Each Cossack force had its own ataman and there was an ataman of all Cossack forces who, from 1827, was the heir to the imperial throne. |

The decision maker turned out to be a gray-haired Cossack ataman, or commander, in a traditional sheepskin hat. |
|
The ataman had executive powers, and at time of war, he was the supreme commander in the field. |
|
In 1582, the Siberia Khanate was attacked by the Cossack ataman Yermak, who defeated Kuchum's forces and captured the capital Qashliq. |
|
He was sent to Moscow in 1646 and returned to Tomsk in 1647 with the rank of ataman. |
|
In 1659 he was at Yakutsk and later went to Moscow where he was appointed an ataman. |
|
Ataman uses film to explore the notion of true confessions and reportage. |
|
On April 14, ataman Yakovlev led elders to destroy the rebel camp and captured Razin, taking him soon afterward to Moscow to be executed. |
|
In 1582 the troops of Cossack ataman Yermak seized and ruined Qashliq. |
|
These are led by an elder patriarch, usually a grandfather, who often has the title of Ataman. |
|
Muscovy tried to gain support from the old Cossacks, asking the ataman, or Cossack chieftain, to prevent Razin from following through with his plans. |
