Very nice traditional costumes.  You see a lot of that in WU and the Carpathians.

They are from different regions.  For example, I can see the traditional Hutsul embroidery in some of the photos.

Embroidery was very specific to regions, and they even had certain types, and colours, for married women, unmarried girls, widows, etc.

After the fall of communism, the biggest mistake Boris Yeltsin's regime made was not to disband the KGB altogether. Instead it changed its name to the FSB and, to many observers, morphed into a gangster organisation, eventually headed by master criminal Vladimir Putin. - Gerard Batten
