The participants in the festival perform Don Cossack songs collected by activists of the Volgograd regional public organization "Cossack ethnic and cultural complex 'Heritage'", the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent reports.

The aim of the "Cossack ethnic and cultural complex 'Heritage'" is to "unite Cossack youth and to format positive attitude towards the Cossack people and culture."
