mentioned in 1471 in the Grebenskaya Chronicles. It used to refer to the Christians of the upper reaches of the Don. These people are known to have welcomed Grand Duke Dmitry Donskoy with icons, banners and gonfalons. Tatistchev, the celebrated historian, writes that the Don Cossacks are descendants of the Dnieper and Mestchera Cossacks who were permitted to settle along the Don by the decree of Ivan the Terrible. Tatistchev's contemporary A.I.Riegelman notes that, according to Byzantine emperor Constantine Bagry- anorodny, the Cossacks as a community came into being around 948 A.D. and may have been named after Kazak, the conqueror of the Tatars. Kazak's own warriors were called "Cossacks". Historian Bykadorov, the author of "The History of the Cossacks" is of the opinion that the Don Cossacks come from the Tmutarakan principality of Kazakiya. Don’s Cadets

11. According to some scholars, the word "Cossack" is of Turkic origin and means "lonely", "without home or family". These people used to make up the vanguard of the Tatar hordes. Others insist that it is made up of the Mongol word "со" (meaning "armour, defence") and "zakh" (boundary, frontier). It thus appears that the word "Cossack" means "a defender of frontiers". Another group of historians believe that the Cossacks were named after the Khazars, the population of Scythia. However, none of these interpretations can be taken as the only correct one. Tales were passed from one generation to another of the valour of the Cossack warriors, of the glorious campaigns under the command of no less a person than A.V. Suvorov, of Cossack Obukhov, Suvorov's special favourite, and of Matvey Platov, the outstanding politician, commander, hero of the war of 1812.

12. The main goal of this institution is the raising of a generation of young men capable of defending their Motherland and of efficiently serving their people. How can one acquire such qualities of worthy citizen and warrior as unfailing loyalty and the striving to give ones all in the service of one’s country, the qualities that constitute the honour and the dignity of a cadet? It would seem that nothing is easier - you don your uniform and that's all there is to do. However, tee is so much more involved than that. A young officer should be a thoroughly educated person. Optional help to provide just this kind of education. Much earlier than their coevals elsewhere the cadets develop a sense of self-confidence and prove capable of taking reasonable and firm decisions. A military school is a school of life. It raises a generation of statesmen that Russia needs now ever. It would be no exaggeration to say that only the revival of tradition and of military ensure the revival of the flourishing of Russia.

13. A military school is an educational establishment constituting an elementary stage in the training of boy for service as officers. The word "cadet" means "young". Originally, in the family of Russian nobles, it applied to the masters who were trained for service in an upper military rank. What sets a military the central figure is not a teacher but a tutor-officer. The two other distinctive features are the more or less pronounced focus on the military aspect of a cadet's life and the specific structure of everyday activity in all the subdivisions of the military school. Ever new military schools emerge across the country every year. They not only train cadets for military service, but provide to them education and an upbringing worthy of an officers rank.

14. It is an honour to be a student of the Novocherkassk cadets’ corps. My mentality is different from that of other people. I respect all nations and religions. I shall never stoop to idleness. The most honourable victory of all is victory over the self. I shall learn to overcome fear and pain. Life is short. I shall lose no time in training to become a professional. I must live honestly. I must be able to look people in the face. I want to become strong so as to defend the weak. I shall never betray my fellow-cadet. My slogan is “Honour and glory!" I fully understand that I tread the Path of Warrior. We are the future of our great Mother Russia!
