The Don Lancers
The Don River was called Tanais by classical writers when it was home to Scythians and Sarmatians. It held a centuries long tradition for mounted warriors armed with lances, as depicted on an ancient bone relic. The Cossacks from the Don also populated new Cossack communities on the Kuban, the Terek in Astrakhan, and the Urals. After the loss of the last Don Cossack state in the Russian revolution, many formed communities elsewhere in Europe and America.

A sport advertising map of the Olympic torch relay route map at the Summer Olympic games held in Berlin (1936). The poster features a map of the route, running from Olympia to Berlin via Athens, Delphi, Thessaloniki, Sofia, Belgrade, Budapest, Vienna, Prague, and Dresden. The 1936 Olympics pioneered the modern convention of moving the flame via a relay system from Greece to the Olympic venue. Nations are depicted in their traditional national clothing.

"...within a period to be estimated by weeks and months rather than by aeons, there has been a fundamental change in the conditions under which life, not simply human life but all self-conscious existence, has been going on since its beginning... this world is at the end of its tether. The end of everything we call life is close at hand and cannot be evaded... there are thousands of mean, perverted, malicious, heedless and cruel individuals coming into the daylight every day, resolute to frustrate the kindlier purposes of man... beings over-running their means of subsistence and thrusting their fellows out of the normal way of life into strange habitats they would never have tolerated..."
