Abstract:
During the Civil War, the Don Cossacks and officers, rebelled against the Bolsheviks, put forward against their enemy the most numerous of white armies in the South of Russia. The Cossacks had enough manpower to create their own army, but they didn't have personnel for a sufficient number of technical parts, engineering parts and aircraft. However, the Don Army, as the anti-Bolshevik army, won the support of other opponents of the new Russian regime and admited them into their ranks. The Don Army was not purely Cossacks military body. Many officers and generals of the General staff of the Russian Empire found a refuge in the ranks of the Don Army. They made up a significant portion of the staff officers, officers, who were not Cossacks by origin, accounted for most of the command staff technical parts, counterintelligence, and served in the cavalry and Cossacks infantry units. Some units of the Don Army have been created from the local farmers and people of neighboring provinces, but they were not numerous. Relying on these elements some regiments of the old Imperial Russian Army were restored in the ranks of the Don Army. The military units on religious grounds and military units of students were created. The Kalmyks, who had the status of the Don Cossacks, were collected in separate regiments. However, all the time of the civil war the Don Cossacks were the most significant part of the army.

Abstract:
Russia tended to strengthen political and cultural connections with Arabian East since reign of princeVladimir. By XII century pilgrimages to Jerusalem became massive. This fact is reflected in “The hegumen Daniil purgatory”. In 1882 the Imperial Orthodox Palestine Society was created in Russia. It was the first Russian organization which was rending support to pilgrims to the Holy Land and was engaging the stable work on spreading and strengthening of Orthodoxy (Eastern Christianity) and – wider – of Russian culture among the Arabs. The society contained a great amount of schools in which thousands of the Arab children were educated. Besides the Arab teachers the Russian ones came too. In the schools of the Society the great significance was given to learning of Russian language and literature. Attachment to the Russian classics was broadening spiritual outlook of students and was making the way out into the cultural space easier. Male and female seminaries for preparing school teachers were opened. The educative process was conducting only in Russian. The best certificated seminary graduates were headed to Russia to continue their education. In madrasah Moscoviye, Russian schools, the students and teachers were reading the magazine Niva, works of Tolstoy, Turgenev and Chekhov. At the end of XIX century, the school graduates of Palestine society became the first translators who were translating Russian writers not from the Western translations, but directly from Russian language. Russian literature got free of intermediary in literature and language which was representing view on it. Afterwards some school graduates of the Society became teachers in St. Petersburg and Moscow universities, promoting the development of Russian oriental studies.
