A '''stanitsa''' ({{lang-rus|станица|p=stɐˈnʲitsə}}; {{lang-uk|станиця|stanytsyastanytsia}}) is a village inside a [[Cossack host]] ({{lang-uk|військо|viys’ko}}; {{lang-ru|казачье войско|kazach’ye voysko}}, sometimes translated as "Cossack Army"). Stanitsas ({{lang-ru|станицы|stanitsy}}) — Cossack military settlements — were the primary unit of Cossack hosts.
 
While the word ''stanitsa'' survives in modern usage, the stanitsa as a social system in its historic context was effectively destroyed in the aftermath of the 1917 [[October Revolution|Russian revolution]], when the [[Russian Civil War]] (1917–1922) and subsequent [[Collectivisation in the USSR|collectivisation]] (1928–1940) of the land by the state in the [[Joseph Stalin|Stalin]]ist period and the [[Holodomor]] (1932–1933) destroyed the culture and the economic foundations of stanitsas.
