Originally established as Defender of the Fatherland Day, a Soviet holiday on February 23, the date was moved to October 14 in 2014 to coincide with the Pokrova and to honor the Cossack military tradition. Since 2014, the day has taken on profound significance as Ukraine's defenders are honored in a war that is ongoing. The Cossack heritage and the modern military are explicitly linked.
