Mission Statement
The Kozak is an independent outlet dedicated to commentary and analysis on the United States’ domestic and international affairs. Its mission is to help bridge divisions by fostering a deeper understanding of the political, economic, and cultural forces shaping the nation. Committed to grassroots, honest, and accessible writing for everyday voters, The Kozak maintains complete independence and holds no allegiance to any political party, candidate, or state actor. Instead, all opinions come from the writers.

What Makes The Kozak Different
The Kozak is an independent, founder-run platform. The Kozak is structurally private, with the primary editorial goal of improving the life of the ordinary American as opposed to increasing shareholder value. The Kozak prioritizes the nation’s younger generation, recognizing that their lived experience and future prospects are central to the long-term national stability.

Who Runs The Kozak
Bohdan Tkach is the founder and editor of The Kozak. He is a writer, editor, and publisher. His work is focused on politics, international affairs, technology, history, and religion.

Independence & Funding
The Kozak is independently operated with no affiliation or editorial dependence on any party, corporation, candidate, or government. Funded by donations, the founder’s contributions, and limited advertising revenue, The Kozak is willing to cover topics unfavorable to donors. We pledge not to write advertiser-paid promotional content and commit to full transparency in donation amounts and dates.

What The Kozak is Not
The Kozak is not state propaganda or state-sponsored content and does not produce content tailored to appease any government entity. The Kozak is not a party outlet and is not affiliated with any political party. The Kozak does not suppress its contributors solely for political opinions. The Kozak does not sponsor, produce, or distribute content that is explicitly racist, violent, or designed to cause civil unrest.
