I sent this video to a Russian friend, thinkin he'd die laughing, especially since he loathes all homeys.
But he got all sentimental about it, saying with a sniff how much it reminded him of his childhood! Shit!
Looks like child rumbles have been a staple of Russian boyhoods for centuries. He told me a circle of bigger boys would push two smaller boys into the middle and duke it out. The loser was called a pussy for the rest of his days until he entered the circle and finally won a fight.
He told me, the best thing is to win immediately; that way, the older boys let the winner be part of the audience for all other fights.
