Soviet Beard Boy Contest

[slava1stclass]

To all:

You've seen examples of these these hairy troopers posted elsewhere in the Soviet section of this forum. Let's get these Soviet military beard boys gathered up in one thread and see who has the best beard among them. Shaving profile, what shaving profile? Let the contest begin!

This split-beard Captain 1st Rank is an appropriate chap to kick the competition off.

With 13 tank and 27 APC kills, no one is going to give HSU Captain Penezhko any grief for this beard.

HSU Captain First Rank M. V. Greshilov. There's gotta be a mouth there somewhere.

What happens when the beards begin to cover the Medal bars????

They move the bar lower towards the waist. Some of them were their medal ono their knee.

[peter monahan]

I especially like the central located single medal bar. Does his batman sew him in ad cut him out each day, or does he sleep in the uniform?
