If you thought that Russia’s reputation as a land of “party animals” was undeserved look at these images. All over the old Soviet Union, the same sort of wild hijinks take place in late May. The kids jump into fountains, drink Soviet Champagne (and anything else that they can lay hands upon), and generally do EVERYTHING forbidden by their former school’s regulations. It’s what kids have always done (and will always do in future)… didn’t we?
By the way, this is proof to starry-eyed konvertsy that Russia’s just an ordinary country, full of the same ol’ sinful-ginfuls that you find anywhere. Yes, Virginia, there IS “Holy Russia“… but it’s not obvious and you have to look for it (indeed, some of these partiers might surprise you). Things are NEVER what they appear to be… and there’s NOTHING unholier and more diabolical than a smarmy pietistic “religious” sort. On the other hand, “Unholy holiness” pops up everywhere… be prepared to be surprised. Oh, yes… don’t forget the church key…
