Abstract

In the article such aspect of everyday life of Orenburg Cossacks as schooling is presented. The author notes that despite the increase of number of schools in the second half of the nineteenth century the attitude of Orenburg Cossacks to school, teachers, to scientific knowledge was twofold: one has seen a benefit in it, others have noticed encumbrance and burden. The author describes the process of training and education in the Cossacks environment from the gender point of view. The girls’ desire to go to school was very often suppressed by parents, especially by mothers, for whom the daughter has been the main domestic assistant.
