One more post dedicated to traditional costume of Russia. These photos were taken in 1979 by Aleksandr Bozhko during ethnographic expedition around different regions of Russia. The costumes themselves date mostly from the 19th - early 20th centuries and are from the collections of different ethnographic museums of Russia.

What a glorious topic, thank you, Olga! Aren't they all beauties? I am a little bit familiar with our folk costumes as I studied folklore and also learned about costumes from Juliana, our local Russian ethnic singer (she is amazing - she always wears authentic Russian costumes which are a few hundreds year old at her concerts, I wrote articles about her a couple of times). These photos are so heartfelt and beautiful, the costumes are rich, and the girls are beautiful.
