  15. The red army adopted elements of the Imperial Russian uniform under the nationalistic guidance of Stalin (Stalin despite being a committed communist, a Georgian rather than Russian, and evil was a big fan of Russian dynastic history, and an expert on the politics and strategic policy of it), as time went on they made it look even more like the Imperial one's, bringing back shoulder straps and the type of leather belts officers used to wear. This was controversial at the time as the red army had previously worn civil war elements of uniform specifically meant to make them look distinct from the Imperial army. Don Cossacks as a military estate wore military style uniforms, traditionally their colours were blue and red, they would wear blue trousers with a wide red stripe, but traditionally also a thick blue coat in peasant style, however during modernisation the coat was removed and they were told to wear the army issue shirt with other elements in their colours and the same trousers. This is what modern 'Don' Cossacks wear, they are politically monarchist and religiously orthodox, the soviets pretty much wiped them out so it is a revival movement. Usually they want the old station of a military elite back, but also the Tsar and Empire. Their symbolism is all constructed around these, lots of monarchist flags, orthodox iconography and old imperial uniform elements, though usually not very closely following the old regulations, especially as their lack of military function has made them ridiculously officer heavily as their shoulderboards are silver and everyone wants those.
