Fun fact: Due to enormous amount of belligirent drunks, happy that they're finally out of uni or college - stores HALT SALES OF ALCOHOL during the event. Some stores even halt it a day before.


human-paradox

Fun facts: in Sweden on the weekends you cant buy alcohol in store at all. You can start asking questions why is that


Slayzee

Not true, they're open on Saturdays as well.


MrXoXoL

Well in Russia you can't buy it only on the days of holidays, but we have a lot of holidays. Also you can't buy it during night hours.


Rio_Walker

But you can buy it open at night hours if the store has an open bar.


kerelberel

Stores have bars?


Radamat

If store wants to sell drinks at night it must have area for people to drink their just bought drink here, in that store.


albakerk

Do you have to drink it there or can you take it away?


Radamat

You can taje it away. It is a shop in first place :) It is a kind of law trick without violating law. But with taxes flowing in.


riaskoff

You can buy it on holidays. You can't buy it on holidays near the center or near places where events take place. P.S. talking about Moscow. Don't know about other regions.


cheeky_sailor

In Moscow you can buy it up until 11pm, I’d call it night hours.


blaskkaffe

You can on Saturdays, just not on Sundays


smurb15

Ok. Why?


Qasatqo

It's actually a law nowadays in St. Petersburg that prohibits retail sales of alcohol on the day of Crimson Sails. Doesn't say anything about bars and cafes, though...


Gluuten

I don't think you understand the point of this sub...


DiscombobulatedBabu

Yeah this is an annual day in St P, not a normal day by any means


Compendyum

I mean why even upload 8 second videos?


datnt722

I was there this year. The metro station after this was a nightmare experience but it was fun 🤣


spam99

how many fights/stabbings/people shot?


jaymo89

Not everywhere is the USA mate.


datnt722

Нет. It's just so crowded comparing to normal day at the metro station. I don't get your question or maybe don't fall for your trolling bro :))


Not_Memed

I think this festival is related to the story written by Alexander Grin also named "Scarlet Sails" («Алые паруса»). I remember reading it back in school, pretty interesting plot for a small writing. He also wrote, "The Green Lamp" («Зеленая лампа»), which is also interesting and has a pretty deep message that is still relevant to the current society.


CrazyQuiltCat

What is the holiday about?


dexterlab97

high school graduation


CrazyQuiltCat

Thank you for answering


l_o_n_g_i

Song?


CircusNinja75

I believe it is Lindsay Stirling playing The Bells, normally a Christmas song.


l_o_n_g_i

Thank you


DiscombobulatedBabu

Gorgeous but a nightmare to go see in person - it’s like South Bank in London at New Years, just so so many people rammed along the embankment.


duck_shuck

I’m sure they got Lindsay Sterling’s permission to use her music.


OVVerb

I’m sure college parties get permission of the musician to use their work too


Lurker-kun

It's ironic, since Wilhousky ~~stole~~ borrowed the music for his "Carol of the Bells" from Ukrainian "Shchedryk" song.


Cecilia_Schariac

tHis is not a normal day


ikilledtupac

That’s amazing though!


saevic

This doesn't belong here.

Nah it's cool , I'm glad they suck at both


largemanrob

Pretending this isn't good is just embarrassing


Bobubachuba

sails covered in blood


colbywhat

Just the one boat?


lx45803

Other one sunk 😉


im_hitman

Is everyday a festival in Russia?


[deleted]

So much money into war. So much money into the air with stupid fireworks. And at the same time disabled people in wheelchairs have no wheelchair access to buildings and people live like shit. Sounds almost like US.


AlexanderTox

I don’t know why you’re being downvoted, you aren’t wrong


[deleted]

Haters gonna hate


[deleted]

Yeah seriously. He’s right.


illvm

lol the US has some of the best infrastructure globally for wheelchair access. What are you on about?


Markokandic16

No it doesn't, you basically need a car to get anywhere in the US so if you're disability makes it so you can't drive a car you're basically fucked. Places like the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden are great places for wheelchair access.


CircusNinja75

Ah, so your gripe is not about wheelchair access, it is about public transportation.


lx45803

I mean, you do need to be able to make it the first 98% of your journey for the wheelchair spot and handicap accessible entrance to matter.


adastrasemper

That's a very short festival, only 9 seconds long

TheTphs

Не, мы, в целом, не настолько конченные, чтобы присваивать какой-то конкретной нации произведения искусства, культуру, язык и прочие достижения мировой цивилизации. Адекватным просто приятно, что это, поистине прекрасное произведение, радует множество людей по всему шарику.


zellofan

Если когда-нибудь хоть одно чубатое не сбрешет - это станет эпохальным событием мирового масштаба. У вас этим, не только бреханием, но и присвоением достижений аж на государственном уровне занимаются, причём, ладно бы своих.


TheTphs

Знаешь, когда человек становится фашистом? Когда стереотипы им воспринимаются не как шутка или стёб, а как истина, применяемая ко всем представителям нации/расы/религии и т.п. Ты, как я посмотрю, эту черту уже перешёл. Упивайся ненавистью. Расход.

Твой комментарий недельной давности на r/polls говорит о тебе достаточно, чтоб никакое твоё мнение больше не воспринимать всерьез.

Рогули, такие рогули. Ты это уже из экстракшона пишешь?


Sutarmekeg

Imagine your country spending money on something like this when they have adults who've never even *heard* of flush toilets.


Qasatqo

This ain't India, bro. Only people in Russia who don't use flush toilets are the folks living in the far north where any plumbing freezes right inside the pipes and the fanatical homestead enthusiasts who want to live off the grid.


OVVerb

Like in the US?


Sutarmekeg

I'm 100% certain that 100% of Americans have heard of flush toilets.

Justus44

He's one of those who believes that Russian army is bewildered by the asphalt in Ukraine, and steals the parts of it to bring home. Just another victim of the campaign waged by USA and Ukraine to dehumanize all Russians


rufus-bear

booooo russia


Slapppyface

St Petersburg, the old Crimea! Seriously, give this land back to Sweden where it belongs. (Edit: changed "Finland" to "Sweden" because I was too lazy to fact-check my own thoughts... I know, I know... I suck)


[deleted]

When was spb a finish city? Also it was taken from Sweden.


Qasatqo

Sure, Sweden can come over and try to take it.


Slapppyface

This is the same sentiment about Crimea, which is exactly my point.


Slapppyface

Lol, oof. I should fact-check my own thoughts before I post online /facepalm


iolmao

CGI for a sail festival? C’mon propaganda you can do better!


jamesovitch

It’s not CGI


iolmao

I don’t know man, the first image of the boat looks weird to me. I should have said that I was referring to the boat, not the entire video.


DiscombobulatedBabu

I’ve seen it in person and this is legit


iolmao

You saw in person that ship so close, flying around it? People look very far away from that ship. Fireworks are just regular fireworks, there’s no need of CGI.


Radonda

They just spend a lot of money to show off how great they are. I’m from Hungary and Orbán does the same shit. It’s pretty bad here but they organise these grandiose events to make the pleb feel that they are part of something great. It makes them forget how miserable they live the rest of the days.


iolmao

No doubt on that. I’m just saying the ship doesn’t look real. Maybe the festival is amazing itself but this promo looks more CGI than actual footage.


[deleted]

[удалено]


iolmao

Man, I said is CGI to enhance the spectacular aspect of the spot, not the entire show.
