What is russian military shirts?

Russian military shirts, or Telnyashkas, are navy blue or white undershirts worn by military personnel in the Russian Armed Forces and other former Soviet Union countries. These shirts are made from cotton and have a distinctive striped pattern on the collar and sleeves, representing the branch of service and rank of the soldier wearing it.

Telnyashkas were first introduced in the 19th century by the Russian Navy and were later adopted by other branches of the military. They became a symbol of Russian patriotism and military pride and were worn by soldiers both on and off duty.

In addition to their traditional use as undershirts, Telnyashkas have also become popular fashion items, with people around the world wearing them as part of military-style clothing.

Today, Russian military shirts are still issued to soldiers in the Russian Armed Forces and are also available for purchase by civilians in souvenir shops and online stores.
