Very Cossack-Czarist-Peasant look to it ... I think I remember seeing this style shirt in the opening chapters of "Quiet Flows the Don" , a great movie about Cossack life from 1914 - the 30's.

Ah - valyenki are for just when it gets really cold. Only below -15C will you really see anyone wearing them. There are Narodnaya gruppa in Russia who also learn traditional dances and songs.  |

This is a peasant "Gymnastiorka", and is very Tsarist in its design. Not saying that you shouldn't get it, but it really isn't an undergarment, it is an "off duty" shirt, or a "Partizan" shirt, not so much an undershirt.

Ironically, I am glad to see capitalism taking off in Russia and the other former USSR republics, as it is making it easier for us to get the stuff we need to do this hobby ! and the more the west buys their stuff, the more is becoming available on line and esp on ebay, and that includes all the other items for displays and such, and these cultural items. Trade is good !
I hope to get a balalaika some day to play around the campfire!

I thought I read someplace that the Russians had an assortment of instruments at there disposal. I also read that they had harmonicas (which i play) is this tru? Does anyone know?
Comrade Zayats? Have you heard of this at all? I know the accordian is popular. As well as the guitar type dealies but a harmonica. Now that would be different. Just a lil something extra to add to the impression i thought. For some "pocket stuffs".

There's lots of obscure folk instruments but the ones normally seen are bayans and garmoshye (which are types of accordions) and the guitar and balalaika of course, but harmonicas?
Hmm, you get lots of dig-up ones for sale, but they've all come from the Nyemsi.
During the war it was mainly bayans and guitars that they had for music.
