Full history and value.* The Soviet Ushanka is a classic Roblox Limited U hat that went on sale on February 18, 2011 for 500 Robux, and it has become one of the platform's quiet gems. RBX Invest catalog data as of September 27, 2026 tracks 486 copies, a RAP of 308,782 R$ and a cheapest listing of 425,000 R$. A Limited U is an item Roblox released with its copy count fixed in advance, so no more can ever be made. Since 2023, community creators have published 198 UGC ushankas of their own, and the best of them carries a RAP of 4,508 R$. **Quick answer:** The Soviet Ushanka is a 2011 Roblox Limited U hat with 486 copies tracked, a RAP of 308,782 R$ and a floor around 425,000 R$ as of September 2026. It started life as a 500 Robux retexture of the Brown Ushanka, a regular catalog hat from 2009. The 198 community-made ushankas that followed have not come close to its value. | Soviet Ushanka at a glance | | | --- | --- | | Released | February 18, 2011 | | Original price | 500 R$ | | Item type | Classic Limited U (fixed print, serial-numbered copies) | | Copies tracked | 486 | | RAP | 308,782 R$ | | Cheapest copy listed | 425,000 R$ | | Favorites | 111,479 | | Based on | The Brown Ushanka, a 2009 catalog hat | | UGC ushankas published since 2023 | 198, best RAP 4,508 R$ | ## What is the Soviet Ushanka on Roblox? A 2011 Limited U winter hat ![Soviet Ushanka](https://img.rbxinvest.com/item/46348897?size=420) [The Soviet Ushanka](/item/46348897) is a black fur winter hat with an emblem on the front, sold by Roblox in February 2011 at a fixed 500 Robux with a capped stock. The "U" in Limited U means Roblox decided the copy count before release and numbered each copy as it sold, which our [Limited versus Limited U guide](/articles/limited-vs-limited-u-roblox) explains in full. Once the stock ran out, the only way to get one was from another player. Our catalog counts 486 copies today against the 500 the Roblox Wiki records as the original stock. Copy counts drift down over the years as accounts are terminated or abandoned, and they never drift up. The hat is also heavily favorited, with 111,479 favorites in our data. Favorites only measure attention, and plenty of cheap items have more of them, though a fifteen-year-old hat holding six figures of them says something about how many players know it. ## Where did the Soviet Ushanka come from? A retexture of the Brown Ushanka Roblox had already been selling ushankas for two years. The [Brown Ushanka](https://www.roblox.com/catalog/10914014/Brown-Ushanka) went up in May 2009 as an ordinary catalog hat with no copy cap, and the [Roblox Wiki's page on it](https://roblox.fandom.com/wiki/Catalog:Brown_Ushanka) records a 120 Robux launch price and lists it as still available. The Soviet Ushanka reuses that same hat shape with a new texture painted on, which is why the two look like siblings on an avatar. The [Roblox Wiki's page on the hat](https://roblox.fandom.com/wiki/Catalog:Soviet_Ushanka) also credits the design to a player named arbirator and notes that the item's description is written in Russian. Both details come from the wiki's editors, so treat them as documented lore. One later change is worth knowing about if you compare old screenshots to the hat you see today. The wiki records a texture update on November 21, 2024 that swapped the hammer-and-sickle emblem for a hammer and wrench, followed by another edit removing the star. The change applied to every copy at once and left ownership untouched. The item you buy in 2026 does not look exactly like the item somebody bought in 2011. ## What is a Soviet Ushanka worth in 2026? Around 425,000 R$ to buy The RAP sits at 308,782 R$ and the cheapest copy on the market wants 425,000 R$, a gap of about 38%. RAP (Recent Average Price) is an exponentially smoothed average of an item's sale history, moving a tenth of the way toward each new sale price, and our [RAP explainer](/articles/what-is-rap-roblox) covers the formula. On an item this thin, sales are rare, so RAP lags behind what sellers currently want. Trader consensus on the hat's street value also sits above its RAP. Our guide to [Limiteds priced above RAP](/articles/roblox-limited-price-higher-than-rap) covers why the gap opens on low-supply items. For a buyer, the practical figure is the floor. You pay what the cheapest seller asks, so 425,000 R$ is the number that matters, and it moves whenever that one seller relists or somebody buys them out. With 486 copies spread across fifteen years of accounts, only a handful sit on the market at once, which our piece on [how many copies are actually listed](/articles/roblox-limited-copies-for-sale) puts in context. ## Are the UGC ushankas worth anything? 198 items, none above 5,000 R$ Community creators gained the ability to publish their own Limiteds in April 2023, and ushankas turned out to be a popular shape to copy. Our catalog holds 198 UGC ushanka Limiteds with 115,964 copies between them. The median RAP across that group is 110 R$. Not one of them has reached a RAP of 5,000. Here is the family by RAP, classic first. | Item | Type | Copies | RAP | Cheapest listed | |---|---|---:|---:|---:| | ![](https://img.rbxinvest.com/item/46348897?size=150) [Soviet Ushanka](/item/46348897) | Classic Limited U | 486 | 308,782 R$ | 425,000 R$ | | ![](https://img.rbxinvest.com/item/15304362351?size=150) [Anarchists Ushanka](/item/15304362351) | UGC | 30 | 4,508 R$ | 3,999 R$ | | ![](https://img.rbxinvest.com/item/91432182676511?size=150) [QT Fur Ushanka](/item/91432182676511) | UGC | 1,000 | 4,332 R$ | 3,500 R$ | | ![](https://img.rbxinvest.com/item/15706414200?size=150) [Burger Ushanka](/item/15706414200) | UGC | 1,000 | 2,435 R$ | 2,450 R$ | | ![](https://img.rbxinvest.com/item/13669334642?size=150) [Diamond Ushanka](/item/13669334642) | UGC | 70 | 1,973 R$ | 1,250 R$ | | ![](https://img.rbxinvest.com/item/14461961724?size=150) [Pharaoh's Ushanka](/item/14461961724) | UGC | 20 | 1,686 R$ | 4,067 R$ | The QT Fur Ushanka is the closest thing the UGC side has to a hit, with 1,000 copies printed and a RAP of 4,332 R$. That still lands near a hundredth of the classic's floor price. Copy counts explain part of the gap. Two of these UGC hats printed 1,000 copies apiece, twice the entire supply of the original. The Anarchists Ushanka printed 30 and the Pharaoh's Ushanka printed 20, tiny prints that still trade in the low thousands, which shows that a small print by itself buys you very little. Demand has to come from somewhere else. ## What drives the Soviet Ushanka's premium? Three things, in order of weight. Age and status carry the most. It is a 2011 Limited U from the era collectors treat as the classic catalog, and the trading community has agreed on its standing for over a decade. That agreement is the asset. Supply does the rest of the work. 486 copies is small enough that a few determined buyers move the floor, and the number only shrinks. You can compare it against the whole classic market on the [items leaderboard](/items-leaderboard) or browse the era it belongs to through the [classic hats collection](/collections/classic-hats). Distinctiveness matters more than people expect. The hat reads instantly on an avatar and nothing else in the classic catalog looks like it. Compare that with the [Winter Cap series](/articles/winter-cap-series-history-roblox), another cold-weather line where several similar hats split the same demand. ## Should you buy a Soviet Ushanka? A collector's outlook At 425,000 R$ this is a large purchase for most traders, and the honest case for it rests on collector demand. The float is thin, so buying means paying the one seller who happens to be cheapest, and selling means waiting for a buyer who wants this specific hat. Items like that can sit for months between sales. If you want ushanka style for a normal budget, the UGC shelf does the job for a few thousand Robux, and you can browse what is live on the [UGC limited hats collection](/collections/ugc-limited-hats). Just size the purchase as a costume. The evidence across 198 of them is that copies of a famous shape do not inherit the original's value. None of this is financial advice. Limited prices move on sentiment, and a fifteen-year reputation can still fade.

It is a classic Limited U hat that Roblox released on February 18, 2011 for 500 Robux with a fixed stock the Roblox Wiki records as 500 copies. It is a black fur winter hat built on the same mesh as the 2009 Brown Ushanka, and our catalog tracks 486 copies of it today. ### How much is a Soviet Ushanka worth? Its RAP is 308,782 R$ and the cheapest copy listed is 425,000 R$ as of September 27, 2026. The floor is the number that matters when you buy, because you pay whatever the cheapest seller asks. ### How many Soviet Ushankas exist? RBX Invest tracks 486 copies. The Roblox Wiki records an original stock of 500, and the difference reflects copies lost to terminated and abandoned accounts over fifteen years. No new copies can be created. ### Can you still buy a Soviet Ushanka from Roblox? No. It sold out of its original stock long ago, so the only source is another player's resale listing. Buying a resale copy of a classic Limited starts a 7 day holding period before you can resell it. ### Is the Soviet Ushanka a Limited or a Limited U? It is a Limited U, meaning Roblox set the copy count before release and gave each copy a serial number in purchase order. A plain Limited had no copy cap and froze its supply whenever Roblox pulled it off sale. ### Did the Soviet Ushanka's design change? Yes. The Roblox Wiki records a texture update on November 21, 2024 that replaced the hammer-and-sickle emblem with a hammer and wrench, and a later edit removed the star. The change applied to every existing copy at once and left ownership untouched. ### Are UGC ushankas worth buying? They are cheap avatar items to wear. Our catalog holds 198 UGC ushanka Limiteds with a median RAP of 110 R$, and the highest RAP among them is 4,508 R$ on the Anarchists Ushanka. Copying a famous shape does not transfer the original's value. ### What is the Brown Ushanka? It is the ordinary catalog hat the Soviet Ushanka was retextured from, published by Roblox in May 2009 at a 120 Robux launch price according to the Roblox Wiki. It has no copy cap and no resale market, so it stays a costume piece. ## Keep reading - [When Animals Attack Roblox Series: All 4 Hats Ranked](https://rbxinvest.com/articles/when-animals-attack-series-history-roblox.md) - [Roblox Monster Limiteds: Every Item and Its Value](https://rbxinvest.com/articles/monster-limiteds-history-roblox.md) - [Tough Guy Cap: Roblox's 25-Copy Limited Hat](https://rbxinvest.com/articles/tough-guy-cap-roblox-history.md) - [Tasteless Shades and the Roblox Tasteless Series](https://rbxinvest.com/articles/tasteless-series-history-roblox.md) - [Shedletsekkar: Roblox's 2,000,000 Robux Limited](https://rbxinvest.com/articles/shedletsekkar-roblox-2-million-robux-limited.md) - [Roblox Axe Limiteds: Every Classic Axe Ranked](https://rbxinvest.com/articles/axe-limiteds-history-roblox.md) ## Related pages - [Every Item Histories article](https://rbxinvest.com/articles/topics/item-histories) (HTML only) - [All RBX Invest articles](https://rbxinvest.com/articles.md) - [Roblox Limiteds leaderboard](https://rbxinvest.com/items.md) - [Limiteds listed below RAP right now](https://rbxinvest.com/deals.md) --- Source: [RBX Invest](https://rbxinvest.com/articles/soviet-ushanka-roblox-history) — independent Roblox Limited analytics, not affiliated with Roblox Corporation.
