    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.
