Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu ordered to remove footcloths from the clothing property of military personnel. There is nothing new in the order of the head of department. Over the past 20 years, all defense ministers have promised to rid Russian soldiers of footcloths, but each time their initiative remained on paper. Supporters of footcloths said that they are stronger and more practical than socks, opponents said that footcloths are more difficult to put on, and in addition, they can lead to skin irritation or calluses.

Socks or footcloths?

Socks and footcloths have their advantages and disadvantages. Footcloths are easy to wash and dry quickly. Unlike socks, they have a universal size: a standard footcloth fits the foot of any adult. A footcloth lasts much longer than a sock. When wrapped, the footcloth turns out to be two-layer and, in comparison with ordinary socks, it retains heat better, and when it gets into the water for a short time, it does not get wet so easily. If the soldier's socks get wet, they must be removed and dried over the fire - otherwise you will get blisters. And it’s enough to remove the footcloth, rewind it with the dry side on your feet, and that’s all - you can go again.

Only footcloths can be worn with tarpaulin boots. It is inconvenient to wear such shoes with socks - legs quickly get off, and socks wear out almost instantly. Tarpaulin boots are used as special footwear in parts deployed in areas with a special climate, for example, in the Far North.

Boots and footcloths were excluded from the list of permanent elements of the uniform of Russian military personnel at the end of 2007. However, as then, and now, it is not intended to introduce a complete ban on the wearing of such uniforms.

How should footcloths be worn?

So that the footcloth does not unwind when walking and running, it must be tightly wound around the leg. This should be done from the toe of the foot and certainly “outward”, and not “inward”, so that when walking it does not get off and rub the leg. The foot in the footcloth is practically wrapped in two layers of fabric, which retains heat better, and if it gets into the water for a short time, only the outer layer of the footcloth gets wet.

When did the Russian army start wearing footcloths?

Footcloths are pieces of fabric for wrapping the foot. The name "footcloth" comes from the word "port" - a piece of fabric, a cut off part of the canvas. Footcloths appeared under Peter I. In fact, they were peasant onuchi, which were worn under bast shoes. The Russian emperor tried to replace footcloths with stockings, but they did not take root - the soldiers broke their legs and froze. As a result, footcloths were returned to the army. They began to be used everywhere in the Russian domestic army since 1812.

Is it easy to replace footcloths with socks?

It will be difficult for the personnel of the Russian army to provide socks that should replace footcloths.

One set of footcloths replaces three or four pairs of socks. According to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, now a conscript is given 12 pairs of socks for the entire period of service (one year). In particular, recruits receive six pairs of summer socks, four winter pairs and two pairs of cotton socks. Increasing the norms for issuing socks to conscripts will require additional funding.

What else has changed in army uniforms?

The armed forces have already switched to providing military winter boots with high berets, which were purchased by 853 thousand pairs this year alone. By the end of January, the entire officer corps will switch to wearing a new type of everyday uniform - more than 220,000 sets have been purchased. Eighteen formations and military units have already changed into all-weather sets of basic uniforms. The armed forces also provided tracksuits conscripts and cadets. This year, 210,000 tracksuits were purchased.

Recently, the army has decided to move away from footcloths towards socks, and replaces the tarpaulin with berets. Clever, but far from the everyday life of the army, people deliberated for a long time and stubbornly and decided to follow the enlightened Europe, which has changed the soldiers' shoes for a couple of decades. After all, if we want to have a modern and professional army, then the first thing to do is to get rid of these terrible tarpaulin boots and footcloths. Everything is so yes-no-so. In practice, getting rid of boots with footcloths is not at all as easy as it seems from the outside. Firstly, the warehouses of the Ministry of Defense are bursting with tarpaulin boots and footcloths - and all this stuff needs to be put somewhere. Secondly, tarpaulin boots also have their own advantages - for example, low cost, all-weather and universal cross-country ability. Footcloths also have their advantages - only with them it is possible to wear such rough shoes as tarpaulin boots.

Or, for example, if a soldier's socks get wet, they must be removed and dried over a fire - otherwise you will fill such calluses, you will not wish the enemy. And it’s enough to remove the footcloth, rewind it with the dry side on your feet, and that’s all - you can go again. Footcloths are practically not torn, they do not need to look for a pair or select a size.

Finally, few people know, but it was the tarpaulin boots with footcloths that at one time provided the Soviet army with the status of the most powerful army in the world. However, first things first.

The Russian soldier did not always wear boots. From the time of Peter the Great to the end of the eighteenth century, officers and soldiers wore blunt-toed boots with buckles (felt boots in winter). Boots, on the other hand, could only be afforded by the cavalry. Of course, no one tried to challenge the merits of boots. But everyone also knew that it would take as much leather to make a pair of boots as it takes to make five shoes! Therefore, they tried to supply at least the entire cavalry with boots. In 1778, Prince Grigory Potemkin became Field Marshal of the Russian Army. He began a large-scale reform in the army, he destroyed panache, abolished the pigtail, curls and powder. “The beauty of military clothing consists in equality and in accordance with things with their use: a dress for a soldier to wear clothes, and not a burden. All panache must be destroyed. The soldier's toilet should be such that he got up, then he's ready. Soldier boots have become shorter, softer and more comfortable. But panache was not long absent in the army - Tsar Paul I again dressed the army for a Prussian maneuver, returned pigtails and curls. Army boots began to be made from patent leather- these were boots with high tops, and boots, certainly with stockings.

Alexander I - canceled patent leather boots and shoes, and introduced knee-high yuft boots. Nicholas I - canceled yuft boots and introduced short boots, over which black cloth boots with five or six buttons were worn. And Alexander II - again returned boots with footcloths to the army. And by the end of the 19th century, Nicholas II, in order to save money, decided to change the army's shoes from boots to boots with windings. Windings are a replacement for boots dating back to the First World War. Just do not think that this is a Russian invention. In the same World War I, the British roamed in mustard-colored wool windings, and the Germans in gray. By the way, special hooks were riveted to the German ones so that they would not unwind. Since then, it has been the custom of the bourgeoisie to supply the army with boots, but the Russians again returned to boots closer to the 30s of the 20th century, when tarpaulin boots were invented ...

In 1928, Russian chemist Sergei Lebedev came up with the idea of ​​making shoes on a cotton basis impregnated with artificial rubber - this material was popularly called "kirza", that is, a layer of frozen and cracked earth. And all because in the cold such a fabric hardened so much that it became brittle. On the basis of Lebedev's invention, the chemist Ivan Plotnikov set up the production of tarpaulin in Vyatka at an artificial leather plant. The material quickly gained unheard-of popularity, and shoes made from it in a short time acquired the status of a national one, because it was comfortable, practical and - most importantly - affordable for the completely impoverished people. On April 10, 1942, Plotnikov was awarded the Stalin Prize of the second degree in 100 thousand rubles. By the end of the war, the Soviet army numbered 10 million soldiers, shod in tarpaulin shoes.

After the Second World War, footcloths were adopted for use in the armies of the Warsaw Pact countries. Also, the use of footcloths from the time of the Russian Empire continued in the Finnish army. In the GDR, footcloths were abandoned in 1968, in Finland - in 1990, in Ukraine - in 2004. Chechnya is the last war where kirzachs were massively used in the Russian army. In the 21st century, berets came to it almost everywhere. Tarpaulin boots also remained, but with non-combat units - for example, in a construction battalion.

Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu ordered the removal of footcloths from military personnel's clothing. There is nothing new in the order of the head of department. Over the past 20 years, all defense ministers have promised to rid Russian soldiers of footcloths, but each time their initiative remained on paper.
