In order to defend the country, it is easy to recruit so many female soldiers in a short time, but it is difficult to send military uniforms. Because fighting is a man's business, the Soviet army never designed military uniforms for female soldiers, so it took advantage of the trend and used the skirts that have been circulating in Europe for a long time as military uniforms. As a military uniform, skirts are not only quick and convenient to produce, but also conform to the national customs at that time.
Soviet women prefer skirts, even when going to war. This originated from the era of Russian Queen Catherine II. They think it is extremely inappropriate for women to wear pants with their legs apart. If a woman wears trousers, it is considered "indecent", which violates the traditional morality, that is, "it can be worn out, but it can't be worn wrong". For Soviet women, skirts are manners and models. If they wear pants, they may feel shy. Therefore, the Soviet Union designed a military uniform with a waist in the middle and boots on the bottom, which was convenient for emergency production without losing the traditional style.
Can you go to the battlefield to kill the enemy in a skirt? Especially in the extremely cold conditions of the Soviet Union, pants are still needed inside the skirt. In the movie "The Dawn is Quiet Here", all the people sent to the battlefield wear skirts outside and cotton trousers inside. Fighting requires lying in the trenches, running in the jungle, or riding a horse and driving. During the war, it was really inconvenient to wear skirts. Later, I began to wear culottes, which not only retained the style of the skirt, but also lost the femininity. After the end of World War II, after the rise of jeans in the United States, the Soviet army summed up the battlefield experience, and the female soldiers who joined the army only wore pants.
