The 'russ' tradition - Juvenile saturnalia
The 'russ' tradition Source, more pics
The russ (More about the russ) - reveling teens clad in red or blue overalls who carry out dares and party hard for weeks before final exams - have a long tradition.This 1960 shot of red russ in front of the palace shows that in bygone days a vintage car and a cola were enough to get that party feeling.
The russ celebration – the end of 13 years of school
The 17th of May is also the day students in the last year of upper secondary school celebrate the end of 13 years of school. They call themselves russ, wear colourful overalls. High spirits are the norm and they generally have a lot of fun. They have their own processions with painted vans and busses decorated with slogans and jokes, and playing loud music.
