The first dudes were "noticed" in the USSR in the first years after the end of the Second World War. These were the children of diplomats and trade workers — those who often traveled abroad. Watching the western life, young people also tried to stand out, to emphasize their individuality. The basis was taken Western fashion trends, music and other attributes of the new subculture. Thus began the story of a new subculture and all that was connected with it.

Young people themselves were originally called shtatnikami, that is, those who follow the example of the United States. However, in 1949 on the pages of the then popular satirical magazine "Crocodile" was published a feuilleton about staff members, in which their behavior was called unworthy and even harmful to conservative Soviet society.
