The life of your friend is always more valuable than your own. You can die yourself, but rescue your friend. I am a Cossack outside of Russia therefore subscribe to the following: "All Cossacks outside of Russia, subscribing to the cardinal principles of these previous pronunciamentos, and remaining true to their historical ways and traditions, do hereby declare: "1. All Cossacks, considering themselves firmly bound to the Free Russian State, stand on their former positions, to wit: "a. All Cossacks believe and trust that the new Russian State will take the form of a Federated Republic of the Free Provinces and Peoples of Russia; "b. All Cossacks believe and stand for granting the widest federative rights to the 'fringe states' and peoples of the Russian State, but they object to the dismemberment of Russia into separate, independent republics; "c. All Cossacks trust that the final decision, whether the Russian State will be a federated republic, or a monarchy, or whether it will assume some other form of national structure, must depend and hinge on the decision of the All-Russia Council of Peoples Deputies or the Constitutional Assembly, lawfully proclaimed and organized later, upon establishing a firm order and peace in the land; "d. All Cossacks, considering themselves a part of the family of the Peoples of Russia, cannot visualize establishment of the future Russia without their active participation in the creation of that state; "e. All Cossacks, possessing a program for their own governmental structure, their own ideal of the human community, an ideal tested and found true in the course of many centuries, and sealed with the blood of their great forefathers— "declare, openly and freely, that they, the Cossacks, with any form of Russian regime, shall, with a firm hand, defend for themselves their own natural, free, ageless democratic order — in the same manner as they did in the course of past centuries." These are the cardinal human principles for which the Cossacks died in their glorious past. For these principles are the remnants of a proud people that are ready to fight to the death now. |
