Companions of the naked Cossack deputy expelled from the Maidan remained to spend the winter on an island in Kyiv
Kyiv, November 30 (PolitNavigator, Vladimir Raichenko) – On Trukhanov Island in Kyiv, former Maidanists create a Zaporozhye-type slaughter and train with toy blasters.
The Kiev weekly “Correspondent” writes about this, talking about one of the hundreds of Maidan Self-Defense, previously known as the “Cossack Redoubt”, expelled to Trukhanov Island after the cleansing of the Maidan by the new government.

“We are going to create a real slaughter,” the bunchuzhny of the hundred, that is, the keeper of the kleinods, symbols of the ataman’s power, shared his plans with the publication. - Just not Zaporozhye, but Trukhanovskaya. We are not tired of fighting. Ukraine needs Cossacks, strong warriors, like before, who would not get involved in politics and would not sell their ideals for positions in parliament.”
20-30 people permanently live here, calling themselves Cossacks, who do not forget to prepare their shifts.
“Former Maidan members teach teenagers how to handle bladed weapons and shoot a bow,” the magazine continues. “For kids, there are master classes on folk art, as well as not at all old Leisertag fights - a shootout with toy laser pistols.”
Incidentally, the current member of the Ukrainian parliament, Mykhailo Gavrilyuk (formerly known as the "naked Cossack"), who declared higher education unnecessary in parliament , emerged from the Maidan Cossack hundred.
True, the Trukhanov Cossacks are not very fond of their former comrade-in-arms and caretaker of the “Cossack Redoubt”, who after going into politics stopped communicating with his native hundred.
“Some came to Maidan to fight for their country, while others came to make a career,” says Bunchuzhny about Gavrilyuk, quoted by Korrespondent.
