Milonov proposed bringing budyonovka hats back to the army, since it's very Orthodox — the budyonovka looks like the dome of a little church.
Vitaly Milonov is an example of a marginal who tries with all his might to pass for "Russian", trying to fit into the "Russian world".
Vitaly Milonov is an intellectual person, with a delicate inner constitution, but since in Russia such traits of character are considered weakness, Vitaly plays the role of a rough, dumb Orthodox muzhik. Vitaly tries to impose on the world an obscurantism he himself doesn't believe in, and fights homosexuals with whom he himself would have sex with great pleasure.
Vitaly tries in every way to please the "deep" people.
