The hat our friend Randall was photographed with has a somewhat interesting history. As I had forgotten to take either a hat or an umbrella from home, I had to buy this monstrous Red-Army hat from the antique market around the Alexander Nevski Cathedral on a rainy Wednesday. Of course, I bought it just for an emergency, unexpected heavy rain, and I did not plan to wear it in normal circumstances, but Randall liked it very much and even went out with it right away.
