It&amp;#x27;s a also fair to name that Russian history.&lt;p&gt;A lot of people could argue that is specifically Cossack history, because Cossacks could be viewed as separate ethnicity with their own history.&lt;p&gt;Somebody will say that&amp;#x27;s Russian word is correct, because &amp;quot;Russian&amp;quot; is umbrella term for both velikorossy (Great Russians) and malorossy (Ukrainians) :-)&lt;p&gt;But it&amp;#x27;s definitely fair from modern Russian perspective and from modern Ukrainian perspective to claim this history as their own.</text></comment>
