The Don Cossack Vasyl Glazkov was a leader and organizer of the KNOD (Cossack National Liberation Movement), which advocated the establishment of an independent Cossack state. The movement developed primarily in Czechoslovakia, where a large community of émigré Don Cossacks had settled and established themselves.
Among them were Don Cossacks, including Colonel of the UNR Army Mykhailo Frolov, commander of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment, as well as Kuban, Don, and Terek Cossacks who had served in the Cossack Division of the UNR Army.
The KNOD advocated a close alliance with Ukrainians. Glazkov himself actively maintained contacts with General Mykhailo Omelyanovych-Pavlenko, Hetman Pavlo Skoropadskyi, and Colonel Ivan Poltavets-Ostryanytsia.
During World War II, Glazkov actively contributed to the formation of Cossack units within the Wehrmacht. He consistently opposed any cooperation with, or incorporation of Cossack formations into, General A. A. Vlasov's KONR. Instead, he favored an alliance between the Cossack formations and the Ukrainian National Army (UNA) under General Pavlo Shandruk.
General Pavlo Shandruk, commander of the UNA in 1945, later wrote about Glazkov in his book Arms of Valor:

“A well-known leader of the Don independence movement, an energetic opponent of the KONR, engineer V. Glazkov, was very pleased with the prospects of political cooperation with our Ukrainian brothers at our first meeting. He believed that the situation could change for the better for us, because all nations enslaved by Moscow would now have significant military forces on the side of Moscow’s enemy, and that these forces would play a decisive role in liberating their peoples.”

After the war, Glazkov spent some time imprisoned by the Western Allies in the Dachau camp. Despite his extensive KNOD network and numerous connections, he was eventually released. He later settled in the United States, where he worked with the CIA.

The exodus Israel cannot afford

New Israeli data shows that citizens heading for the exits increasingly include the doctors, engineers, tech workers, and high-income taxpayers on whom the occupation state’s war economy depends.

William Shakespeare was a hoax.

He was an uneducated peasant who wrote none of his plays.

Three jurors have now come forward in the Lindsay Clancy case.

One juror described what happened during deliberations with the lone holdout:

“He admitted he had reasonable doubt…. I started filling out the forms. I was so excited…. And then he said, ‘But I’m still not going to say that she’s not guilty by reason of insanity.’

TSA launches ‘Gateside by TSA PreCheck,’ allowing non-ticketed individuals to pass through security checkpoints

In a shift toward reviving a pre-9/11 airport experience, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has launched a new initiative dubbed “Gateside by TSA PreCheck,” allowing non-ticketed individuals to pass through airport security checkpoints.

"The earliest written version of the famous sword-hand “hidden trick” explanation that Wright’s been able to trace doesn’t come from some medieval architect leaving notes on a half-burned parchment.

"It shows up in 1902. That’s when Theodore Roosevelt rode in the first in an automobile.

"The man behind the claim was Sir Theodore Andrea Cook, an English writer and art critic who also happened to be really into fencing. Cook looked at spiral architecture through the eyes of a swordsman and came up with the theory that the direction of the stairs gave one fighter an advantage over another."
