Looking again and again on the faces of these funny guys dressed up in old Russian military uniforms I cannot stop to smile. I like these guys who perfectly work their earnings off to let you to take pictures with them. You can find them nearby the entrance into State Historical Museum which is located on the Red Square. This year their price was 100 rubles (about $4) for each guard and you can take several shots with them - another way of shooting on the Red Square, isn't it? :-) By the way, if you will try to take a shot of them without payment - they can show you their backs almost immediately...

Who are Streltsy? You can learn short historical overview about these Russian guards on my website: Shooting with Streltsy

PS: Hope that you will enjoy this picture too!

With BEST Regards,
Arthur Lookyanov

Hello Arthur, good action shot and those soldiers are good actors - I love their expressions:) And interesting history of the Streltsy too - thank you.
That red uniform would make them stand out in the snow and also in the other seasons too - no hiding - the red would give them away.
Good shot,
Thank you
Janice
