Warriors and Peasants depicts the lives of the Don Cossacks in late
Imperial Russia. The dual identity of the Cossacks, that of the
steppe and of the settled Slavic areas, is emphasized as the key to
their unique culture. The book explores how that identity
manifested and preserved itself by focusing on the Cossack
tradition, their economy, their families and their communities. Far
from being moribund and close to collapse, the book concludes that
the Cossack tradition remained among the most vibrant in the
Empire.
