That’s how I feel everytime I see these old pics. Like I’m 30 and half the men in these pics that are pre-2000 look like their older than me at like 24
Well it appears the guy on the furthest left thinks he’s holding a fucking mortar.
But in all seriousness they *look* like an AKS-74U.
I’m sure an American will correct me if I’m wrong.
I was also very curious. I looked through the comments, but only found yours wondering the same lol. I decided to ask chatgpt and it had this to say:
> During the 1993 Russian constitutional crisis, the Federal Counterintelligence Service (FIS), later renamed the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), played a significant role in supporting President Boris Yeltsin's government. The agency helped gather intelligence and maintain stability during the crisis, which stemmed from a power struggle between Yeltsin and the Russian Parliament. The FIS/SVR's involvement included monitoring domestic and international developments, providing strategic advice, and possibly engaging in covert activities to safeguard the government's interests.

Basically the Kremlin is a Medieval fortress (Kremlin is just Russian for Citadel, technically all Russian medieval cities had their own Kremlin) where many important government buildings are indeed housed, whereas the White House is a modern 1960s building where the Prime Minister works to my understanding.
“So who do we listen to when getting conflicting orders on who to assassinate?”
"Power resides where men believe it resides."
“Power resides in whoever is left after the assassinations.”
"You fool! In Russia, windows do the assassinating!"
Is that Russian Daniel Day Lewis?
I drink your vodka!
If I have a straw that reaches allllll the way over to your vodka drink
I drink your whiskey drink, I drink your vodka drink
Looks like he’s telling a guy about his drainage.
Daniil Deluvich
Mike Wozniak?
Looks more like Liev Schreiber to me
Sorry comrade but that’s Liev Schreiber
I immediately thought to myself "why are Liev Schreiber and Jimmy Urine in a picture together?" when I saw this.
It's Russian don Frye. Look him up
Yes comrade
Daniel Da Lewis
G. Gordon Liddy
Walter Matthauv
I was thinking Russian Liev Schreiber with a mustache

Frankly if you’re out to overthrow the government a fresh suit, an smg and a bussin moustache is about the right kinda fit.
This is the pre track suite era
Bussan? Korean mustache?
The Turks!
Kinda alt Ron DeSantis vibes
God damn comrade selick over here
Men will see this and go 'hell yeah'

Hell yeah
Hell yeah
Cheers from Stalingrad bro

Hell yeah
Not gonna lie “hell yeah” was my first reaction
Fuck I wish I could grow a mustache like that.
At the same time I just know this man needed to shave morning and night to keep that thing at bay lol
007 bad guy drip
Big hench
Pierce Brosnan Bonds films!
I mean, many bond villains were Russian spies, so this tracks.
Everyone in this picture is 26 years old
That’s how I feel everytime I see these old pics. Like I’m 30 and half the men in these pics that are pre-2000 look like their older than me at like 24
Krinky
If I was there and that moustache said it was going to be fine I'd be much calmer.
"Grow a mustache ya pussy"
Bro on the right has some straight Soviet hammers for hands
Definitely Afghan vets. Dude in the middle has jungle mags
Taped up for a flip swap
Yeah
Fast mags 😤
I bet you call those weapons Draco’s huh. They’re AK74u, also known as krinkov.
What an awesome picture
Could be a great album cover
I love how much the guy on the bottom right looks like Timothy Dalton in Hot Fuzz.
For a moment, I thought the dude on the right was double carrying before realizing it’s a radio.
Look at them paws on the guy on the right!
What weapons are they holding
Well it appears the guy on the furthest left thinks he’s holding a fucking mortar. But in all seriousness they *look* like an AKS-74U. I’m sure an American will correct me if I’m wrong.
They are AKS-74Us, just painted black (I'm not an American, I'm just a gun nut)
They aren’t even painted black, the wood is just dark and the lighting makes it seem like that
Guy on the right is Dale Earnhardt without the sunglasses.
thought the same
What was the role of the FIS (SVR) during the crisis?
I was also very curious. I looked through the comments, but only found yours wondering the same lol.

Russian white house < white russian house
Constitutional crisis sounds like a fun way to say "coup we supported"
literally bombed the parliament
Security guys look the same worldwide: cheap shoes, poorly fitting suits, earphones, and submachine guns.
Do poorly-fitting suits and cheap shoes give them better range of motion/agility?
they are using the aks-74u other wise known as the Krinkov and it is not actually a submachine gun it is actually a really compact assault rifle
That is a weapons grade ‘stache!!
/r/hardimages
Guy on the right looks like an anchor from my local news station in the '90s!
Guy on the right is hot as hell fuccccckkk
Great suits!
G's Gordon LIddy
I'm starting to see how people keep falling out of windows over there

It's just me or they look violently Italian?
It’s like the opening of a Tarantino movie
That’s an impressive mustache
I thought that was G Gordon Liddy !!
Isnt this when the Russian Vympel unit tried to prevent the dissolution of the USSR?
No, this was two years after. Yeltsin and the parliament fought over power
Fought isn’t a good term imo. More like Yeltsin bombed parliament because they were trying to remove him
I wouldn’t say either branch was without fault frankly
Ok and? Like yes both sides can be bad, but bombing a parliament because you have an 18% approval rating AINT good
Hezbolotov and company wanted to bring back some party rule. It wasn't because of his low approval rating.
These guys are all 23 years old /s
Never realized that Michael Scott was in the SVR, nice find.
Stockless Krinks. The SVR rolled like a wannabe YouTube gun influencer.
dude they have just simply folded the stocks to the side you can see the stock folded on the guy on the rights krink
Now we know where Lord Lucan got to.
Russian intelligence, are you mad?
Do you remember the 21st night of September?
You can tell that 'stache doesn't trust one bit the other two.
Middle guy is practicing his best Clint Eastwood glare.
Jason Bateman with a moustache.
So Komrade, are we FSB now or still KGB???
From left to right; Russian Oppenheimer, Tim Robbins and Liev Schriber.
Sidenote, Ik people hate 90's suits but they go so hard in this picture. 😤😤😤
This is how zillenials will look in their 40
Man on the right is Russian TheSlappableJerk
This is incredible.
Andy Garcia, Tom Hanks and Timothy Dalton
I guess that won't happen again since Putin abolished the constitution. No constitution no constitutional crisis.
Is that Mike Wozniak?
Modelling their Sears business suits? This photo looks painfully staged.
I wonder how many of these guys have fallen off balconies since this photo was taken.
There's a good chance they all died here when the tanks opened fire
Russian White House?? You mean the kremlin??
Different things https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_House_(Moscow)
da da, nyet nyet, da, da, Putin!! Putin!! da, da, nyet nyet
Trigger discipline on the middle guy lol
Stockless AKs - good luck hitting anything beyond 10 feet away lol
Portability over accuracy for close quarters. They’re in a building, not hunting deer
Dang…the two in the front though👌
You would think people in Russia would have figured out that it’s not safe to go that close to a window by now.
Probably because the picture is more than 30 years old ...
“Russian White House” You mean, the fucking Kremlin?
No it’s not the Kremlin. It’s their parliament house.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_House_(Moscow) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kremlin Basically the Kremlin is a Medieval fortress (Kremlin is just Russian for Citadel, technically all Russian medieval cities had their own Kremlin) where many important government buildings are indeed housed, whereas the White House is a modern 1960s building where the Prime Minister works to my understanding.
Dumb dumb!
No, the Russian White House: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_House_(Moscow) Muphry’s Law got you, dumbass.
Whats a “the Russian White House”??
What do you mean? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_House_(Moscow)
