Football Fans Brawl
After (or before) watching or visiting the football match, some Russian football fans like to go out, gather in groups and fight with each other. They call such fight a “mahach”, from the word “mahatsia”, which means to fight with somebody. Here are the pictures and the video of the typical fans “mahach” that took place in Rostov-On-Don. Probably this tradition goes from the ancient Slavonic fisticuffs; it was a real national fun in Ancient Russia when village met village each weekends in a row on row boxing fun.
So in modern Russia it’s not considered to be violent like a corrida (bullfight) in Spain or Boxing in USA, it’s the same like a boxing but at the same time hundreds of athletes fight on their good will. Maybe someday organized crowd row boxing would be included into Olympic Games official sports list?
The Wedding Fun
People in Russia say that there is no wedding without a fight. That’s not right, there are. But not this one.
Russian Mortal Combat
The people on the video are not just people from the street, these are people who always mess around liquor stores begging for some change to buy vodka for themselves, they are from one side of the conflict. Whom are they opposing to I can’t figure out.
Fight for Democracy
What happens when a state was deprived of the democracy for many many years and then receives it?
Delegates of Russian and Ukrainian parlaiments use all the democratic arguments they have, including their hands and legs. A few days ago we had here a video of Mr. Zhirinovsky, Russian Parliament Chairman Deputy fighting with his colleague, today we have a democracy used on practice in Ukrainian parlaiment.
