Hello! My name is Katya, and I am a Cossack girl from Ukraine. I come from a long line of spiral braid bun enthusiasts who have been wearing traditional Ukrainian dresses for generations. As a teenager, I was always fascinated by the ornate beauty of the churches in my village, especially St. Basil's Cathedral. It was there that I discovered Eastern Orthodoxy and found solace in its traditional practices.
When I turned 18, I decided to move to Moscow to pursue my passion for traditional Slavic dresses and hairstyles. I worked tirelessly to perfect the intricate braiding techniques of my ancestors until one day, a photographer stumbled upon me while I was getting ready for church. He snapped a photo that ended up going viral on social media, and from then on, I became known as the "Slavic Dress Cossack Girl with the Spiral Braid Bun."
Despite the sudden attention, I remained humble and continued to focus on my craft. Today, I am one of the most sought-after stylists in Moscow, and I am proud to share my heritage through my work.
