abstract:Russian boot is the name applied to a style of calf- or knee-length fashion boot for women that was popular in the early part of the 20th Century. Russian boots fell out of favor in the 1930s, but were the inspiration for the high-leg fashion boots that returned to popularity in the 1950s and 60s.
And now, along the southern edge of Russia itself, an array of tiny nations seems to be making a fool of the old imperial power and killing Russian civilians to boot.
