"A steppe is a steppe is a steppe... . The problems of the cowboy and the Cossack are very similar. They share a love of nature and a love of animals. Their courage and their philosophical attitudes are similar, and the steppes of Russia are much like the prairies of America."
by Dimitri Tiomkin, The Movie Music of Dimitri Tiomkin / 1937-62

After all, he had reason to feel an empathy for the American West. He came from a Big Country too, and in its bigness—particularly its vast all-embracingness of sky and plain—he must have seen a reflection of the steppes of his native Ukraine. So the cowboy becomes a mirror-image of the Cossack: both are primitives and innocents, etched on and dwarfed by a landscape of soul-stirring immensity and rugged masculine beauty.
