On October 30, in kindergarten No. 8 in Goryachy Klyuch, which has the status of a regional Cossack educational organization, a solemn initiation of pupils into Cossacks took place. The joy of this moment was shared with the children by honored guests: confessor of the regional Cossack society Archpriest Konstantin Gashevsky, ataman of the Goryacheklyuchevsky RKO, combat veteran Vasily Anikeev, deputy ataman Mikhail Mashchenko, holder of the Order of Courage, combat veteran Sergei Matyash, representative of the Council of Elders Pavel Popogrebsky.

The kids unanimously took a solemn oath: on this day, 60 children joined the ranks of the Cossacks. Archpriest Konstantin took the oath, blessed the Cossacks for good deeds and wished them strength of spiritual strength and growth in faith. Representatives of the Cossacks also addressed the children with parting words and congratulations.

The celebration continued with a bright creative program. Young artists performed traditional songs with all their hearts and danced cheerfully.
