Traditional Costumes

It has so far been this blog’s policy to normally refrain from personal posts unrelated to language or culture issues. However, on occasion of my birthday, I will make an exception. Attached is a picture of a Cossack, ethnicity or, rather, a cast my ancestors belonged to.

Sadly enough, unlike the traditional Japanese female dress, traditional costume is never worn in modern russia. This is just what it looked like in the 17th century; my grandgrandfather's uniform was also somewhat different.
