Typical costumes of the Cossacks

Cossacks

It is one of the peoples with which we most identify the Russian people: the Cossacks; either for its cinema or literature where they stand out for their dances and traditional costumes. Regarding clothing, we tell you that your suits are the kaftan (a type of jacket) or the cherkesska, a long tunic with attached holsters.

They also use the papakha, a type of fur cap, or the bashlik, a kind of hood that was normally worn on the shoulders. The chronicles relate that the ancient Cossacks of the time of the Tsars were distinguished by blue pants with a red stripe, which in ancient times meant "duty free."

It should be noted that this town has an enormous repertoire of songs and dances, and its craftsmanship in knives was legendary, such as the kinzhal (dagger) and the shashka (saber). In addition, it must be added that Cossacks are experts in the equestrian arts with which they demonstrate their skill with acrobatics and mastery of the horse.

    I do not think that Russia must have more typical costumes because in Colombia we love the country of Rudsi a lot and for one look for typical costumes and only have one that is not worth it
