The Union of Cossacks (UoC) is a movement and armed organization of Russian and Central Asian cossacks established at a conference in Moscow on 28 June 1990, which sought to unite the Cossack forces of the earlier Russian Empire.^[1] The UoC defined itself as pro-communist, in contrast with the Union of Cossack Hosts whose stance favored the Russian Federation and opposed communism.^[2]

The force was sent to Transnistria to fight as volunteers in the Transnistria War from 2 November 1990 to 21 July 1992.^[3]
