soldiers | English Russia

In one of our previous posts we have already told you about shootings they exercise in Alabino. So, this time they invited

journalists and photographers to the firing ground again, where a newly formed brigade of snipers exercised in shooting.

These are some photos of the events which took place during the Winter War

(between the Soviet Union and Finland), soldiers and their life. Take a look!

This time we're going to tell you about the 46th Separate Rapid Deployment Brigade

in the Chechen Republic, which celebrated its birthday on November, 1st.

These are some photos of those whom the Russians should be thankful to for

the year of 1945 and the peace time they're living in right now.

These are some drawings and paintings created by unknown artists. Apparently,

these were soldiers who took part in different military operations.

On Novermber, 2nd in Naro-Fominsk, a demonstration of training of the reconnaissance company of the 4th tank brigade took place. The event was timed to the Military Reconnaissance Day, which they celebrate in Russia on November, 5th.

Reconnaissance parties are very important for the army because they provide it with information. That is why soldiers should be ready for anything, such as shooting, fighting, firing mines, throwing knives, making an ambush, etc.

When draftees were making these sculptures for children's playgrounds, they did not mean anything nasty (we hope so!).

So, take a look at these masterpieces scattered around a small city called Teykovo in the Ivanovo Region.

The red beret is a uniform cap of special mission units of Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Ukraine. It is a boast and pride of each special squad soldier. Only

those who manage to stand special tests, have a right to wear the red beret. Besides, it can be granted to soldiers who show courage performing a mission.

Let's visit the 16th special forces brigade. Get to know the army life. Have you ever been to the firing ground? We offer you to see how the

soldiers of the 16th special forces brigade do their business. Specially for this day, officers arranged a demonstration available to everyone.

Russians are working on a new project - "Special mission". This time the participants are working not in the rich sets adroitly imitating some extreme environment but in absolutely real conditions of a Russian military unit. All the participants are people who are

really far from the army. In some weeks under the command of real veteran officers they have to turn into tempered, disciplined soldiers ready to attain special combat tasks. In fact it's not just a TV show, it's more likely a real army experiment.
