Question about Russian
Why every Russian home has this carpet? And more I'm curious about is, why do you hang it on the walls?

@Utku1010 It's just that in Soviet times it was something like a fashion to hang carpets on the wall. Now no one hangs them up, they can be seen in old houses and houses of the older generation

Many people hang these rugs to make a room more cosy, but some people, like me, use it as thermal insulation because I live in a cold city where it can snow even in May.

I would say that this is the exception rather than the rule. Now they have remained only in the houses of very old people. Yes, it was a tradition back then, but not now.
PS but, of course, if someone hangs them on the wall for any practical reason, like @ELELINA said, well, l it makes sense. I don't want to offend anyone🤗.

Partly because of practical reasons: it can help, if you have a problem with cold walls near bed, or bad soundproofing. But mostly it was just a idea of interior beauty. Now it's not popular anymore, only as meme or reason for jokes about bad style.

I have one hanging on the wall at my home currently. I don’t know much history behind this phenomenon, but I think that it’s something that has its roots in the culture of Soviet Union. It appears that back then it was treated like a valuable purchase, so that placing it on the floor would be treated like act of blasphemy. It had to be placed in the spotlight as a sort of a demonstration of the owner’s “prosperity”, and, well, perhaps just to demonstrate that he knows a thing or two about something refined. Frankly, some of these carpets indeed are refined, making it a waste to just lay them on the floor and stomp them every day with your slippers; therefore, hanging them on walls helped to better preserve their condition, significantly increasing their lifespan.
