My Name is Valeri. I am dedicated to the Russian Winter Hat – Ushanka.
Ushanka literally translates as “ear-flaps hat”.
Ushanka is a distinctly Russian hat. Ushankas are a common part of the winter uniforms of police forces and military in temperate countries, such as Russia and Canada. Fur hats of similar design are common throughout China, Chile, Eastern Europe and North Korea. Ushankas are also seen in North American cities during cold winter months.
I spent hours on the Internet gathering bits of information on the history of famous Russian Ushanka; photographs, articles, stories, etc.
I hope you will enjoy it.
