Oseledets or chub is a traditional Ukrainian style of haircut that features a long lock of hair left on the otherwise completely shaved head, commonly sprouting from the top or the front of an otherwise closely shaven head. Wikipedia

(24,340 posts)Before the Maidan events, I engaged in entrepreneurial goings-on. By profession, a lawyer. Also I was the leader of the legal service of the All-Ukrainian Association "Svoboda." Before I became a lawyer, until 1997, I was at that time an employee of the militia in the department that fought gangs and organized crime. It was the 90s; banditism had come to power. I understood that I had to get into politics and decide things politically, but not criminally. An example would be our past president Yanukovich, who was twice "not convicted."

(38,193 posts)because I've seen a lot of field interviews with Ukrainian soldiers, and when asked what they did before the war, the responses were all over the place: Insurance executive, software engineer, chemist....people from all walks of life. Citizen's Army, Baby!
To me, that dude looks like he could very effectively teach math to a bunch of hormonally charged teens.

(20,042 posts)a fictional Ukrainian Cossack Friday m a novella by Gogol played by Yul Brenner sporting the famous forelock. This was back in ?1962.
It was Ukrainian, Russian, Polish, and Tatar men who joined together in the Southern Steppes to become Cossacks - an independent, self ruled democratic group.
At one point there was a Commonwealth with The Poles & Lithuanians, but eventually the Ukrainians broke away. While Ukrainian Cossacks were a relatively small group to the larger population it was they who promoted Ukrainians as an independent people in the 1600, 1700s.
Zaporozhian Cossacks (one of several Cossack groups, some who still follow traditional Cossack ways) sometimes served under the Tzars of Russia, but remained mostly independent. Later on Carherine the Great disbanded them, relocated sine to southern Russia, many we're turned into peasants, others founded cities in Ukraine. Russian "Cossacks" are called Kazzaks.
There's an island in the Dniper River whwrw some modern Ukrainians train in Zaporozhian martial arts, fighting skills, and horsemanship.
