Hello my friends!
In continuation of the ‘Russian’ topic, I decided to post the authentic picture of me. By ‘authentic’, I mean the picture, which reflects my national background at its best. For that, I included 2 necessary items: the fur hat and the legendary capet on the wall.
You definitely saw a similar type of the hat in movies, pictures of older times, etc. The hat immediately triggers the particular stereotypes about the culture.
The carpet on the wall probably requires more clarification. In later Soviet Union times (and actually in some houses still!), the carpets were used to decorate the wall. Every house, had at least one room a carpet hanging. The carpets also had a function to reduce the noise from neighbours, as the wall were not that thick in some cases. This is how the carpet become a notable interior item, depicting the whole epoch.
What about my Eastern European friends? Did you also have a trend of the carpet on the wall?

That syle hats are called, or was called, Nikitas, Nikita from the president Nikita Hrutsev. That carpet style we dont´t have here, but almost the same, big gobelines on the walls, they are thinner than carpets.

I did not know that the hats are called after Nikita Hrutsev. He was a contradictory, but definitely a remarkable guy. I saw gobelines, but they are usually of a very calm pastel colour. Russian carperts are on the opposite full of patterns and colours, which is ridiculous because they make rooms seem even smaller than they are. But it’s the history of fashion. 🙂

The hat looks good on you! I didn’t know about the carpets on the wall. I guess it’s similar to the tapestries they used in the olden days.

Cute, and nice hat! Carpet on the wall gives me ideas. I need to insulate a corner wall from the neighbor’s door closing noise. Not sure my lady will go for that, however. Hmm…
