    Default Russian WWII Reenactors

    I ran across this today and thought y'all might enjoy it. Lots and lots of Mosins...

    Brings me back to the good old days... what with the marching, and the complaining, and the bad food, and the horribly cramped sleeping quarters, and the stink of makhorka (that someone managed to actually find a source for), and the threats of putting my boot up someones patoot if they don't stop wasting blanks shooting at birds on the way to the field... good times... good times...

    Stalin you probably know this. Are these re-enactments sponsored and supplied by the government? Not up on Russian firearms laws, can these men and women own these weapons? Very cool regardless.

    That is fun. I happen to do a couple of Eastern Front events a year and they are great. Nice to see German and Russian Armor. By the way this is in California.

    In Belarus the government supports re-enacting. I believe that the government in the Russian Federation supports the re-enacting clubs, but possibly to a lesser extent than in Belarus. Without support they wouldn't be able to get the tanks and artillery or the permission to use them.

    After getting a license shotguns for hunting have always been legal for private citizens, even in Soviet times. Handguns are strictly illegal as are assault rifles (auto or semi-auto). Nowadays I would guess that some bolt action hunting rifles might be allowed upon obtaining a license. I am quite sure that the re-enactors do not own the weapons that they are using during their re-enactments.
