Summing up the results of the meeting, he noted: “The rallying of young Cossacks and the development of lasting trust-based relations are the main result of this meeting. Its outcome will be taken into account in the future actions to support Cossack youth.”

Nine representatives of Cossack youth organisations were declared winners.
Cultural events occupied a special place in the forum’s agenda. In particular, the delegates were able to learn more about the inimitable couture of Krasnoyarsk Territory, its tourism potential and the history of local Cossacks.
