Kozak/Cossack

[Robert Orr]

"Cossack" has even moved away from purely East Slavic connotations already 
in English.

cf. Cossacks to the rescue! on a website I recently read actually refers to 
the Communist Party of Canada's endorsement of the recent failed "coup 
d'etat"  (written by someone who I don't think knows Russian)

and "Kozak" is already used in an unexpected source in English

"an you imagine a Conan movie depicting Conan like pirates of the 
carribean?????Wearing 16th cent clothing and carry7ng baskethilt blades?I'm 
sure some of the hardcore REH fans would even relish a Kozak Conan too.As 
much as I enjoy stories like the black stranger (I have to admit I prefer 
DeCamps Tranicos lol!!!!),that Conan is to me the legendary entity and the 
real guy is always the guy who destroyed the snake cult about whom the other 
(REH) stories evolve.........i guess I'm ready for some REH 
anathema-aphorism,too,right?Sorry but I find the 1st movie truly superior to 
the stories."

cf. also the lovely hybrid "Olgerd Vladislav" and the "Zaporoskans".
