A historical event and likely reenactment tied to the Azov Siege Seat of 1637-1642, when Don and Zaporizhian Cossacks held the captured Ottoman fortress of Azov against Turkish forces.
Not verified as a formally named annual public festival under this exact title, but grounded in one of the best-documented episodes in southern Russian Cossack history.
The Azov Siege Seat is a thoroughly documented historical event: Cossacks held a fortress with eleven towers and a 4,000-strong Ottoman garrison's worth of defenses against the Turkish army for five years, on a site with a genuinely layered history running from ancient Greek Tanais through the Golden Horde to an Italian trading colony before the Ottomans fortified it, giving any commemorative festival unusually deep historical material to draw on
The event commemorates the historical defense of Azov by Don and Zaporizhian Cossacks between 1637 and 1642
a foundational episode in Don Cossack military history
