Details	The Cossacks are the case in point, and , of all the Cossacks, the case of the Orenburg Cossacks was most interesting, since these were a sort of ”official Cossacks” who were newly establishe by the government in the 18th century, and no longer possessed the tradition of "freedom and autonomy". They functioned as menmbers of the Russian imperial army, not as regular forces but rather as a sort of irregular forces consisting of peoples such as the Kalmyks, and the Bashkirs, Orrenburg Cossacks played a significant role in the Russian army.
