It's the cotton that's unrealistic in Russia at that time. I can imagine some cotton finding its way along the Silk Road into Russia into the hands of someone wealthy, but then they wouldn't use it as a lining, it would be on display as an exotic fabric. Also it would be far cheaper and far warmer to use wool or fur!
