- Abstract
This article studies the Cossacks, a group of people that emerged in the northern steppes of the Black Sea during the fifteenth century. It mainly focuses on the community's political and social effects on the powerful states of the geography, namely Tsarist Russia, Poland, the Crimean Khanate and the Ottoman Empire. After examining the etymology of Cossack and Hetman in the introductory part, it analyzes Don Cossacks' relations with the Ottomans and the Russian state. Don Cossacks migrated from Russia, where they had a dispute under the leadership of their Hetman Ignat Nekrasov, to the Ottoman lands. Nekrasov's will strictly asked Don Cossacks to protect their identity and beliefs after his death during the period. In this manner, they lived in Anatolia for more than two hundred and fifty years and preserved their language and culture. In the 1960s, they migrated to the USA and Russia due to some customary reasons related to marriage and population decrease. By scrutinizing Don Cossacks' changing contexts, this study aims to draw a framework for the life of the community through the lens of Ottoman documents and Turkish and Russian sources.
