As a fellow Russian reenactment officer I must say I am extremely impressed by this, my unit needs a lot of work to march like that, and they don't do to good with non English commands, one day I hope to excel to this level
Brandon2495 when he was telling him where to look and he starts moving! He did keep it pretty clean but still I thought he was going to murder him. I just watched a bunch of your stuff and enjoyed them. S! from Ost-Battailon 439 POA, fighting to liberate Russia from the Bolshevik menace.
the guy in the front is actually trying but the rest are absolutely fucking terrible their syncing is shit when commanded to halt, turn, ground arms, and a lot more of things to criticize on. They shouldn't be disrespecting those uniforms and drill moves. These three looks like some teenages with snotty attitude.
Guys, very well done! But there are some improvements that need to be made, on 2:15 when you walk with guns on your arms which is executed by a command «на руку» (on hand (na ruku)) if you hold a weapon like that, you walk in solemn march, which means that you don’t bend your knees, you throw your leg out, pulling toes in front, and you make strong step) But still, very well executed, comrades)) This is the best re-enactment of rkka soldiers I’ve seen in the West) Respect you guys for effort and research you have done!
Raz, raz, raz-dva-tri (one, one, one-two-three) - An odd account must given under the left foot, an even account is given under the right foot. Therefore, sometimes they say it like this: “left, left, one-two-three.” On the command “направо марш! (right march!)” everyone had to turn at the same time, and the column would turn into a line. And the turn that you made on the video is made by the command “левое плечо вперёд! (left shoulder forward!)”.
This entire video was recorded by one of the men who didn't want to take part in the drill. Indeed, the furthest man when we're standing in formation is me. I'm also at the front, beside the sergeant, when we're marching through the encampments.
As someone who lives in St. Louis and has been to reenactments at Jefferson Barracks, I'd say it is a great place for it. What did you think of it and the sweltering Missouri heat?
As a russian reenactor i can say that i am rather impressed with the general appearance and the officer has done a good job. However he was very leaniant with that boy xD ours would give you a good slap if you dare to smile or laugh. They will learn :) drill, drill and drill and learn the language. It will come in very handy. Also dont eat too much, hunger makes you march a little better
As a Russian, this looks really bizarre to me :D Did they learn Russian just to shout commands at each other? And do the soldiers actually understand the officer?

I'd hope to do this Some time, I just joined a Reeanacting Group, The 416th Rifle Regiment, 112th Division. I dont have Kit yet, But I have found a Joined a Regiment! So that's the First step!
It's the sort of thing that might be employed against any fixed-position enemy, though normally done with far more people! It would allow suppressing fire to support an advancing force.
While it's always an expensive hobby, especially when you do it properly and include things like proper boots and a greatcoat with your impression, Soviet tends to be a fair bit cheaper than the others because of how barebones most of the kit really is.
Interesting. That is what I figured. I wanted to get into it however I did not like spending the large amounts on a uniform such as the German and American ones.
I was at a summer camp once a fews years back, With military drill and such, and I can not keep a straight face very well when standing at Attention. If I felt like laughing id just bite my tongue slightly, Keep the straight face at all costs!
so how do you go about blank adapting an svt 1940 these days? 5:43 he should ripped off the guards badge and thrown it on the ground lol. "ironic" that the "most decorated" is the worst fuck up. or not.....
This group is no longer active, but if you're interested in WW2 Soviet reenactment I'd recommend looking up "History Club «Istochnik»" on Facebook! Also if you look at my channel's Community tab, you will find links to a more recent reenactment I've attended which that organisation put on.
@@historyarmyproductions I see them on the inside of coffee shops, patches on peoples jackets, small banners on people’s cars and bicycles, I see them everywhere
This is the World's longest running WWII re-enactment. It seems a pity that today the 2024 JB WWII Days event is in jeopardy. Rumor has it a new park official does not want one of our WWIIHRS oldest German units to participate. How can you play cops and robbers with no robbers? I have attended every such event at JB and am the founder of the WWII HRS, Inc. It will be sad to see an almost half-century tradition die because some knucklehead.
A bit of a late reply, but even just walking every day can help. I knew a guy I used to play historical video games with who was well over 300 pounds and couldn't fit into a uniform at all. He hated that he couldn't reenact and if he ever did, he didn't want to be a walking tub of lard in a soldier's uniform - his words. That said, he got off his ass and started with walking, then jogging, then running. Eating right and losing weight like crazy. About 2 years down the road he joined the USMC like he always wanted to, got surgery to get rid of his excess skin, and looks good in a historical uniform! So you know, it's absolutely possible! He's not the only one, but perhaps the more dramatic one I've seen. Your future and what you want to do with it is up to you! Herzliche Grüße

His russian is rather broken and it's hilarious. Still he did good trying
I think it may be polish
Id say Ukrainian
it sounds convincing, I'm not Russian but he can spit out sentence after sentence
He did stutter once or twice, but in fact the Russian was pretty good.
i'm slav but not russian i think it sounds kinda okay.
I was laughing my ass off, that poor kid had no idea of the dressing down he was getting.
We hadn't 'rehearsed' anything beforehand, so we only found out what he was even saying afterwards!

"Liberate" is an interesting way to spell "burn and pillage"! Not to say the Reds were any better...
Thank you!
They didnt call them the Rape Army for no reason
@@BrandonF So what did he say??
I always look for a reenacting unit that practices drill. Nothing looks worse than a bunch of dudes waddling around in "costumes".
I feel the same way. I've always thought drilling and parading to be the most fun parts of any reenactment, aside from talking with the public.

Filip Sedlák bahbahahahahahahahahahahhaha
Hes speaking Russian
I hope that's a joke.....
But- but-
He’s not speaking polish
1:02 I noticed here how in sync they were walking.
Brandons military grade poker face is by far the most impressive thing about this video.
Impressive. No easy task to pull off believable Russkies!
+J. Smith It certainly helps when your leader speaks the language! Even if the rest of us can be rather slow learners...
Brandon2495 you dont need to speak Russian when the sergeant is calling you an идиот! Lol
Possible newer recruits but yeah
Brandon F. My mom is from Russia and I can speak the language fluently, should I reenact russia because I can speak it?

Soviet Red Army marching and training before being deployed to fight in Stalingrad
*_-circa 1941, colorized 1995_*
its not funny when its actually what its kinda meant to be
Not 1941 they’re wearing m43 tunics
hi from Spain, we are Ispansi, a reenacting group of spaniards in Red army. We are made a red army drill manual. Its not easy !!!!
The language barrier is very difficult! But it is a very interesting impression.
Even 6 years later, I can agree its still
amazing! 👏

That's Ruzhnikov isn't it? Good guy right there. You're in good hands with him.
Indeed, he's the leader of our little band. Though, it's been a while since I've been to an event with them.
Ruzhnikov is always great :) as a Russian I say Great!!
English translation is " are jelly donuts allowed in my barracks private Pyle? "
5:13
Who was filming for this part?
Also the 4th one down resembles you from what I know, which is little.

great job guys!
+ww2militaria Thanks!
I like the orders of the officer in perfect Russian. You could write them to learn?
I have added the translations in 'annotations' to the video. Turn those on for the 'speech' and you should get them!
They aren't in perfect Russian. But, by God, they are trying.
Keen Ty MacDonald I can answer for you, no the faces are clearly American besides the officer who looks Slavic.
I don't speak russian, so...the impression is quite good for me.
Congrats for your unit, Towarisch Kommandant.

was the guy drilling a polish reenactor as well? i think i hake seen him before @Brandon F.

4:22 ah yes this is what Im looking for
At 3:30 was that a machine gun drill because during each run I counted 3 seconds then drop?
It's the sort of thing that might be employed against any fixed-position enemy, though normally done with far more people! It would allow suppressing fire to support an advancing force.
Cool video I'm gonna be there in 2024 with the 10th armored division

US Red Army.
Just curious if you still do Soviet ww2 reenacting. I'm just starting to get into it.
Blin, I didn’t know Brandon was a comrade!
Not bad at all :D
+Sergeant Serpromovich Thanks!
Pretty cool. In comparison to other nations, how is the Cost to reenact as Russians?
While it's always an expensive hobby, especially when you do it properly and include things like proper boots and a greatcoat with your impression, Soviet tends to be a fair bit cheaper than the others because of how barebones most of the kit really is.
Interesting. That is what I figured. I wanted to get into it however I did not like spending the large amounts on a uniform such as the German and American ones.

Near the 2:50 mark did I hear someone ask if they were German? I'm guessing hearing another language threw them off
Did that guy in the window called you guys ruskies? at 1:50?
Yes.
Reds march with straight legs, stomping the ground. Very important stuff !
so how do you go about blank adapting an svt 1940 these days?
5:43 he should ripped off the guards badge and thrown it on the ground lol. "ironic" that the "most decorated" is the worst fuck up. or not.....

I sense some polish notes in the officer’s accent, is that possible?
Very good! Let me ask you. Did you ever face hostility for reenacting the Red Army? America has a very strong anticommunist stance.
