This fact caused popularity of shawls in Russia - and they are very popular till nowadays. Predecessor of Shawl was Ubrus - common wear for many Indo-European nations. Ubrus is the veil - was a cloth kerchief made of linen or fine silk. It was often embroidered in a colored pattern at the ends. It was wrapped around the head and went under the chin where it was pinned together. One of the ends hung down to the shoulder. It was approximately 2 meters long and 40-50 cm wide. The veil was either pulled down low on the brow or tied up higher so that the front part of the povoinik could be seen for a little more ornamentation" (Stamerov, 1978; in Kiev`, 2000). Tradition to wear Ubrus is still common in many Salvonic nations, it is still used at India and has a long history, which is not well known, but probably come to the days of eldest Middle East civilizations.
