The Don Cossack Host asked Governor Vladimir Chub of Rostov Oblast to establish a Cossack cultural centre in Novocherkassk. Vladimir Voronin, Deputy Ataman of the Don Cossack Host for Ideological Affairs, said, “For Cossacks, the Don land is like Mecca for the Muslims. It often happens that Cossacks come to us to learn and to share experiences, but there’s nowhere that we can go to teach them other than the Museum in Novocherkassk“. He noted that the Don Cossack Host Cultural Centre should gather all the significant literature related to the Cossacks and their folkways. In addition, the centre would be able to bring together Cossack artistic ensembles that are now under the Ministry of Culture or independent.
