Fun fact, Indie - the piece of cloth, that was used instead of socks by the Russian military is called a Portyanka and was actually used by Russian troops for centuries up until only a few years ago. It was not only comfortable but also practical, as my grandfather (who served in the Red Army for a fair while) tells me. Mainly because it was also waterproof. If the foot got wet for whatever reason, the soldier could always just take off the portyanka, flip it and use the other, dry, side.
I have done the military stage myself (not in Russia), and the best ever to wear in the army boots were not the socks. The socks actually could harm/injure me. Some thicker cloth or very thick socks was way better than the regular socks. The army provided me with one pair of thick (very thick) socks - they were absolutely amazing, very-very comfortable in the army boots, I wore them until they were unrecognizable. After that I had to "compensate" the loss, avoid the regular socks, the thick cloth being the best replacement. It "all" happened in 2004.
Can confirm does work.
NASA, spends thousands of dollars to develop a pen that works in zero gravity.
Roscosmos, uses pencils.
Olaf Von Hambergler they still had to develop special pencils due to the graphite particles floating in zero gravity
Olaf Von Hambergler but if the tip breaks the lead could go into ur nose which is why they spent a fortune
As a russian speaker I find your pronunciation very funny but accurate. The problem with stresses though. Great job Indy and the Team, thank you from Moscow)
You don't want to start it))
Instead - here some curious fact
They say that Lewis Carroll , while travelling across Russia, recorded the Russian word "защищающихся" ('those who protect themselves', participle, genitive/possessive case, as he marked in his diary). He recorded it in Latin transcription instead of Cyrillic, and the look of this word is truly terrifying: zаshtshееshtshауоуshtshееkhsуа.
I was really surprised when he said "сапоги" because I always thought that it was the same word as boots and "фуражка" in russian means a cap, so it is a bit weird for me as another russian speaker, but hey you learn something new every day, right?
You're right, that is terrifying. I would like to see that thrown out at a spelling bee, or even better, at our next presidential debate. :)
The pronounciations are really weird but I also find them as accurate as possible. Didn't know what a гимнастьорка was and I had seen in before in a Strugartski book but now I know :) Also, at least in Bulgaria the cloth wrappings around your foor are called "partenki".
the transcription method Carroll used is really cumbersome, it looks a bit better if written with the modern method: zaschischayuschihsya
Fun fact. The Pavlovsky Grenadiers were exempted from wearing the peaked cap. They wore the tall mitre caps from the Napoleonic era. Tsar Alexander I acknowledged their bravery in the Napoleonic wars by keeping their bullet riddled caps.
For those who study the Russian WW1 uniform - FRONTOVIK - This is not a rank or title of a regiment. This is the unofficial name for a soldier or officer who has been in a war and has combat experience. In uniform, they were no different from the other. But the best of them sewed on the sleeve the combat badge of the storm regiments - skull and crossbones on a blue background.
I literally just finished painting several hundred Russian WW1 miniatures last night, after a gruelling month long project. All done ... and then this video comes out !!!
Really great info that is actually really hard to research. Thx. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
axis and allies 1914? :)
+Aleksandar Milojkovic central, axis was WWII
Bit of overkill for A&A .. these are all 15mm metal miniatures for tabletop gaming, in 1914 kit. Bit of cavalry and cossacks with lances as well, fire support courtesy of Putilov field guns and a few maxims.
For posterity .. for the uniform base I used a custom mix through the airbrush from a light olive khaki through to a lighter hemp color on the tunics. Vallejo "concrete" airbrush color worked out really well too. Summer uniform mix for action in the Balkans.
Made sure that there is plenty of variation across the figures, as they are supposed to look battle worn. Trousers a darker shade of brown khaki. At 15mm scale, you need to go a bit heavier on the color contrast to make them "pop" sufficiently. Gotta organise photos when I get some time.
Pretty happy with the end result, but man ... having this video available a month ago would have saved me a tonne of research.
Next up - doing some 1914 Serbians, and Im thinking they need a greenish gray sort of color. Again - hard to find reliable info.
He's referring to the board game Axis & Allies, where you can use miniatures to play.
+Dubspool _ thats the name of the board game. their first A&A was ww2. google it, its a good game
Basically, from the sound of it, the uniforms and kit of the Russian Imperial Army troops were pretty decent and practical-so long as logistical and supply difficulties don’t prevent the troops from receiving the items called for in their regulations.
A gas mask originally designed to purify vodka...
Bet that never got abused.
It's hard to abuse if you don't actually have any vodla ingredients.
they drank medicinal alcohol which was died so they use bread or gas mask charcoal to remove the die
andrew brindescu
Sounds like Russia alright.
''vodka ingredients'' were and are just sugar and potatoes, somewhat cruel if you ask me but to lighten up your typical day in the trenches i'd probably do the same.
Alex Krycek we use to do the same. We drank anything we could laid hands on. Same times we caramel sugar and put medicinal alchool over to kill the taste

Wrapping a piece of cloth around feet was probably widespread even 50 years later in the Warsaw pact armies. My grandfather served in the Czechoslovak army, and even my father, who served after the iron curtain fell was instructed to wrap them, among other things. I love the specials you make, although almost every episode feels special.

Indy please do Ottoman uniforms of The Great War
cemo1999 ye
yah
That would actually be pretty cool, I don't think many people know the history behind Ottoman uniforms!
A lot of the info on uniforms is done by fans, most of that info is in a foreign language that the crew probably doesn't know. Know anyone who has research the uniforms translated?
There is a great site for ttoman uniforms and it is in english
www.ottoman-uniforms.com/ww1-1915-to-1918-period-turkish-uniforms/
www.ottoman-uniforms.com/ww1-turkish-rank-insignia/
I have not seen a photo of my grandfather in his uniform except one of him standing in a group in front of a pile of rubble but that would have been taken after the Russian collapse and the wars of national identity had begun. Probably, they were all lost in WW2. My father had a document from the Imperial Russian Army about his father's marriage in 1916- plenty of appreciative words about the bride- none about him! That's the way it is if you are a staff officer at least he wasn't shot by his own men- as Lenin encouraged the ordinary soldiers to do.
I was always wondering how could they manage with those pieces of clothing that they were wrapping around their feet. It doesn't sound to be wearable though :)
Well, apparently it's more comfortable than socks could ever be if done right.
wow, I think I should try it :)
We had them in the Swedish army as a complement to socks until late 70’s, if you learn to wrap them the right way they are more comfortable and warmer than socks.
Russians had the best looking uniforms in my opinion .
Their uniforms could have a ruggedly smart appearance, though the soldiers of all the armies tended to look a bit like vagrants when wearing overcoats.
Too bad most of the soldiers wore rags
Поверь! Полезная штука! Сам носил!
They did there my favourite military unifr ms besides the 19th century British army uniforms and us cavalry.
Germany?
Did any nation's soldiers swap their footwear for the cardboard soled shoes of Hötzendorf's troops during his Carpathian winter offensives ?
then they can´t have hade anything to swap out.
WHAT they used shoes HOETZENDORF !!!
Maybe you could use them on your days off to confuse the muggers?
nimeq
even my worst shoes are better then cardbord
Better than wearing Crocs.
4.16 those stripes of cloth are called "portyanki" (портянки). I used to wear them too when I was in the army. They really made boots wearable
Hi Indy, you stated in your intro that "to this day no military has adopted a single uniform". Just thought I would correct you:- When the Canadian Armed Forces amalgamated in 1968 they adopted a single 'rifle green' uniform for all services, (prior to this the uniforms were copies of the British). the all green was not very popular, especially with the navy, and at the end of the 1980s the forces reverted to their distinctive and separate uniforms.
Ah the Canadian exception then. Interesting that they tried, it makes a lot of sense but it's understandable that it's not just a piece of clothing for the people wearing it.
Should have also mentioned the iconic fashion of wearing the rolled up greatcoat over the shoulder during the summer.
I'm surprised the famous "veshchmeshok" or rucksack wasn't mentioned.
Will you guys do an episode on Japanese uniforms in WW1?
Great stuff as usual!
Thank you for such informative videos!

Hey Indie, great job on this channel. It has grown a lot
Actually only Russian Expedition Corp soldiers used French helmets. As you can see on 2:43 photo there is a Russian emblem at the front. During WWI none else Russian Army corp didn't use helmets, none 'elite troops and officers'
Fantastic video Indy!
I got to the end of the video waiting for 3 or 4 hours of, "Ok, uniform number 371, Machine gunners: the cap was..."
I have waited for this episode! I'm sure its going to be great, same as any other episode of the show!
My father said that the piece of cloth was way more comfortable and even warmer than socks.
But like you said, it had to be done properly. He said about half of his company had sore, even bloody feet for about half a year, until they learnd to do it right. Only officers were allowed to wear socks.
Granted, he wore them in the late 70s while serving in the Red Army, but I guess a piece of cloth is a piece of cloth.
As a man who served in the Soviet Army and wore footcloths, I can say that there is nothing difficult about this. You can learn how to do it right pretty quickly and easily.
Excellent episode! Great work putting so much into so little time. I can't wait for the next uniform special!
Fun fact: The Russian Army only replaced foot wraps with socks in 2013.
Excellent video!!!
This was absolutely excellent! Well Done!
Another great episode!
Thank you for mentioning the lack of socks. It's one of those little factoids that continuously blows my mind.
Your commentary was gold Indy, thanks for the bonus laughs.
Pictures do not match hat names.
Papakha for soldiers (do not confuse with Cossack papakha) was a hat made of woolen fabric with a fur edge that could be lowered down and covered the neck and face, leaving only a gap for the eyes.
Bashlik is not a hat, but a triangular hood with long ends that are tied around the neck like a scarf. worn over a hat, for example furajka or papakha.
Hi Indy. Amazing video.
And don't forget that the Terek and Kuban cossacks wore Caucasian traditional garments called Cherkeska.
Terek and Kuban cossacks started use the Cherkeska end of 18 centuries, before they use traditional Ukraine Clothes , all Cossacks was ethnic Ukraine they language Ukraine is well you can check if you want .
Regards
@@volodimirkravcsuk4805 that's laughably incorrect, considering cossack hosts were composite groups of varying people with heavy influences from non-Slavs. It's one thing to talk about say, Zaporozhians, and another about Terek. The latter is very much NOT Ukrainian. Sorry.
@@volodimirkravcsuk4805yeah there is very few cossacks in proportion who were actually from ukraine
Nice video, keep it up!
Love your show.
This show gets better and better
Thinking about it, is there any Great War video on Czechslovakian legion in Siberia? Because that's one hell of a story!
That really is! Czechoslovakian legion helped us to fight against bolsheviks and liberated many cities in Siberia. As a russian I'm proud of them, they were the real heroes. And we have lots of monuments of this legion here in Russia, because they did deserve it.
Real slavs, thanks and much love from Russia
@@danieleboch3224
ну ты и дурак
One thing I love best about this channel is I learn so much more than battles or famous dates Would never dreamed that so many different uniforms were made for the Russians I can't recommend your channel so highly to people I know Look forward to learning so much more over next two years
peace of clothes, instead of socks, are called "portyanki", and Russian army, fleet and air forces used them until 2000's, when they were replaced by socks.
Well done
Фуражка, гимнастёрка, шинель, сапоги, фронтовик, башлык, папаха. Я ничего не забыл? Ах, да - портянка!
Трехлинейку возьми! И саперку не забудь.
Wow i. Can't believe that they respond to the comments! Good on ya The Great War
Well, what are they good for if you don't use them?
Hey Indy, I love your videos (I joined from the Battlefield 1 bandwagon but have since caught up on all of your videos). I was wondering if you planned on doing a special on the Harlem Hellfighters?
Could you guys do s special episode or out of the trenches thing on the navies? Like go from each country no matter how big or small and list how big its navy was?
So happy to know that my family name is actually a gas filter for vodka! Another great video as always Andy the team, you made my day!
Oh shit gas! Comrade hand me the vodka filter...
Just a quick fyi, "comrade" was not really a thing before the Soviets took over.
Да, да. В России кроме водки ничего нет.Да.
Wow..fascinating stuff. Who knew?!
3:14 interesting. The modern Russian army still has this minor issue with its modern digital camo uniform today. Although the cut, velcro patches, etc. are uniform, the shades of green in the camo itself varies depending on the factory in which uniforms are made.
Sapogi is plural for boot (sapog). It doesn't actually refer to any specific kind of boot.
in russian sapogi(сапоги) it is high boots, jackboots- the shoes with high tops
виталий никитин Yeah, it's a gray line between botinki and sapogi. In English, both translate as "boot", but botinki can also refer to what most people refer to as sneakers.
For example, my USMC issue combat boots would be in that gray area. They are too tall to really be called botinki, but don't really fit the traditional high top sapogi.
In any case, the original point stands. Sapogi can refer to any calf length or longer boots, not just military ones.
USMC issue combat boots is definitly "botinki", nobody call it "sapogi". Sneakers is "krosovki"- the sport shoes or close to sport, and "botinki" is shoes usually made of suede or leather without tops, or with shoelace and tops for ankle, if tops higher its "sapogi", and shoes for ankle without shoelace is "sapozgki"(little sapogi) but its informal
виталий никитин Vitalik, the USMC combat boot reaches to mid-calf. It's well above the ankle.
I've heard the modern Russian issue infantry combat boots referred to as "sapogi". They seemed roughly equivalent to the USMC gear I had at the time. (Except being black rather than tan.)
sorry my english is not enough good, I mean shin not ankle, the point equally between knee and feet,I do not know where you catch it but in russia ( In central part of european part of Russia, where I live)nobody call USMC C.B. sapogi, its sound little weird
very cool.
could you do an episode about all the big crazy medals and orders that the different countries gave to their people
Fascinating
5:40 haha oh Russia, even your gas mask had something to do with Vodka. Staying classy i WW1
What an ignorant comment. UK and German masks by 1915 had no any charcoal filters - they were breathing a pure chlorum.

Nice
The reason for wearing cloth on your feet instead of socks is due to the boots they were wearing. Wearing socks with jackboots, especially if they are slightly loose, can easily wear the sock and cause it to tear. With cloth, this problem is avoided.
Да, ещё портянку можно вверх ногами наматывать, если ноги обмочил и стопа останется сухой. Мне отец рассказывал... сам я портянки (слава богу) не застал.
Great episode. was way more interesting then i thought it would be.can you say thanks to the team from me? =)
i like this guys videos hes very professional yet doesnt bore you with boring facts
At 5:30, they had a shovel which doubled as a frying pan. Wait, what! That’s a new one on me. I’ll just go to the garden centre and buy a frying pan 😆
FYI: the white gymnastiorkas that you mentioned were sometimes worn were linen summer versions that were throwbacks to the Russo-Japanese War(and ever before). Also interesting is looking at photos from 1914 and seeing the variety of infantry uniforms as you mentioned. Sometimes you can even see them wearing what appears to be the dark green parade uniforms in combat or as pow's. I understand that when Russia called on her reserves many more men actually responded than was anticipated so the strain on supply was immdeiate. I believe that was the case(?)
this channel has grown substantially the last time I was here
That's how we like it.
Could you do a Who did what episode on Erich Raeder please, the future Grand admiral in WW2 ?
I am aww1 ww2 collector . Great information keep it coming. ..
An interesting issue, but very,very brief. I hope there will be a continuation.
You told about bashlyk, but never showed him.
Best wishes!
I always liked Russian uniforms of this era, especially that furazhka.
@The Great War. You should look at getting some reenactors in to model the uniform. I am sure they will love the experience and it will give a tangible look at how it was worn/felt
We are actually doing that.
hello i wanted to know if you can tell me when the episode on the austro hungarian uniforms will be out i know it was
supposed to be last october sorry for asking again ,i just like austrian uniforms mainly cavalry uniforms thanks Richard
Will there be a separate episode about the Jäger Movement (volunteers from Finland who trained in Germany as Jägers)?
was there ever one?
4:16 ... according to some articles I stumbled upon several years ago, the modern Russian military STILL uses foot wraps rather than socks. I would be very grateful if someone could confirm this from official sources, it could be a decent subject for Out Of The Trenches. Thank you!
They stopped just a few years ago.
Those footwraps are actually called "portyanki".
And they were indeed used up until the beginning of 21st century. Here is an article I've found:
www.theguardian.com/world/shortcuts/2013/jan/16/russian-soldiers-replacing-foot-wraps-socks
I use them even today in rubber boots over socks in winter time when I am outdoor
and it smells great as well ? right ?
ODDBALL SOK left. I'm not into sniffing them just use them.
Everything done correctly. I'm pleased to report that I was unable to find a slightest mistake.
History Freak I mean... Half of the slavic languages are written in Latin ;)
At 1:37, the photo where they say "telegraph corps" is a photo of Austrian troops, not Russia. The stars on the lapels are pure Austro-Hungarian. The Russians never used such insignia.
Why dont you go to the more beautifull west then away from us who actualy love our hellhole and try to better it. Go to sweden send money home to build 5 storey house and put lions on your gate and fence and then never come back.
nexttsar I thought they looked weird. Russians didn’t have markings on their collars and always had shoulder straps and that envelop fold looks weird and wasteful, Russians wouldn’t do tgat
You guys had an episode with C&Rsenal on Italian weapons awhile back. What happened to it?
great work about uniforms. the blouse I think was call rubaska. the cossaks use to wear bullets on the uniform. thanks for your effort to enlight the unknowns. have a great weak

Hi, I have 2 questions for Out Of The Trenches. I remember hearing about something called the Pals Divisions, do you know what these divisions are and what they did? Also, my Great Grandfather served in the great war, Lieutenant Joseph Dench, and I've got a record of what he did to get his medal, but not the battle he fought in. "He displayed the greatest courage and determination in leading his company over very difficult and thickly wooded country, which was continually under hostile machine-gun fire, and although at one time held up by a broad and deep stream, he skilfully constructed a rough bridge, got his company across, and gained his objective.", the description says. Is this enough information to figure out what battle he could have been in? Thanks for all the hard work, learnt about 9,542 times more stuff than at school ;)
It was already explained in an "Out of the trenches": PALs divisions were allowing men from the same village/city/profession to enlist together and serve together. The big bad surprises were when the whole divisions were obliterated in one attack/day/very short period of time and therefore whole communities were loosing and mourning day all their young men killed on some front, all together.
About your grandfather: all the important medals (all the medals in fact) are listed in the armies logs. You may find about it in the armies public information - this type of information is no longer classified after (many) years. I have no idea what nationality is Joseph Dench...
Looking forward to your guys thoughts on the battlefield 1 single player gameplay!
Damn those boots are stylish
that shovel is my favourite part. frying pan by day, axe by mid day and shovel by night 😀

And there is going to be more. We will talk about Romanian and Ottoman uniforms soon.
The Great War *no way* :O
i will reiterate, i love the work done in this channel. So much depth and everything. Best regards to Indie.
Russian uniforms n equipment sounds quite interesting. A nicely informative video. Nice job.
1:47 a quarter masters nightmare, I petty the person keeping track of those uniforms.
Indy can you do a special on Bolshevik equipment and uniforms when the time comes to the Civil War? Or is that outside of the scope of the program?
Episode idea: top ten best/worst uniforms at the start of the great war
0:25 I like that you address some of the issues Russia had prior to the soviet time that often get attributed to the soviet time entirely.
There was continuity. Russian weapons as well as Soviet tended to be fairly simple, rough and ready but reliable, as they had to stand up to harsh weather and other conditions.
1:42 is it the world earliest foldable bike?
Im super mad I didnt find this when I was working on my Leviathan fanfiction
Was this episode filmed in the new studio?
+Indiana Neidell Now that's good news! You guys did a great job keeping things going during the transition, I imagine that took a lot of extra effort and sleepless nights these past few weeks.

i wanted to know when you will do the episode on austrian uniforms i know last time you responded to me back in the summer
you said it might fall in sometime in october 2016 its now Feb 2017 and i wanted to know the exact date i tried asking this last month but did not hear back please let me know Richard
Simplesmente excelente!
Just a bit of a clarification the boots or сапоги "sapogi" are actually pronounced sapagI, the emphasis is on the last syllable "I". However in the Russian language today sapogi actually means boots. So it's not a "Type" of boot, but just plain old boots.
