Clothes of the Nekrasov Cossacks in the 19th – 20th centuries: historical and cultural relations and conditions for transformation
The article provides a brief description of the festive and everyday traditional clothing of the Nekrasov Cossacks in the context of the group’s historical and cultural ties. The author analyses ethnographic and dialectological publications, as well as field materials collected by researchers from the Southern Federal University and the Southern Scientific Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences in 2007 – 2016 in the Nekrasov communities of the Krasnodar and Stavropol Regions. The use of an integrated ethnolinguistic approach to the study of language and culture made it possible to present a holistic image of a costume and pay attention to culture-specific details. The changes that appeared in the costume during the 19th – 20th centuries are accentuated. The research has shown that in the beginning, the costume of the Don Cossacks, who formed the basis of the Nekrasov Cossacks community, absorbed the Slavic and Turkic elements; in the Turkish period of the Nekrasovites’ history, the Eastern influence increased, although the key components of the costume remained unchanged. Finally, after the return of the Nekrasovites to their homeland, the complex of traditional clothes was simplified and changed its functions, gaining a foothold in the festive and memorial sphere.
