Trivia
- Though ushankas are, culturally speaking, a distinctly Russian hat, they have also been used in most of Eastern Europe and other parts of Asia for hundreds of years. The ushanka has since become a symbol and media icon of the Soviet Union, and is now a very popular hat all over the world.
- The names of both this item and the Gentleman's Ushanka reference the 1982 film An Officer and a Gentleman.
- The gold star bears a resemblance to the Hero of the Soviet Union medal, the highest honor awarded by the state in the former U.S.S.R for heroic acts of military or civilian courage and duty.
