DSMS supported a Cossack Odyssey from Regensburg (Germany) to Odessa (Ukraine) from 2008 to 2010.Cossackdom sees itself as «the invincible source of history of the Ukrainian people», history which was written throughout centuries and now endures revival. With this campaign on a boat from Regensburg (Twin-city of Odessa) participants wanted to refresh Cossacks understanding in memory of the Danube countries. On a boat which is made of one log, certainly, it is impossible to transport big cargoes. Only the small team is located on this boat, it moves by means of a wind or oars. Till 2010 the Cossack team managed to make 2350 km to Ovidiopol in Ukraine and brought a part of the Cossack history to the countries located along Danube.
