#1 According to the bill, Cossacks are to be sent for military service, as a rule, to military units with traditional Cossack names, to border units and the Internal Troops. Cossacks can also participate in the military and patriotic upbringing of young people, preventing and handling the consequences of emergency situations and natural disasters, guarding the state border and combating terrorism. The bill also defines the forms of Cossack societies: hamlet, village, town, district and host Cossack societies with a fixed number of members.

My wife, a Russian, watches Russian news by satellite. She says Putin is trying to reform the military. I guess this is what she means.
