Russian Cossacks have always been distinguished by a special love of homosexual games. Most Cossacks sign up for Cossack units on purpose, to be closer to their own kind. But the Cossack lot is not always easy. Stern mountain Dagestanis often take advantage of Cossack kindness and simplicity, lure Cossacks into secluded corners and rape them there. If, passing by a vacant lot or an abandoned building, you hear the rhythmic clinking of medals — know that yet another Dagestani is raping a Cossack.
