The Kazotsky Kick is an Action taunt for All Classes. It is fairly similar to the Conga, as the player can move around during the taunt, and any number of players can join in. However, unlike the Conga, the player has a choice of standing still, or moving in all eight directions by pressing the corresponding movement keys.

Trivia

  • The name of this taunt is a play on the word Kazatsky, which is a name for a Ukrainian dance known as the Hopac. Another name for this dance is the "Cossack Dance", a term which is commonly misused to describe the type of Russian folk dance this taunt is parodying.
  • The kicking move featured in this taunt is called prisyadka in Russian, which translates roughly to "knee-bending".
  • The Kazotsky Kick was an unused taunt titled "Taunt_Russian" ,which has been in the game files since Scream Fortress 2013.
    • The Heavy, Soldier and Sniper versions of the Kazotsky kick are the only ones that were modified when it was made an official taunt, all other class variants remain unchanged.
  • This music (Soldier of Dance) was first heard in the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive map de_train, coming from a small radio in a cafe upstairs to the right of the Terrorist team's spawn area. It differs from the Team Fortress 2 version in that it is at a slower tempo, and has fewer instruments and no vocal chanting. Due to coming from a radio, it is muffled and has a narrower range of treble and bass.
