Kosynka (Косынка) is the diminutive of kosynya (Russian: косыня).[1]; (archaic forms kosynya, kosyr', kos', kosyak Russian: косыня, косырь, кось, косяк[2]) which comes from the term slanted or oblique, kosoy (Russian: косой). They are a variety of a type of head scarf or neckerchief that is a piece of fabric in the shape of a triangle.[3][4]. The name comes from slanted headscarf, kosoy platok (Russiaan: косой платок)[5][6].
Kosynkas are widely distributed almost all over the world. They are the national headdress of Russians, Ukrainians, Romani people and other ethnic groups[7]. Kosynkas were often indicative of region or marriage status, denoting married women[8].
As part of a Japanese Shinto wedding kimono, some brides wear a white headdress similar to a kosynka with red lining that is tied over their hair, called a watabōshi (綿帽子).
There's an interpretation that the red kosynka, worn by female Komsomol members in the 1920s and 1930s as a sign of solidarity with the Soviet regime, became the prototype for the red pioneer neckerchief.[9][10].
Nowadays, kosynkas are used as a fashion accessory and as part of uniform. For example for medical personnel, flight attendants, and employees of Sberbank of Russia.[11]
They differ from bandanas in terms of the material used and the method of tying.
In Central Asia, before the collapse of the Soviet Union and the appearance of foreign missionaries from Muslim countries, Muslim women in Central Asia tied traditional headscarves (“oramal”) like kosynkas. And in modern times, despite active canonical and Quranic preaching of Sharia forms of clothing (hijab) by young and old mullahs who've graduated from foreign and local madrassas, many older women continue to tie a headscarf in the form of a kosynka.
