Tailor Makes Imperial Dragoons Uniform in Crimea
An amusing tale from the Crimean frontier describes Khaim Kurichkess, a Simferopol tailor, who, at the czars request, sews a uniform for the Crimean dragoons. A cloaked general abducts him to Yalta, the czar tests his skill, and the tailor is paid with 50 rubles, plus an imperial watch gift. He returns home to Simferopol amid small rewards and a court‑level nod to his craft.
