[QUOTE="dragoner, post: 8477097, member: 6943731"] The Crimean Tatars took 20,000 Ukrainians/Slavs in slave raids until Peter the Great stopped them by attacking the Ukraine in the 17th-18th century, Russia still lost the war, the final part was in the 19th century, the Crimean War, that was the end. Yeah, you never want to call Cossacks barbarians. Even I have had to hear how Russians aren't really Europeans, or the scratch a Russian and you find a Tatar.
