Soviet-style coats are becoming a thing of the past, and the symbols of the country of advanced socialism are disappearing from combat awards, military uniforms, and servicemen's badges. The military headgear of the renewed armed forces has an interesting history. They are trying to shame them, citing various examples from the Second World War, forgetting what is the basis of these caps and when they first appeared in the Ukrainian army. A similar headdress was worn by the Hungarian and Polish nobility in the 17th century. They called him "magerka". And they first appeared in the Polish army in the 16th century. The comfortable cut quickly gained popularity among the poor. Instead of velvet or cloth, the common people wore felt jackets. They were widespread in the territory of modern Ukraine and part of Belarus, where they were called mavgerka. Such a cap was also popular among the Cossacks, who made up the military backbone of Ivan Mazepa's army. In his time, he did a lot for the unification of the Right-Bank and Left-Bank Hetmanships, joining it and Zaporozhye. At the same time, he managed to limit the political independence of Zaporizhzhya Sich. At that time, Left Bank Ukraine also owed its economic rise to Mazepa. Later, the term "mazepinka" appeared. As a statutory headdress, it was proposed by Levko Lepkiy in January 1916 for the Ukrainian Sich Riflemen. Lipky was a member of the Commission on Uniforms of the Legion of the Ukrainian SSR. A year later, after obtaining permission from the authorities of Austria-Hungary, marzipan began to be produced with state funds. By modern standards, this headdress looked very stylish, strict and elegant. It is interesting that there are no analogues to it in modern army fashion. The cut of the marzipan was quite complicated. The border was sewn from eight wedges, creating the bottom of the headdress. Its front part was 1 cm higher than the back. Pads with a wedge-shaped cutout on the front, which diverges in the upper part by 6 cm, were sewn to the lower part of the skirt. In those days, the same material was used for sewing the mazepinka, which was used for uniforms. The statutory cap in the form of a cap stayed well on the head thanks to a rather deep fit. Subsequently, Mazepinkas were used by various nationalist military formations of various stripes. Modernity has practically not changed the cut of this uniform cap. Nowadays, they are made from cotton fabric or polycotton using rip-stop technology. A distinctive feature of the models is that they keep their shape even in the heaviest rain, as well as a rigid visor, which is usually permeated with six seams. These military headdresses of our time are also popular among the general population. They are also made in insulated versions, using soft fleece as a lining material.
