No Snowball Fight For These Guys – Swords at Dawn!

Forbidden from having a snowball fight, these enterprising young people have come up with another way of playing in the snow.

From Dirty.ru:

No snowballs

This morning, I was woken up by unusual noises and heart-rending screams from the street. Looking out of the window, I discovered a crowd of people armed to the teeth who were staging battles ten metres away from my block.
The police were nowhere to be seen. Risking my health, I decided to take a few photos…

Comments from Dirty.ru:

Kislov:

DID YOU TALK TO THE ORGANISERS? WAS IT AN AGREED EVENT? WERE THERE PARAMEDICS AND POLICE THERE?

Biochemik: (responding to above)

[…] It had been agreed with Richard III and the Archbishop of Canterbury!

botsman2005:

Wait! Very important: Were they fighting for Putin or against him?

svb: (responding to above)

[…] Both sides were fighting for Putin, of course.

Fine them all for trampling on the snow!

kWoof:

This should have been organised on social networks. The police don’t read ancient chronicles.

FancaR:

In a team like that you could even take on the riot police

ADR4_2:

I’ve always wanted to ask, do you just brawl, or do people use techniques from fencing? From what I’ve seen, it seemed like it was just “hit him with a piece of metal”, but maybe that’s just how it appeared?

Mathematician:

Who got the ring?

[…] You spotted the basketball hoops in the photos too?
