Red masquerading time Civil red was very popular among RKKA fighters. He symbolized the revolution and the young soviet Republic. In addition, he read perfectly at a great distance and helped distinguish his own from strangers. The fighters crossed out any opportunity to decorate their suit with some red thing or a rag, although they violated the statutory form. However, this form existed only on paper. In fact, the supply bodies barely worked, it was necessary to wear that they could get on the front-line warehouses and to withdraw from the population. The artworks themselves composed their shape. And even the battle, deserved commanders in women's coat instead of sinels were confused by anyone - that they were found, they were worn. Good luck was considered to be found on some warehouse solid red fabric. From her sewed spikes, vests, decorated with a cut of the mother's top of dads or conceived them caps. It happened that fighters from the head to the legs were dressed in an improvised shape of red matter.

But Sumy Commandant, Comrade Kin, explained that she dressed them in such a way to distinguish from the "diverse" redarmeys. He was less surprised by the diplomat Mikhailovsky, seeing the fighters of a special squad of the Crimean ChC on the central street of Sevastopol - from head to feet in red and In tall white walkrs on the legs. The diplomat dubbed them with "Redinaceans" - for literary proximity with the heroes of Phoenimor Cooper. Sometimes scarlet shirts, kaftans or sharovars fighters received as a gift from the workers of the rear. For example, the Moscow workers, having learned about the plucker's 51th rifle division, sent gifts to fighters - Kumachovaya gymnasters. Possible, it was this ubiquitous red masquerade inspired by the artist Dmitry Moore for the creation of his famous poster "Did you sign up a volunteer?".

Some parts wore them completely legally. For example, in the spring of 1920, the Red-Gusar Regiment of the Zavolzhsky Brigade assigned to himself an uniform of the 10th Hussar Ingermanland Regiment of the Tsarist Army. It happened because the red hussars stood in the town of Balaklee, in which the Ingermanlanders were located before the revolution. They wore the crap (that is, bright red) chakchira. On warehouses in Balaclay, fighters, to their indescribable joy, discovered large deposits of old major uniforms. good quality And Croy.

But later, the Gusar pants were in Makhnovtsev - they were painted them from the killed red fighters. At the same time, in the 1920s, the coumaches became an element of officially approved uniforms of the RKKA General Staffers. It was generally distinguished by the originality - gray-green caftans on the generous generous, black velvet collars and loops, brightly raspberry shirts, scarlet caps and halifa. Many General strategists did not like this frivolous form. And, if you believe the memories of contemporaries, the officers were carried away from the entire Bhufa props of red caps and halifers. Raspberry cloth, intended for shaped shoes, gave wives, and those sewed themselves spectacular dresses. In addition to red hussar and general stakeholders, Kumachovy Sharovari wore cadets of some military schools, for example, Ryazan cavalry courses, including Georgy Zhukov.

Sharovari cadet Trofimova

The well-known Soviet film "Officers" opens with a spectacular scene. Winter, snowy female column colleague. Before Shero Red Cadets is Alexei Trofimov. Having dried, he listens to the chief. By a snitch team voice, he lists the merits of a well done. The cadet of Trofimov shows labor consciousness and worker-peasant discipline, he is dedicated to the work of the world revolution and understands the current political moment, he distinguished himself during prize shooting. For all this, the cadet is awarded with red revolutionary balls.

Trofimov can not hide pride and happiness. He lies everywhere in Halifa. They make a courageous act - saves the girl from the gangsters. And this heart conquers her heart: the girl becomes the spouse of the valiant cadet. Together they go to the front of the Civil War, in Central Asia.

Trofimov revolutionary balls are not spectacular fiction of scripts. They were really handed to fighters for important merits. But the red sharovars were not only premium. And the attitude towards them at the front was not always positive.

Red Masquerade

During the civilian red color was very popular among RKKA fighters. He symbolized the revolution and the young Soviet Republic. In addition, he read perfectly at a great distance and helped distinguish his own from strangers. The fighters crossed out any opportunity to decorate their suit with some red thing or a rag, although they violated the statutory form. However, this form existed only on paper. In fact, the supply authorities barely worked, it was necessary to wear something that could get on the front-line warehouses and to withdraw from the population.

The Red Army teams composed their shape. And even the combat, deserved commanders in women's coat instead of sinels were confused by anyone - what they found, they were put on.

Special luck was considered to be found on some warehouse a solid red fabric. From her sewed spikes, vests, decorated with a cut of the mother's top of dads or conceived them caps. It happened that fighters from the head to the legs were dressed in an improvised shape of red matter.


Journalist Nikolay Ravich, a participant in the Civil War, recalled that in the city of Sumy, a patrol commandant squadron arrived to him - check documents. Their view was impressed - scarlet caftans, red halifes, caps with red near. And even the boots were a brick shade. Ravich, of course, noticed that such bright patrols would be a good target. But the Sumy Commander, Comrade Kin, explained that she dressed them so to distinguish from the "diverse" redarmeys.

No less surprised by a diplomat Mikhailovsky, seeing the fighters of a special squad of the Crimean CC on the central street of Sevastopol, and the fighters of a special squad of the Crimean CC - from head to legs in red and in high white walkrs on their feet. The diplomat dubbed them with "Redinaceans" - for literary proximity with the heroes of Phoenimor Cooper.

Sometimes scarlet shirts, kaftans or sharovars fighters received as a gift from the workers of the rear. For example, Moscow workers, having learned about the pluckers of the 51st Rifucher Division, sent gifts to fighters - Kumachovaya gymnasters.

Perhaps it is this ubiquitous red masquerade that inspired the artist Dmitry Moore for the creation of his famous poster in 1920, "you wrote down by a volunteer?". The fighter is dressed almost the same as Sumy patrol and fighters of the Crimean CC. All on him islas - and Budenovka with a star, and a shirt, and harshs.


"Redrestanists"

Kumaches, however, were not only a military masquerade and a forced "unwarked". Some parts wore them completely legally. For example, in the spring of 1920, the Red-Gusar Regiment of the Zavolzhsky Brigade assigned to himself an uniform of the 10th Hussar Ingermanland Regiment of the Tsarist Army. It happened because the red hussars stood in the town of Balaklee, in which the Ingermanlanders were located before the revolution. They wore crap (that is, bright red) chakchirs.

In warehouses in Balaclay, the fighters, to their indescribable joy, discovered large deposits of the old corrupt uniform of good quality and cut. Red contesions were transformed into the theater imperial hussar, noodles blue embroidered cords dolomans and crap chakchirs. But later, the Gusar pants were in Makhnovtsev - they were painted them from the killed red fighters.

At the same time, in the 1920s, the coumaches became an element of officially approved uniforms of the RKKA General Staffers. It was generally distinguished by the originality - gray-green caftans on the generous generous, black velvet collars and loops, brightly raspberry shirts, scarlet caps and halifa. Many General strategists did not like this frivolous form. And, if you believe the memories of contemporaries, the officers were carried away from the entire Bhufa props of red caps and halifers. The raspberry cloth, intended for shaped shoes, was given to wives, and those sewed their spectacular dresses.

In addition to the Red Hussar and the General stakeholders, the Kumaches were cadets of some military schools, such as Ryazan cavalry courses, including Georgy Zhukov.

At the front, the attitude towards young cadets and staff officers in red harsheds was sometimes negative. The fighters were called the derogatory "redstation". Zhukov, who had just ended the courses and arrived in his new part, was met by the dead words of the regiment commander: "My fighters do not like commanders in red pants." The young commander had to explain to his subordinates that these sharovar was given to him the homeland and his others he had.

The negative attitude towards the "redstation" is also in the notes of Isaac Babel. He called the officers, "red pants", "small headquarters". And by this expressed the general opinion of the first equestrian fighters, with which the writer participated in the Soviet-Polish war.


Cutout cloth as a reward

Civil war - conflicting time. "Redrestants" did not love. But at the same time, Kumachov revolutionary sharovar was awarded for valor.

But why handed pants? The answer is simple. The premium system of the Red Army was only formed. The fighters were poorly dressed and shod. Get the Order, of course, honorable. But it's more practical to get a good kinder thing from the commander. And therefore, redarmeys often awarded clocks, boots, saddles, bekeshams, shirts, cuts of cloth or dense silk. Some were encouraged even with antiques. Historian Andrei Ganin in the book dedicated to the RKKE General Staffers, mentions the Golden Tabakcoque of Catherine II, which was presented to one of the prominent military officers of the Red Army of the Ratcheli brothers.

In the first equestrian army, the seeds of Budenny practiced rewarding with red shoards. It is known that the Usatar teammarm personally issued a Valiant Cavalerist Konstantin inexpensive revolutionary Galife for heroism, manifested in battles with Wrangel. The same award was received by the commander of the 2nd Battery of the 6th Horse-Artillery Division of Nalyvayko - "for the dedication of the revolution and the skillful command of the battery."

But such spectacular awards, as in the film "Officers", was in line. And the reason for finding on the front of the Civil War Red Good Quality Pants was not easy. The fighters, of course, were rejoiced when the commanders gave them crap hussar chakchirs or a cloud-born, as stitched halifa. But more often, the redarmeys received the sharovar themselves as a reward, but a cut of coumaches.

Orders about such awards in the archives a lot. Historian Alexey Stepanov, for example, found a curious document. It describes the selfless work of Comrade Gabyadulin from the 1st Bukhar Rifle Regiment, who diligently taught young Red Army. For this, he was awarded "cut of scarlet cloth on trousers." Order dated 1923. The civil war ended, but the commanders continued to reward distinguished by the pants and scarias. Red revolutionary sharovars remained award-winning civil war and a symbol of a young red army.

In red revolutionary pants

Recently, a fashionable attribute of the civil war is becoming a fashionable attribute to the left youth.
The most creative student got a special reward - famous red revolutionary pants. This year, he was the chairman of the housing and consumer commission of the trade university of students, the author of the project "Life Life" Vladislav Schwar.


How did these pants appear? What did they really look like?

Unfortunately the overwhelming majority of photos of this period were black and white, and it is difficult to disassemble these heroic pants on some. Therefore, I give an illustration.

Combrig Kotovsky

Red revolutionary pants were issued by a little, distinguished in the battles of the Red Armyians, and the person who wears them, highly stand out from the crowd, had privileges. To avoid fraud, a document certifying the right to wear them was attached to the harenar.
In Kiev after the departure of the Germans in 1918, the uniforms of the Austrian Gusar remained in warehouses. I assume that pants from this uniform and were used to award.

In this picture two in Hungarian uniform

Most likely, a more election option with embroidery was used for awarding, which confirms the fighter of the Popandopulon, in the passage of the video from the artistic film "Wedding in Malinovka". The film was released on the screens in 1967, when there were many more participants in that war and they noted that although in the plot of this cinema, his squad (gang) was a Belog Guard, most likely it was one of the many Ukrainian detachments, which were periodically even redarmes , then independent. If the carrier of such pants got into the hands of the White Guards, or the nationalists, it would be unlikely to be shot.

Excerpt from video.

I hope that this publication will allow the Komsomolets to establish the faithful historical style of the legendary pants.

Red Commissioner Dunkevich in battle 1929

From the Babel's diary about the Polish campaign of the Budenny, from which it is clear that the Red Pants, not ordinary redarmeys awarded in most.

"Highway, wire, cuttered forests, and despondency, despondencyless. There is nothing to hope not for that, war, all the same bad, equally strangers, hostile, wild, was quiet and most importantly, the tradition of life.
Budennovtsy on the streets. In stores - only a car, the hairdressers are open. In the bazaar at Megher - carrots, all the time it is raining, a continuous, piercing, suffocating. Unbearable longing, people and souls killed ...
... in the headquarters - red pants, self-confidence, the minor coupling, the mass of young people, among them and the Jews, are at the personal disposal of Comandarm and take care of food ... "

Mention meets that personally, Trotsky himself awarded such a pants.

Olga Khoroshilova

"Who was nothing, he will become everyone!" - This quote from the revolutionary song "Internationale" could be used as an epigraph to material about the history of trousers. As well as biblical "and the latter will become the first." Ordinary pants can serve as an excellent example of how dubious becomes normal, socially unacceptable - socially approved. "This, at first glance, the simple thing has nevertheless an unusual story: because pants are not only clothes, it's also a symbol," writes the French cultureologist Christine Bar in the book "Political History of Trousers", which a few years ago came out on in Russian. This work is limited by the history of France of the last two centuries and the problem of female equality. We will look at trousers from the height of all human civilization.

Man sits on a horse

// VI-I thousand BC e. They were the first

Pants - not such a banal thing. Perhaps this innovation would not be implemented if a person did not start domesticating a horse. Jumping more comfortable when the legs are covered with separate brings. Probably, the first contesions seemed strange people. But after centuries, it was the cavalry that will become a shock force of the army, and the hordes of nomads will be horrified on the whole Eurasia. The most ancient are the wool pants found recently during the excavations in the west of China. Their estimated age is 3,000 years. Most likely, they belonged to the Asian nomad.

Elevation of Assyria

// IX century BC e. Women's harenaries

Assyria. In the 9th century BC, this state is experiencing his second flourishing, turning into the world's first empire. It is the Assyrians begin to systematically use Connitsa in wars. It is believed that women's pants appeared. They were carried by the legendary government of Semiramid (her historical prototype - Assyrian Queen Shammuramat). During equestrian hikes, she pulled the long hemp of belts, and something like a sharovar opened. Fashion trend remained in the east of many centuries. "And the old woman took things and left, leaving a woman in a shirt and pants ..." - We read in the fairy tales "thousands and one night". Most likely, we are talking about sharovars - wide translucent pants collected on the ankles.

Sunset of the Roman Empire

// III-V century. Barbaric pants

Late Rome. The boundaries of the Empire are cracking under the head of the barbarians: the Germans, the Slavs who came from the depths of Asia Gunnov. Some of them are included in Roman life - become military, officials. About such indigenous citizens are contemptuously spoken: "Recently, pants removed" - in meaning it is a cross between "from the dirt in the prince" and "peep here." The fact is that the pants were considered a purely barbaric clothing, which should not be decent patricium. However, soon the military began to wear short woolen pants under the traditional tunic: in the cool time it saved from the cold, and the riders approved. And then the Roman Empire crumbled. And wild barbarians in the pants began to build Europe.

French revolution

// 1789-1793. Proshirotina make history

On the streets of Paris rages the Great french revolution. Freedom, equality, fraternity and other beautiful words. Home Actual Force - Santellotes. Initially, it was a contemptuous nickname that aristocrats were given to representatives of mobiles. The word comes from the French Sans Culotte, that is, "without Cusls." In the XVII-XVIII centuries, the aristocrats men wore cuhloti - short, staging with velvet or suede kneel. And the commoner (cattle in modern) put on long pants from coarse matter like those now worry. Then the aristocrats began to be methodically chopped heads, and the word "santenotes" began to use pride - to designate the rebel people. "Suit and the image of Sanahlotte rightfully remains in the memory of Republicans and workers, because they symbolize the transition from one world to another, from one system of values \u200b\u200bto the other. The spread of one object of clothing, in this case, the trousers, on the social staircase from the bottom up - in itself a rather rare event, and therefore it is not necessary to neglect its symbolic content, "writes Christine Bar in his" political history of trousers. "

Europe: ships and factory

// Second half of the XIX century. Random fold

Western Europe turns into a world factory. The industrial revolution concerns and clothing production - it can now be done more, faster, better. Britain and other countries actively export their products by sea, the benefit almost the entire globe is already covered by the colonies. To save space in the holds, pants are twice and laid as close as possible. Formed fold-arrows smoothed with difficulty. Then the entrepreneurs and turn the small disadvantage of the fashionable novelty (modern programmers in such cases say that this is not a bug, but a feature).

Epoch of Cowboys and Steamers

// 60-90s of the XIX century. Birth of jeans

Look around: Surely you will see at least one person in blue or blue jeans that have become one of the most popular types of clothing in the entire history of mankind. It is believed that the first jeans created Levai Strauss in 1853. But it is unlikely that they would acquire such popularity if several factors did not immediately coincide. First, the gold fever in the West of the United States (1848-1860) - the first buyers were precisely the prospectors. Secondly, the mass spread of steamers (from the middle of the XIX century) - the capacity of factories producing sails were released. Thirdly, the synthesis of artificial indigo (1880) is ensured by the cheapness of the dye. Fourth, the end of the Civil War in the United States and the beginning of the era of Cowboys (1865-1885), at least the third of which were liberated by blacks, - it was with the cowboys who began to associate jeans over time ... and then more advertising, films, training ranch for children. And the same tendency: the first consumers of jeans were beggar shepherds and gold kits - now this clothing is considered normal even for millionaires.

October Revolution and Civil War

// 1917-1922. Red sharovari

"Krasnoamec trophimov for outstanding successes in combat and political training, as well as for the understanding of the current moment, awarded with red revolutionary sharovar!" - announces voice over the scenes, and a wide smile appears on the face of a young fighter. From this episode, the Soviet film "Officers" begins. Where did these balls come from? During the civil war, it was necessary to somehow reward the Red Army teams, but there were no more medals, and not everyone had enough hours and personal weapons. Then the cuty Bolsheviks remembered that the red cavalry pants remained in the warehouses of the royal army! They began to reward for tact exploits. "Red revolutionary sharovars" allocated their lucky owner, they treated him with special respect. To such pants, even the document was attached, certifying the right to wearing.

New victories of feminism

// 60s XX century. Pants enough for everyone

"Serve their body, their gestures, their poses, their lives. I wanted to accompany them in this great liberation movement, - wrote the famous fashion designer Yves Saint-Laurent. - I tell myself that I am invented by a wardrobe modern womanthat I participated in the transformations of my time. " It was he who introduced the style of unisex, including women's pants. The conservative society resisted.
