Who walked in bast shoes

Although this image is now reserved for Russians, this is not the case for most Russians, because there are not that many forests in Russia.

It could only be the historical Balts and Germans who lived in the forest zone of Europe.

This range also covered a part of the Russian Federation, in the region of the northwest, but it was not the main range. The main part lived in the area of the historical Lithuanian principality, in the lower Rhine and in Scandinavia

If I'm not mistaken, then bast shoes were first worn by the Finns, or somewhere in that region.
But about the forests is a good point)
All timber in russia was cut down and exported for next to nothing by the chinese.

These are political fairy tales. by the composition of the soil, it is easy to determine where the forest was. In central Russia, it ends south of Moscow
