The protagonist of the story "The Cossacks," Dmitry Olenin, tired of city life, goes to serve in the Caucasus. Staying in a Greben Cossack village, he enthusiastically embraces his new life and the unfamiliar way of life and customs of the locals.

He wins the trust of a local old-timer, Yeroshka, and falls in love with Maryana, the fiancée of the brave Cossack Lukashka. But his subsequent encounter with harsh reality makes Olenin feel different and alienated from the Cossack race...

Leo Tolstoy served in the Caucasus for three years and later often drew on this period and his experiences in his work.

The collection also includes his novellas and short stories dedicated to the everyday life of the army: "Raid," "Felling the Forest," "The Demoted," "The Prisoner of the Caucasus," and "After the Ball."

The illustrations for the book were created by the winners of the Illustrate Tolstoy competition: Ksenia Vasilyeva (2023–2024 competition), Marina Sergeeva and Anna Kotsemir (2021–2022 competition).
