THE KOZATSKIY DIM WAS OPENED IN KYIV
Recently, on May 29 a solemn ceremony of opening the Kozatskiy Dim (the Cossack House), a legendary building in the center of Kyiv, that had become a kind of fortress for "the black men," volunteers, who had solemnly spoke the prayer of a Ukrainian nationalist in its inner courtyard before departure at their first baptism of fire to the East.
Being occupied by activists during the revolutionary street battles in the winter of 2013-14 the house became a center of nationalist volunteer movement, in fact it was first headquarters and training camp for a military formation, that later became the Azov volunteer battalion.
Taras Shevchenko lane 5, namely at this address Ukrainians and even people from abroad had sent their aid in order to provide the volunteers with everything necessary. The Kozatskiy Dim has become an asylum for those patriots from Crimea and Donbass, who lost their homes after the outbreak of war.
Today, after a radical overhaul and modernization made by the activists the Cossack House house has turned into a real social bastion of the Azov movement. Now it is a full-fledged youth complex, which currently gathered within its walls a gym for martial arts, a public print shop, a tattoo-saloon, where are working tattoo artists-veterans of the Azov regiment from Donetsk, Luhansk and Sevastopol. You can also find there a library, a lecture hall, a gaming room and more. In addition, the center includes itself a rehearsal base for young bands, and now it's used by the "Hearts Will Burn" hardcore band.
And not accidentally young people, who gathered to the opening of the Kozatskiy Dim had an opportunity to watch a presentation video about the famous CasaPound Italy (the House of Pound), which had been largely a prototype not only for Ukrainian, but for many social-nationalist oriented movements throughout Europe. As meny of you know the House o Pound is a six-storey building in the heart of Rome, on the Napoleon III street, which has been occupied by the activists in order to provide housing for 20 Italian families. Thus the CasaPound Italy (CPI) activists started a tradition of right squatting and formulated the basic principle of the CPI's social policy : "House for every Italian family!"
Named after the American poet Ezra Pound, the CasaPound movement became a striking embodiment of the new right theory, which pays the lion's share of attention to various socially beneficial and cultural initiatives. The CasaPound's broad social and educational activities includes free recording studio for young bands and lessons of play guitar, bass guitar and drums, promotion of little-known talented authors and organizing presentations of books, theatral performances, concerts and discussion of films own art club, drama school , computer games for children and other forms of child employment for socialization in a decent environment. Sports and encourage sports lifestyle in general is the cornerstone for Casapound. WIthing the movement it represented by an environmental organization "La Foresta Che Avanza" and a tourist project "La Muvra."
Building a movement based on solidarity, mutual support, active positions in all spheres of public life from Internet to tourism that are the pillars of the CasaPound movement, which became a basis for such organisations as the French Mouvement D'action Sociale, the Swedish Nordisk Ungdom, Polish Mlodziez Wszechpolska and Lithuanian Lietuviu Tautinio Jaunimo Sajunga.
Our, Ukrainian Kozatskiy Dim, with its own glorious history, takes its rightful place among the European social movements and is able to become a source of renewal for the entire Ukrainian society. Foreign volunteers and friends are always welcome here!
