1869 depiction of Sviatoslav I, the prince of Kiev from 945 to 972

Oseledets (Ukrainian: оселедець, IPA: [oseˈlɛdetsʲ]) or chub (чуб [tʃub]) is a traditional Ukrainian hairstyle that features a long lock of hair sprouting from the top or the front of an otherwise closely shaven head (similar to a modern Mohawk). Most commonly it is associated with the Ukrainian cossacks.

History

[edit]

A closely related haircut, czupryna, was worn by the Wends of early medieval Poland, and later by the Szlachta from the 12th until the 18th century.[citation needed]

During the 16th and 17th century, the Cossacks of Ukraine shaved their heads, leaving a long central strip which was often braided or tied in a topknot.[citation needed]

The oseledets underwent a revival among romantics and nationalists during the early 20th century.

After independence, the oseledets made a comeback among modern Ukrainians. It was seen during the Euromaidan protests of 2014.[1]

The Ukrainian name for this type of haircut is oseledets (Ukrainian: оселедець, literally "herring") or chub (Ukrainian: чуб, meaning "crest"). There are several Ukrainian surnames derived from this word.

The oseledets/khokhol is a standard feature in the stereotypical image of a Ukrainian Cossack.[citation needed] This haircut is depicted in various motion pictures such as The Lost Letter that is based on works of Nikolai Gogol.

Khokhol

[edit]

Historically, Ukrainians used the term khokhol amongst themselves as a form of ethnic self-identification to visibly separate themselves from Russians.[2]

A Russian name for the oseledets hairstyle, khokhol (Russian: хохол, IPA: [xɐˈxol]) is commonly used as an ethnic slur for a Ukrainian male (feminine form: Russian: хохлушка, romanizedkhokhlushka),[3][4][5] as it was a common haircut of Ukrainian Cossacks. The term is usually derogatory or condescending.[6][7] The word comes from Proto-Slavic xoxolъ < *koxolъ, lit.'crest, tuft'.[8] Accordingly, Khokhliandiya (Russian: Хохляндия, Хохландия) and Khokhlostan (Russian: Хохлостан) are derogatory references to Ukraine.[9]
