Former paratroopers celebrate Airborne Forces Day in Minsk
Former paratroopers in Minsk traditionally celebrated Airborne Forces Day on August 2, BelaPAN said.
The holiday started to be observed in the Soviet era. On this date, ex-paratroopers put on the most distinguishing pieces of the uniform of the USSR’s Airborne Forces (“VDV”), a telnyashka (blue and white striped undershirt) and a blue beret, and gather in public places.
Many former paratroopers were seen near a monument to veterans of the Soviet Union`s foreign wars. Following another tradition, they consumed much alcohol and bathed in fountains, something that is normally not allowed by police.
