There are a number of good clothes in Russia but some of them are popular throughout the world. Undisputed leader among head-dresses is shapka-ushanka. Ushanka got wide spread occurrence during the Russian Civil War of 1918-1919 thanks to Aleksandr Kolchak, the leader of the White Army. At first the cloth "kolchakovka" was worn only by the White Guardists then it took root among the soldiers of the Red Army. In 1934 this headgear became statutory in the Navy and from 1940 the militia and the army. Meanwhile, ushanka actively went out to people and became the most popular winter clothes of Soviet citizens. Both adults and children wore that headgear to escape cold. It was especially seen in the example of cinema: there was an ushanka almost in every soviet New Year's theme film of that period. At the turn of the century a hat with hanging ears turned into a Russian souvenir - foreign tourists saw a real gaping-stock which never met at home. It is safe to say there is no meaning for this headdress in English describing it; There are the terms "shapka" and "ushanka" in the Oxford Dictionary - that's how it's only called all over the world.
My favorite holiday! My favorite holiday is the New Year. I like this New Year, because it's a very cheerful holiday and a wonderful holiday! And also because on this holiday there are the most beautiful things-this is love, kindness, care, cheerfulness, with the main mutual understanding. I do not know how this holiday passes for others, but I always have fun. We are going to the whole family on this holiday every year, and how the kids are all together waiting for 00:00 hours. And as the midnight tries, so immediately we run to blow up salutes. And after the salutes in the sky cease to explode, we all together amicably sit down at one big table. I hope that every person spends this holiday with a happy smile on his face.
