Osip Gladky went to Odesa, where he became acquainted with the Cossacks of the Platnirivsky Kuren, subsequently becoming their courteous ataman, and two years later – the ataman of the Zadunayska Sich. Having crossed with his Cossacks to the service of Emperor Nicholas I and the Russian army, Osip Gladky participated in the war against the Ottoman Empire, he descended from the well-deserved fame of the talented commander and was comprehensively encouraged personally by Nicholas, in particular, having obtained the title of nobleman. Staying in Oleksandrivsk (formerly Zaporizhzhia), Osip Mikhailovich died due to illness. The figure of the ataman of the Azov Cossack army looks very impressive and impress with with precise detail.
