Red Army soldiers instead wore the budenovka, which was made of felt. However, Kolchak and the White Army lost the war, and their headgear was not adopted in the new Soviet Union.

Fields wore a kolchakovka in the short film The Fatal Glass of Beer. In 1917 during the Russian Civil War, the ruler of Siberia, Aleksandr Kolchak, introduced a winter uniform hat, commonly referred to as a kolchakovka, c. In addition, Russian Cossacks of the Kuban have influenced the design of modern Ushanka through interaction with peoples from Central Asia and Caucasus. The main difference from the treukh is that the earflaps of the norvezhka were much longer. The modern ushanka design from 1917 is also inspired by the Norwegian norvezhka, a hat which was invented by Norwegian arctic explorers. The design of ushanka with a perfectly round crown was developed in the 17th century when in central and northern Russia a hat with earflaps called treukh was worn. Such hats are also seen in Scandinavian countries Sweden, Norway and Finland, in the Eurasian and European Slavic countries Russia, Ukraine, Slovenia, and in Caucasus region in Georgia and Armenia.

Hats with fur earflaps have been known for centuries, especially in the Slavic Balkan countries Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia, Bulgaria, as well as in Northeastern Italy, in the Julian March, Trieste, and surrounding areas where there has been a large Slavic population for centuries.
