[lbo-talk] Anthro/ethnography query

[Chris Doss]

I was babbling on here about the Cossacks a while ago, and the thought 
occurs to me: Does anyone know of any other instances in history in which a 
group that was artifically created by a state (in this case, for military 
purposes) over time developed into a group that considers itself to be an 
separate ethnicity? I would think it's a pretty singular development.

Cossacks tend to vote Communist, by the way.
