    Les cosaques du Don

    Ils sont beaux !
    Mais il y a des cosaques habillés en cosaque, et d'autres en bocheviks. Remarquez les couteaux. Les français ont peut être raison quand ils disent des cosaques, qu'ils égorgent d'abord et posent les questions après... Il y a chez ces gens ce côté guerrier cultivé, capable de participer à une tuerie, et de chanter divinement bien.
    Mais ceux-ci etaient très calmes et ils chantaient très bien, avec des voix fortes et nettes.


    They are beautiful!
    But there are the Cossack dressed in Cossack, and of others in Bocheviks. Notice the knives. The French have can be reason when they say the Cossack, that they first slaughter and put the questions after... There are at these people this cultivated war side, capable to participate in a slaughter, and to sing divinely well.
    But these were very quiet and they sang very well, with strong and clean voices.
