| The predecessors of the Yakut (Sakha) people, who came to central Siberia in the first half of the second millennium AD, at first had their clothes loose and unbuttoned. Owing both to indigenous traditions and harsh arctic conditions there, they began to wear high-necked buttoned shirts («rubakha» in southern and central Yakutia) and high-necked buttoned overcoats (in the Arctic areas). The Yukaghirs have been indigenous people throughout the territory of Central Siberia, so it was their clothes’ style that was adopted by the arriving Yakuts there. |
