Russian Paratroopers Day
On August 2, 1930 near Voronezh a parachute subdivision of 12 men landed in the fields and this started a new tradition of the Soviet and then Russian army. This date is the professional holiday of paratroopers and is celebrated for already 79 years. Over this period landing troops took part in all armed conflicts of the former USSR. Nowadays these troops are believed to be the elite of the army. The motto of the Blue berets “Nobody but us”.
Ex-paratroopers go to the centre of the city and have fun meeting their friends and “colleagues”, swimming in fountains and drinking vodka. They may seem to be quite aggressive and brutal, but in fact they are rather calm, when not drunk. Anyways, being in the crowd of these ex-soldiers may cost you a lot, if you didn’t serve in the army, look like a gay and say some things they don’t approve (in general, it’s hard to say, what they don’t approve, so, it’s better just to keep your mouth shut unless you want to have problems).

OMG if these people are the “ELITE” squad of Russian army, I give up hope on Russia. Russia will never rise again. One Navy Seal in the US Navy will be equal to a battalion of these Russian elite. But i concede some guys are total hotties
Miss India……never mind!!
These guys are cannon fodder. Elite don’t get photographed.
You are equal to a pathetic moth that flew into my room yesterday and gut burned with a match and a deodorant.
Most of them look gay
looks like the gay pride parade
I see there bunch of drunk over sized people. Nothing to be proud of.
Where exactly do you see oversized people?
The only fat dude in the fountain?
I was quite surprised to see so many of them in such a great shape considering that they probably drink and smoke lots.
care to fight any of them ?
It’s good once a year to meet old friends, have a few drinks and be proud. I wish the para’s did the same in the UK.
What a very homoerotic event…
Very Nice! Other countries have similar event: Gay Pride Day
They should rename Russian Paratroopers Day to “Telyashka Day”. The striped shirts have a sense of pride to the Russian military.
Telnyashka Day is Naval Day, was a week before Paratrooper’s Day.
Someone should tell them the striped shirts look gay.
Seriously, with all the men hugging and kissing, I’d think this was a gay pride parade until someone told me differently.
I wouldn’t wnat to fight them though - they might butt-rape me.
It’s quite hypocritical of them to be homophobic and metrosexual at the same time (they all seem to shave their armpits).
striped tight shirts and tight pants, thats pretty gay looking.
Tough guys. Every country has their own
PS: Does anyone here know this Russian music group
1) I think they are called Mezami
2) Lead singer is called Shuva or Szuva
3) Lead singer is also a painter and in the Russian Academy of Artists
4) They are not from Moscow or St. Pertersburg
I looked on GOOGLE with no luck for them. Heard them on the radio being interviewed. Sound interesting.
http://www.mezzamo.ru this group you are looking for. trey are from Tver,a small town not far from Moscow
Are you sure this is not pride parade???? The dudes in fountain are prolly 69′ng by now hehe
Stupid bulls.
MIЛIЦЫЯ? The second part after the priest are from Belarus!
Theese guys is absolutly crazy. And it is very goode. The true soldier must be crazy and fearless. If will be need, they kick your fat american asses as nobody before. However, this may you enjoy :))
I dont sorry for my english beсause distort and murder the English language - a sacred duty of every normal human being.
Most guys are in such good shape that it’s almost hard to believe this is indeed part of Russian army !! Which in general is pale, starving from lack of decent food and bored because there is nothing to do.
Just another example of the Russian drunks.
Puta madre pipiolo.
Your mama wants me.
Why can’t every day be graduation day?
you cant fight these guys
Another frigging post of mine deleted!!! I give up!!!!! I don’t understand why I’m being censored!
This takes place in Minsk, which is in the caption. That is Belarus.
Also, if you can read Cyrillic, the bottom of the license plate says “Belarus”.
Some of these pictures are from Ukraine. Militia car has Ukrainian writing on it. For the record: these are really low level soldiers, most likely draftees, professionals will never show up at a spectacle like this. No showing off just doing the job. Russia rules ONCE AGAIN !! I wanted to be in army but was not admited because of weak knees and lack of mental endurance. I was happy!!!!! Shows that ELITE troops are taking themselves serious and not just letting every idiot in. Too bad pay is very bad: 300 dollars p/month is a good income for an officer, but you can retire at the age of 40 or so. But most are dead by then or have lasting fisical problems like bad backs, broken meniscus and stuff like that. Which is not compensated.
Chicken shit info. Go back to your fist-fucking.
False kirov, seriously, stop lying. The elite troops do get decent pay, and vast majority of them end their term strong and healthy. Not dead like you claim (well, you are a sad loser, so I’m not surprised).
Does it get you a boner for insulting them? Seriously, I bet the average geek on this site could beat you up. I’m surprised the recruiters didn’t just laugh at you and throw you out.

Why don’t you get your own name here and stop impersonating me. Durak.
Belarus, man, not Ukraine
Belarus, man, not Ukraine!
Just a bunch of frat boys doing a little tailgating before the big game.
eewwww nasty fat ass and men in thongs.
If I just would see the photos -no headline, no text- I would think it is a parade of gay. How they pose and hug each other.
If that guys dont look gay I dont know who would.
“Shows that ELITE troops are taking themselves serious and not just letting every idiot in.”
This will always be true and these type of people will always be somewhere to be found in the population of a given country. ELITE means just that, The Best you can find.
This is a tradition just like frat parties in the US.
Now I can see why these guys didn’t make it through Afghanistan. I’ve never seen a drunk Canadian soldier, let alone one swimming in a public water fountain…they’d be arrested by the military police. Russia needs a vodka- free “professional army” or it’s next meaningful engagement could be a Chernobyl like experience. I’ve seen these draftees in Varadero,Cuba & if drinking was war they’d have won every battle.
Bugagahaha! Glad you think that. Its good if people really believe in what you wrote.
they look like brainless mongoloids. no surprise here.
oh, man. i wonder if u can say that to their face
1 good sniper is all it takes….
Red Square,the center of the world!
I wonder if any of these tough ruskies know Sambo!
They just very expressive, there is nothing about sex.
so…you determine the ability of a country to defend itself based on how hot the soldiers are? I’ve read your posts and you obviously have no idea what life is like in Russia and are constantly putting their citizens and traditions down.
Sambo is a Russian martial art.My brother in law learned it when he was in the Russian army.
He taught me some of it the last time I was in Ekaterinburg!
да, бля, англосаксонская пидерастия сквозит из каждого комента. говномесы, хуле…
Russian paratroopers are very severe despite drunkenness!
lol!
Read carefully!
“Ex-paratroopers go to the centre of the city and have fun”
interestingly it will be to look as you will change the opinion appear such fellow for you on a way.
I am sorry for promt
Paratroopers? Looks more like the annual gay parade!
I’d wear a virginity belt instead of a gun if I ever encouter those guys…
Yes they are very tough, these paratroopers. But people in other countries don’t have to be afraid of them, their only victims are local people whom they beat up while being drunk.
