Trivia
- During the Winter War with Finland in 1939, thousands of Russian soldiers died of cold due to organizational failures and inadequate equipment. Reforms were undertaken and the Red Army introduced a new winter uniform, which included ushanka to replace budyonovkas (a sort of Ushanka predecessor). German soldiers started to use this and other gear unofficially, though copies were introduced rather late in the war. This is when the Ushanka became well-known outside of Russia.
- Ushankas are often made from cheap sheepskin, rabbit or muskrat fur, though artificial fur hats are also manufactured. Artificial fur has sometimes been referred to as "fish fur" since the material has no relation to any real fur. The simplest "fish fur" of Ushankas was made of wool pile with cloth substrate and cloth top, with the exception of flaps, in which pile was exposed.
- Before the Classless Update was released, there was already a community skin to turn the Football Helmet into an ushanka.
- The star that appears in the Officer's Ushanka is yellow, though in real life Ushankas it usually appears red. Still, many different badges or cockards may be attached to Ushankas, depending on the place it is manufactured or bought.
- The Officer's Ushanka does not seem to have a clasp or clip to keep the ear protectors up.
- The hat description was written by Potatoblight.
- Ushanka is currently the only hat referring to his homeland.
- If painted with the Extraordinary Abundance of Tinge it is similar to the ushankas that russian models use.
