Not sure which would scare me more, the bears or the Cossacks! I see three different firearms in that first pic: AK-47, Ppsk, and SVD (was gonna say a M-N, but the bayo is too short, modern-style, not the long skewer).
Oh yes, Lukeya. The Bear Cav Cossacks are pretty friendly -- to us -- the relationship goes back to Tikhon and Grafton (19th C). I usually stock up on a few industrial pallets worth of "Stoly" before they visit; pricey? Sure, but worth it.

ReplyDeleteBoth are terrifying, Mattexian. Looks like the shadowy figure in the background has some captured Nazi kit too, interestingly.
ReplyDeleteFortunately for me, the cossacks are fairly well disposed towards trad Anglicans.
Have you tested that theory recently Padre?
