Many of you have heard about the recent “Panama Papers<\/a>” (#panamapapers) scandal, where several celebrities, state officials, and business owners were revealed to have had assets in offshore companies. One of Vladimir Putin’s friends<\/a> also featured in the leak, prompting satirical posters<\/a> depicting the Russian president wearing a Panama hat\u00a0and asking “\u041a\u0430\u043a\u0430\u0301\u044f \u041f\u0430\u043d\u0430\u0301\u043c\u0430?” (“What Panama [hat]?”)<\/p>\n

This recent leak probably reminded Russians that \u041f\u0430\u043d\u0430\u0301\u043c\u0430 (Panama) is a country as well as a kind of hat, \u043f\u0430\u043d\u0430\u0301\u043c\u0430 — the latter usage is by far the prevalent one in Russian. Russian has a fairly detailed vocabulary for headwear, with several non-interchangeable names. Let’s take a look at the kinds of headwear in Russian.<\/p>\n

\u0428\u0430\u0301\u043f\u043a\u0430<\/h2>\n

\u0428\u0430\u0301\u043f\u043a\u0430 is\u00a0probably the first word that comes to mind when talking about hats. It usually describes the type of headwear used to keep one’s head warm and may be knitted, made of fur, or other kinds of fabric. Stylish summer hats cannot be called \u0448\u0430\u0301\u043f\u043a\u0430.

\u0428\u043b\u044f\u0301\u043f\u0430 refers to hats resembling a fedora. The hallmark of a \u0448\u043b\u044f\u0301\u043f\u0430 is a brim. This type of hat is considered stylish and somewhat retro. A straw hat is \u0441\u043e\u043b\u043e\u0301\u043c\u0435\u043d\u043d\u0430\u044f \u0448\u043b\u044f\u0301\u043f(\u043a)\u0430.

\u041a\u0435\u0301\u043f\u043a\u0430 is basically a baseball cap or any hat with a peak (also known as visor or bill in English). Earlier designs for this kind of hat could include a softer, beret-like top and a shorter peak. The more military-style variation of a \u043a\u0435\u0301\u043f\u043a\u0430 may be called \u0444\u0443\u0440\u0430\u0301\u0436\u043a\u0430. The latter word is also more likely to be used by older people.<\/p>\n

The now-infamous \u043f\u0430\u043d\u0430\u0301\u043c\u0430 is really a summer hat, meant to protect one’s head from the sun. Unlike the rich-Westerner-in-the-tropics English “Panama hat,” the Russian \u043f\u0430\u043d\u0430\u0301\u043c\u0430 is primarily used to describe the hats worn by young children. This word evokes potentially unfashionable headwear donned by toddlers and Soviet-era pensioners. A stereotypical \u043f\u0430\u043d\u0430\u0301\u043c\u0430, or \u043f\u0430\u043d\u0430\u0301\u043c\u043a\u0430, is made of fabric and not straw.<\/p>\n
