I find all that stuff with uniforms, etc. silly, but I am not one of them, so who am I to tell them?

They are determined to preserve their identity, that goes back hundreds of years and is quite colorful. There are many good things that could be said for them, even considering all the controversy, including the pogroms they were famous for. Many of them were forced to leave their homeland, in particular, during the evacuation from Crimea, under the leadership of Vrangel, and these people are remembered warmly in Europe, where they built many roads and bridges.

Anyway, it IS a fascinating subject... there are many movies on it.
