Gusar, gusarskii

[Elena Gapova]

Dear list,

I am looking for a "culturally adequate" English translation of the words
gusar and gusarskii. Hussar to me (as a non-English speaker) is absolutely
blank; is there a word or a phrase with more or less the same connotations,
i.e.  including gusarskaya udal', gusarskii naskok, i.e. very specific
masculinity? Kogda polk gusar vhodit v gorod, tam nachinaetsya
nastoyashchaya zhizn'...

I would appreciate any help,
Elena Gapova
