You have parade uniforms for the Russian Postal Service? Do they parade on the Red Square during national holidays, a bag of letter on their shoulders?

No they don't. It's just that everyone loves a pretty parade uniform.

I guess they could have some military/political use delivering letter bombs.

It reminds me of Thailand, were teacher wears uniform on some days, and yellow shirts on others. I spent one year in a Thai school, and never understood what day was what.



Yes, they even have teaching medals and ribbons.

I found some suspicious news - nothing special, it ain't even related to Ukraine.


Seems fake-y.

If I didn't know those were for Russias postal service, I'd have thought that it was some sort of military getup, or maybe airline.

What was their old uniform?
It looks like a ceremonial uniform, the previous one looked like this:

You know, I was in Singapore's National Junior College once. It was generally awesome, but one thing bugged me. They all wore mouse-grey uniforms. It was kind of uncomfortable, given I wore khaki shirt and black jeans and was something like 7-10 cm higher than average student there and twice as wide in shoulders.

It seems that the uniform you gave a picture of is pretty much resembling the one I found, except the main color is blue, not black.

It's tough working with kids, and even tougher with teenagers. They deserve all of those medals.

This makes me a high ranking veteran of many theatres and campaigns then, even if it has been a while since I was truly on the front lines.

No. I was handling a group of teenagers in summer school in the countryside last year - used to be one of these teenagers four years before that.

Spy for me then? Because most teachers loved me, and the few that didn't, I wrecked...
