Azov Cossack Host

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Azov Cossack Host was a Cossack host created in 1828 of Trans-Danubian Sich Cossacks (Задунайская Сечь) returned under the Russian patronage during the Russo-Turkish War, 1828-1829 under the command of kosh ataman Osip Hladkiy (Осип Михайлов Гладкий). When the war ended, they were given land between Berdyansk and Mariupol.

In 1864 all of them were resettled to North Caucasus and merged into the Kuban Cossack Host.
