During the meeting the Cossacks decided to establish a local YABLOKO branch. The branch will be headed by Elena Tkachyova. Eugeny Tkachyov also proposed to create Cossacks faction within YABLOKO.

According to Cossacks, YABLOKO is the only party acceptable for them for cooperation: the policies of the ruling United Russia is all lies and hypocrisy, communists were eliminating Cossacks as a class during the Soviet period, the Just Russia party is Rostov is headed by a switcher Mikhail Yemelyanov who has already been a member of two different parties before that.
