Cossack (Russian Kazak (Казак); plural, Kazaki (Казаки), Polish Kozak; plural, Kozacy, from the Turkish quzzaq, "adventurer", "free-booter"), is the name given to a portion of the population of Eastern Europe.
Cossacks inhabited parts of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union, particularly in areas now comprising southern Russia and the Ukraine.
Cossacks have long appealed to romantics as idealising freedom and resistance to external authority, and their military exploits against enemies of the Russian people have contributed to this favorable image.
