<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 358706, member: 2844&quot;]While I agree on the traditional headdress of Ukraine being a flower crown and of Russia being the kokoshnik diadem, the flower garland on Natasha&#039;s girl may not be intended as a Ukrainian one. The rest of the costume looks very modified and pretty general Slavic, not traditional.</p><p>Here is just a thought. On old Nazi photographs of BDM girls (Bund Deutscher Mädel, the female equivalent of H. Youth) on summercamp, you often see the girls wearing flower garlands with contemporary takes on the traditional German dirndl dress. It was part of the propaganda to emphasize how happy and carefree it all was.</p><p>I wouldn&#039;t be surprised if this was a similar representation, just a different totalitarian state.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
