Poddjowka
The poddjowka ( Russian поддёвка ), often spelled poddiowka in literature , was worn by Russian men as a body skirt (outer clothing) under the coat. The name of this garment can be found at the end of the 19th century. B. with the Russian poet Tolstoy several times. In the short story Die Kreutzersonate (1891) he describes the protagonist Posdnyschew, who wears a poddiowka under a coat during a long train journey and a "Russian shirt with colorful embroidery trims". Tolstoy mentions the same item of clothing again in his novel Anna Karenina (1877) in connection with a young man who wears “a poddiowka, the long Russian skirt”. On the following pages, “the young man in the Poddiowka” is mentioned several times, this garment serving as a kind of identification mark.
Small differences to Tolstoy's description of the Poddiowka can be seen in the following writings.
With the Polish author Rażyna Bobtlewicz, who wrote an article about the clothes of the Russian avant-garde in everyday life and in portraits :

- The French newspaper La Nouvelle Revue from 1898 describes the Poddiowka as “paletot court, sans some” (short skirt without sleeves).
