  We introduce a generic mechanism that can extend the effects of relic
anisotropies at the beginning of inflation to relatively much shorter scales in
density perturbations. This is induced by non-Bunch-Davies states of the
quantum fluctuations, and can show up in the non-oscillatory components of the
density perturbations. This mechanism works for general forms of anisotropies,
and, to illustrate it, we use an example of relic vector field. The detailed
scale-dependence of these anisotropies can be used to probe the initial quantum
state of our universe.
