Mazepynka

A Mazepynka (Ukrainian: Мазепинка), plural form Mazepynky (Ukrainian: Мазепинки), is a cap worn by Ukrainian soldiers. Created by Levko Lepkyi [uk] for the Ukrainian Sich Riflemen in 1916, it was named for 17th-century Ukrainian leader Ivan Mazepa. It has since become a symbol of Ukraine's military,^[1] and been adopted by several later groups, including the Ukrainian Galician Army, the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (in a modified form), and, most recently, the Armed Forces of Ukraine since 2015.
