This book is an accurate and detailed story about the traditional Russian way: clothes, utensils, jewelry and military armor. Here is a description of the original Russian life, the true embodiment of our original essence and difficult history. In this edition, such specific types of costume as kaftan, one-row, skufya, treukh, malakhay, slash, slap, shishak and others, the names of which are unknown to most of today's Russians, found a place. But in the old days, our great-grandfathers lovingly created, carefully stored and inherited every such thing as the greatest jewel. This volume is additional to the "History of the Culture of the Peoples of the World" by the outstanding German artist and historian Hermann Weiss (1822-1897), professor at the Berlin Academy of Arts.
