Watermelon War
In our recent publications we told about how Russia celebrates the day of Russian airborne troops, called “VDV day”, when some of drunk paratroopers swim in the fountains and sometimes can even beat people.
So happened in Lipetsk city, when the big group of celebratings came to the central market. Thought they didn’t discover any Azerbaijan owners of the counters, they started to smash up all the watermelons. Following this incident, the victims became Russian saleswomen, which now have to pay large compensation for the spoilt goods.
And what’s about the police, they simply didn’t prevent the lawbreakers from the rampage.

Yyyraaa! The heroes have returned from Estonia!!
I don’t get it… they’re allowed to exhibit poor behaviour at the expense of others or they just do it because they’re drunk and don’t care? Either way, it’s very stupid and I feel bad looking at the picture of the woman crying as she’s watching her livelyhood being smashed on the ground.
Yes, that is actually the essence of Russia!
That is why many reasonable people are still leaving it…
Kind of reminding you American ghettos, isn’t it? But you won’t get that either.
American ghettos? Of course I don’t get that either because I’m not American and have never lived in America.
Why are you acting so defensive…are you a boneheaded melon smasher???
No, he is one of the two guys in picture number 12.
These arent your local street thugs.. this is the military and no the american military will not come to the ghetto and destroy a vendors products. There would be some serious repercussions and the vendor would be compensated. The government needs to step in and pay this women for her watermelons plus extra for her troubles.
And NO, Russians are not inhumane people, If this was the mother of any of the soldiers, I’m sure this would be different.
The american military is known to get drunk and go wild too, it happens every day, but those responsible get punished and those affected get reimbursed.
You have a mental problem with USA, go to a doctor (non-Russian.)
They’re allowed do exhibit poor behaviour EXACTLY because they’re drunk and dangerous. They went through some serious training in the army and police is simply afraid to do anything. However, I would love to see those “paratroopers” fighting with real enemy on the battlefield. Would they be so clever? I don’t think so.
+1000 points for you!
Send them to Chechnya!
(I’m sure they won’t smile and probably their mothers would be the ones crying…)
A few years ago a group of guys tried the same thing before the Russian government kicked the foreigners out of the markets. The pictures of the aftermath of that incident was quite different — it showed there were lots of bleeding, drunk paratroopers and some Azeri men rubbing their knuckles. Actually, I am surprised that the babushki did not take care of these idiots as well.
The Russian army should take the photos to punish the participants because it makes the Army look like a bunch of undisciplined hooligans.
Those babushkas look PISSED.
I expect to see this drunken, unruly mob destroying villages and small children next.
palatki raznesli?
This is actually a very small incident probably not even worth mentioning. The pic on top is awesome though - it looks like a dolphin holding up a flag.
Stealing watermelons is gay. I would know.

that looks gay
u look gay
There has to be more to this story, but on the surface it looks like yet another example of Russian thuggery.
I’d offer possible solutions or explanations, but knowing Russians as I do they wouldn’t listen, and would probably become offended that I even offered to help.
Respect for thier fellow human is NOT something I have observed Russians having a great deal of.
They are not bad persons, or impolite… they are just drunk.
and they are drunk 90% of the time they are not asleep…
Nigger mentality.
I heard that in Europe russians are being called “white negroes”.

Drunkenness is not an excuse, it only brings out in a person what was already there. Drunken foolishness & hate-filled idiocy.
what the hell is going on there?
It looks like a whole russian batalion is hungry for watermelons, but too poor to buy one?
Looks like more Flying Monkeys.
fucking assholes
i wish they will put that watermelons in to their asses
those idiots spent 2 years in army about 15-20 years ago and still think they are supermen
i doubt they could hold a stick if the war will happened
such a shame
can you repeat this to them? foolish, isn’t?
THEY LOOK SO GAY…LOOKS LIKE A GAY PRIDE PARADE…
This looks even more gay than the fountain pictures.
These slavs are a disgrace to their uniform. The Russians who fought Nazi Fascism would be ashamed of these morons.
the gay soldiers looked hot. i thought it was a nice pic, really weird and out of place compared to all the rest though.
I’ve been to city of Lipetsk and this vegetable market last summer.it’s actually a very beautiful city with very great people(at least I didn’t meet any of these army people,thanks god)…and right now I really want a watermellon!
This is just “gopniki”. Sad!(
What a vile pack of baboons. They could at the very least steal them to use as vodka party refreshment instead of breaking them on the road. Shooting these pigs would improve Russia’s (and the planet’s) gene pool.
I wish US Marines would do this on November 10th. The VDV deserve to do whatever the hell they want, they’re elite bad asses who serve the motherland 2nd to the Spetsnaz for very cheap pay. It was almost priceless to see the looks on those civilians’ faces when they had to pick up all that crap on the ground.
If they come to Britain to try and smash our watermelons, they’ll have a fight on their hands.
Watermelon trading business in Russia is traditionally controlled by people from Caucasus, Azerbaijani, Chechens, Georgians, and others. Many of these paratroopers participated in wars in Caucasus. Consequently, they have very bad feelings to Caucasus people. Moreover, many of those Caucasians who live in Russia are frequently behave very impudently and aggressively against Russians. They are famous for high crime rate. Relationships between Russians and Caucasians in Russia are quite tough. I would say it is similar to relationships between whites and blacks in the US. So, even though this behavior of paratroopers is illegal and I am not supporting them, there are certain reasons for that. They are only attacking businesses which belong to Caucasians, and only on the paratrooper’s day. Once a year. If I were a trader, I would just close my business for that day to avoid accidents and that’s it.
