A NEW STUDY OF COSSACK EVERYDAY LIFE. REVIEW OF THE BOOK: GODOVOVA E. V. THE DAILY LIFE OF RUSSIAN COSSACKS IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE 19th — EARLY 20th CENTURIES / sci. ed. P. S. Kabytov. Saint Petersburg : Dmitry Bulanin Publ., 2020. 464 p.
Abstract
The review article analyzes the monograph by E. V. Godovova, dedicated to the daily life of the Cossacks in the post-reform era. It is concluded that with all the richness of the historiography of the Russian pre-revolutionary Cossacks, this work is favorably distinguished from the list of other studies due to the meticulous reconstruction of various aspects of the daily life of the Cossacks. There is considerable work done by the author while consolidating diverse areas of everyday life under one cover. On the basis of numerous sources, the author managed to present a vivid picture of the military field life of the Cossacks, to show the ways of adapting them to hardships, and to highlight motivating factors for serving and participating in hostilities. Some suggestions were made about the information that could logically supplement the work under review.
