On May 28, is celebrated an official Russian holiday: the Day of the Border Guards.

Both former border guards and active service celebrate it across the country. In Moscow, it is often celebrated in Gorky Park.

In May, the usually quite high temperatures in Russia allow border guards to swim in ponds and fountains. It is also normal for brawls to appear during the celebration as much vodka is involved.
