Original Soviet veschmeshok (сidor) backpack, produced before 1991. Unlike regular rucksacks, this is a specific Soviet design: the top closes by threading straps into a loop and tying securely, making it instantly recognisable among collectors.

• Top closure with tie-through loop (traditional Soviet design)
• Large front pocket: 24 × 17 cm

Please note: these are original surplus items. They may show minor signs of long-term storage and sometimes have a characteristic “warehouse smell” typical for vintage gear. This only confirms their authenticity and can be aired out.
A unique collectible and practical item – perfect for history enthusiasts, vintage style, hiking, festivals, or as a rare Soviet-era accessory.
