Where is the evidence that these are Russian soldiers at a combat post during the war?
The inscription on the website is not proof. You can write whatever you want there.
Evidence to the studio.

So now your wanting ""evidence""?

Funny how when we ask you to provide such you're quite as a wee mouse.

Why do they now supposedly have to be in combat and at post during a war?
Answer - they don't have to be.

They are Russian soldiers in drag.
Just like the pictures you posted of British soldiers goofing around in dresses.

Same/Same.

So in this thread, British soldiers are in positions during the war and even try to shoot.
And in your photo it’s unclear who it is and it’s a boudoir shot.

So where is the evidence, will it be?

It's very clear who those people are. They are Russian soldiers and they are in drag. It's historical fact.

Info on the picture HERE .

Photo was taken between 1910 and 1919.
It's part of The James Gardiner Collection

Apparently this was a common thing for soldiers around the world at that time period. "Military concert parties involving drag were an international phenomenon."

The British troops were caught off guard while playing and had to take action while still dressed up. However, the Russians got to do provocative pictures and play without interruption. It doesn't matter the setting ... the end is the same ... soldiers playing dress up as women.

SAME/SAME.

What was the point of your opening post anyways? You never really say what the pictures were supposed to mean.

Takes the wind out of your sails. You thought you had a 'gotchya' over something but it turns out that the Brits and the Russians back then were doing the same thing to blow off steam.

Like I said, this is a NOTHINGBURGER. British soldiers and Russian soldiers playing the same game. SAME/SAME

It is absolutely clear that
1. Nothing is clear
2. You have no evidence

Thank you for the reasoned discussion)))

This was the same point I was trying to make, before the woke-brigade deleted my post..

What was the point of RT's original OP? What was the gain? I couldn't understand the childish nature of the post. As i said, maybe the post was meant for us to question Western values, realise that RT's post was so cutting that is destroyed our belief system and for us to fall at the knees of Puddy Putin..?

No idea. Just seems like a very pointless thread. But, here we are.

Dude .. what part of this didn't you get ... it was done frequently by soldiers around the world during that time period.

You didn't answer. What is the point of this thread?
Your opening post didn't say. What was your goal with it?

And continuing from your point, it was very common as a form of entertainment : Background

Men donning female clothing as a means of entertainment has a long and celebrated history, both in music halls and in celebrations and events such as university rag weeks. For working-class men and women in particular, bawdy drag acts were an important cultural trope. In the armed forces, female imper­sonation undertaken by personnel for their colleagues dates back to at least the eighteenth century. During the First World War, entertainment in the trenches took many forms but men often mimicked civilian drag performances. It was estimated by the historian J. G. Fuller that 80 per cent of the divisions that served in active war theatres during the war had an established concert party attached to them. Men performing as women formed a large part of the unofficial entertain­ment laid on by theatrical subunits, whether organized as part of an evening's entertainment or merely as a means of passing the time. Between 1939 and 1945, cross-dressing performances were sanctioned by offi­cials within the armed forces as essential to the maintenance of morale.

Dude, while, as you say, “soldiers all over the world” were engaged in “this matter,” the Russian army fought, the soldiers died, but they crushed the enemy from Moscow and Stalingrad to Berlin.

a reply to: RussianTroll

As did the British, as well as many other Allies in WW1/WW2.

Your point?
