They are a turban-type hardneck which I guess indicates the shape? The name 'Maiskij' refers to May, when it is usually harvested. Last year they were dug mid May and were well formed but it was a lot warmer last spring so maybe a little later this year.
I just found this about Maiskij and turbans in general:

Looks like they're supposed to make scapes but mine didn't last year. Maybe they could have stayed in the ground a bit longer but they were fully formed and pretty when I pulled them.
