Soviet War Games
War games were quite usual and sometimes even obligatory thing in Soviet Union both for children (pioneers) and for adults. “Zarnitsa” (sheet lightning) was the most widespread and famous one, when a big group of people was divided into two confronting teams. The aim was to capture a flag, “secret” documents or army headquarters. Here are some historical photos. It looks like a real war.

I don`t think Boris,you did these comments?at the height of cold war,soviets and their allies must had prepare himself and ready to answer any threat from the capitalist evils.these are not enjoying `paint ball` game but for the survival of great revolution and world`s first true peoples state.
Whatever you say dude
Fuck all the morons who did these fucking drills.i don`t care what they want and deserve.ha ha ha ha………….
That zafarad guy maybe a communist but he’s damn funny!
Are you mad?
No, why would I be mad?
yeah…prepare themselves. My friends told me all about the travails of war games. Ha! you learned how to fire a gun and sat around talking. Hardly the dedicated warriors of the first great peoples State. You know the state where the people didn’t have a voice and were told what to do, what to say and what to wear. Yes sounds like a utopia to me.
They defeated the weremacht. If they had not, we would now be living in the “utopia” you describe.

Dying literacy is systematically auto-killed.
The formaldehyde street of buyers and hanging wires.
Moisturize that dry synergy with artificial sweetener.
Raining money into the high-rise mega-temples.
You can not write the word “ignorance”. The future is on sale.
Push aside and laugh at the karmic tale saying it’s superstition.
Now it is coming to you,given off a stench and devouring your shadow.
The parade of terror is coming,and it is in your name.
The roaring MC becomes a lethal dose for the public.
On the street of cripples, selling diamonds and battered Tao.
Behold all that is liberty is a parody of Utopia.
Rely on SSRI and say ‘hi-ho’ in the coffee shop.
Minor theory is filmflam, hedonism is on sale.
It is non-repayable, it has reached the point no return.
Now it is coming to you giving off a stench, devouring your shadow.
The parade of terror is coming,and it is in your name.
Now your shadow procreates as if the ground is being smothered.
The parade of lunacy is coming, and it is in your name
it looks like the volgograd museum scenery.
I wonder what they used as a substitute for bullets?
They don`t need any kind of dummy stuff.why they use fake cartridges,when they had trillions of real bullets and millions of POWs! ! ! ! ! !
Why do you always strike like wild turkey?
In Soviet Russia, flag captures YOU!
hoax, photoshop
FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Both cool and practical…
Ah, the days before lan partys.
coool, nice amazing pictures
You are just a liers. Cheap liers. Monkies.
As I understood, they didn’t use a bullets during a game at all. But on a specially equiped grounds (and it’s my own experience from school) we did, but there wasn’t any chance to shot sobemody (if you don’t really tried, of course;))
Children played Zarnitsa without any weapons and bullits. Instead of that everybody slightly sewed some kind of shoulder straps and you needed to tear them off from your “enemy” when fighting (no fist beating but just wrestling). If both straps are off your are dead. If one only your are wounded. It was really cool. Much better than paintball, although I like it as well.
Typical Soviet tactic at that time, overwhelm the enemy in sheer numbers!
if they used flags on each guy what were the AK-47s for?
Not so many pics to make an optimal impession.
That pic looks like its been pulled the History Channel or something. These type of games could have inspired the early forms of paintball ie “capture the flag” ect..I was never a fan of the “Farmer marking his cows”, as the birth of paintball.
Olly
Great blog what is the best paintball gun in your opinion?If you don’t me asking.
